So girl stole it. Sold it to some dude on Craigslist. Who then Sold it on eBay. And dude from South Carolina completely wiped it lol. Btw everything he said about consultation stuff and it having a tracker was complete bullshit. He did however have personal data on a bunch of kids from his class, like contact information, etc. The only reason they found out where it went is because they looked at previous sold listings for laptops on eBay. The person who originally stole it never got caught.

So everyone who didn't steal the computer paid a lot of tuition money to miss a portion of a class to get yelled at

This is a bluff. If they knew who took it they would already have it back. Take better care of your stuff, thieves are everywhere.

Ha Ha I got the laptop

"You are also in possession of Richard Quinn's Test Bank. Richard Quinn has been notified."

*Will Ferrell voice*. Is this bad? Is this bad?

You had all that in a laptop you just carry around in public? I call bullshit 😂

Lemme take a wild guess at what happened here…the computer was maybe recovered, maybe not…and the kid who stole it was never positively identified.

This guy is so FoS. I'm sure Microsoft was very interested in the case.

the female student that stole the laptop: "oh good hes totally bluffing"

Once you graduate College, you see professors for what they are. Snobby Noobs who like to be feared and admired by kids. Shut the hell up prof, if everything is so clear and proven already, why go through this BS.

I can't believe PWNAGE used to be cool to say but I miss it.

Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi, you're my only hope.

Do any student in a situation like this buy that kind of bullshit?

Update?

If this is all true, this professor was the laughing stock of all these companies for allowing a village kid to get ahold of all this info and probably never worked again.

Did he get it back tho?!😂😮

Hahaha. I installed Linux on it!

Did they get him?

I would have known this was a bluff because NO WAY such critical or sensitive data would be saved on some random laptop that's unsecured regardless of his work.....still ... Stop cheating students.... c'mon.... do your own work....

This was a VERY good bluff, and if I stole the laptop I may even be scared. Truth is though if they had all this they wouldn't bother telling the person, they would just get them. Why? You have now given them a heads up and good reason to do absolutely whatever it takes to put that laptop somewhere it will never be found and say "I didnt do it" till your mouth gets tired. You removed the likelihood that they may have been sloppy when they will now be on high alert.

I just came across this. Unreal. LOL, the FBI, CIA, everyone is coming after a laptop thief. So hundreds of millions worth of information on your computer just for anyone to open? What a loser. I bet the KFC recipe is on there too. Colonel will be pissed.

So why not just talk to the student directly, and why tell everyone how the thief got caught? Also - how can you let that get stolen and how do you plan on keeping your job after allowing the thing to get stolen? Even if the kid returns it.

*Finds the laptop, in his old computer bag, in the trunk of his other car, the next day.

I can’t stand when teachers put their own incompetence on students.

Sir this is a Wendy's

I was randomly suggested ONE video of a professor accusing his students of cheating. I am now on a deep dive of academic scandals and I just can't stop binging this content.

“And you insulted the prophet big time. Fatwa on the way, Bro.”

There's something so quaint about the way he thinks Microsoft was actively monitoring how many times he installed Windows in 2005. As if Bill Gates himself got an alert that someone had used the same product key twice.

As he's talking about how much trouble the thief is in for what they're in possession of, I'd be thinking to myself "this dude must be in a ton of shit for what HE lost possession of".

"You have classified data that details the Krabby Patty Formula."

I don't care.

Sheesh, imagine being the child of or married to this guy. I bet he’ll also live on a pretty street with other adults & parents just like him, who are directly creating unhappy individuals and so indirectly creating misery for this and the next generation.

He never got it back either

Help us Obi-Wan Kenobi, you are our only hope.

The thief is now living on an island enjoying the good life.

Nicky Flurry, Bruce Wayne, and Superman have all been briefed, sources outside of this jurisdiction including The Guardians of the Galaxy have also been informed as well.

Seems like the bad guy in an Ocean’s movie

I'm not some major egghead or anything similar but why leaving that kind of data on your laptop? Personally I call bullshit, no way in hell someone would be that fucking stupid, this is bait clear and simple.

I’m not in IT but that transponder spew sounds like complete bs

with all the alleged information on the computer, you think it was to steal an exam? lol

I peed on this professor’s car once, lol.

He needs to work with that guy from UCF

what a jack@$$.....

First question, "You left trade secrets on a laptop, unattended, in a school?"

I am curious to know if the professor got his laptop back. What happens if the thief returns the laptop at 11:56?

I work in tech, held various roles, cisco net admin, microsoft sys admin, cyber, and software engineering, i call his bluff

Yeah, forensics needs to thoroughly go through that laptop for other reasons.

POrn collection

The best part about this whole thing is that 13 years later, with 3.1 million views on JUST youtube alone, you know this professor has seen this shit lol.
