No, it's not the lame, new version of a 'guy walks into a bar' joke, it's a tumblr called 'This Guy Has My MacBook'.
The tumblr purportedly contains snap-shots of a thief using a MacBook that was stolen in Oakland from the blog's author. Or, it's some seriously ingenious viral marketing from Hidden, a software service that allows you to remotely use the camera of your MacBook and locate it if it's ever stolen.
Either way, the comic potential of this is limitless…

So awesome that this feature exists. He was totally looking at porn in the bottom shot. lol
I wonder if they’ll catch him?
I don’t believe it. He had the thing open, and on his dash while driving?
This is clearly a viral ad.
Some dude steals my shit and I know exactly where he lives, exactly where the shit is, and the cops can’t deal? That’s called “some phone calls to some pals, a ball bat, and then hanging out in front of a house followed by someone giving me my shit back.”
Of course, this could all go horribly wrong (e.g, smashing up the wrong car in “The Big Lebowski”).
Right, upper middle class kids used to time outs and lawsuits over namecalling in school are totally going to exact physical justice with a baseball bat over a MacBook.
That guy’s face… Is scary.
After reading this article I installed Prey on my MacBookPro. Definitely don’t ever want someone beating their meat on my !
