"He originally took the evidence to the police, but due to resource restrictions, they were unable to help him even though he had photos of somebody using his MacBook."

When a corporation loses an item like an iphone prototype for example, the police take over the residence of a citizen with swat team force to retrieve it. Funny how that works...

Obviously, that's why politics & money go hand in hand. Justice 'really' doesn't exist any more. Not in the US anyway; I can't speak for other nations, but I'm sure some folks may echo a similarity.
I'm writing a blog with a myriad of stuff reflecting what you folks here have said & what has happened in my life. Give it a look here about Sunday & leave a comment on the site ("that" site, not here). The address is in my signature. Don't worry, I don't bite.

Yep, by the look of that ornate wooden bedhead, Mr Aldebashi has been doing life real hard. Hope he can get accustomed to having his face shoved hard into his prison issue pillow.

Some cops or security (off duty cops) who can carry a concealed weapon off duty will take a few bucks to go door to door & ask questions pertaining to absolutely nothing regarding your laptop. Next thing you know, they'll happen into the pricks house, see your property confirm it & help you to make the arrest.
but yeah, police in my town cant do anything.
