It's starting to look like 'This Guy Has My MacBook' was actually NOT a marketing ploy by HiddenApp. Last night, after the story received national media attention (and the Oakland PD received calls from Good Morning America), the man pictured in various compromising positions on Josh Kaufman's tumblr was arrested and his MacBook recovered.  

 

Muthanna Aldebashi, an Alameda cab and limo driver, was lured by police into picking them up for his car service.  The MacBook was found in his home and he was arrested for possessing stolen property.  Thee-o-so-creepy-one claimed that he was given the laptop as a gift, and the identity of the actual thief is still unknown.  So there you go tech investors, now might be a good time to throw some money at HiddenApp, it's definitely earned its street cred.
