Many, many years ago a guy at work steals a pc and sells it for cash.

So the person he sold it to had a problem with it, called the help desk listed on the pc...

...yeah the one at work.

Ran into him a few years later, only time I ever saw him again, looked like he was doing construction work instead of suit and tie kinda stuff, had spent 1 1/2 years in prison. Not a bad guy aside from the way he dealt with cash flow problems. Perplexing b/c he had a decent job but living beyond his means I guess trying to "lead the life"
