[…] Jesse McPherson is a 26-year-old, an engineer at Comcast Interactive Media and today, our hero. A little over half a month ago, McPherson’s Fishtown apartment was burglarized and he lost his flat screen television, his Apple Laptop and his Xbox 360. Within the past week, he’s gotten not only his laptop and Xbox back, but also an apology from the local burglar — and all because of the power of the internet. […]

I know the guy that returned the laptop claimed he bought it, but come one. No one buys a laptop and then tries to pawn it.

I’m glad Mom called as you know she’s going to take that out of son’s hide.

Now for the TV. I hope this time the cops have been shamed into actually doing their jobs.

And kudos to the e-community. Great work. If more stories had endings like this, there would be less morons out trying to rip people off. Well, maybe not. If they were rocket scientist to begin with, they wouldn’t be out stealing other peoples hard-earned stuff.

Karmageddon at its finest.

This story has been so epic, it should be made into a high budget hollywood block buster.

To OK: Sorry to crush your outstanding comment but I spend my days in service of a Fortune 500 company and no I don’t cover up my ink in the office. I am great at what I do and that is what matters. Stop judging people by what they look like, you’ll meet a lot of great people.

You sound a little old to be on the internet, Mr/Mrs ‘ok’.

Cool, now quit playing video games and get a somewhat socially acceptable hair cut hippy. And cover up the tat unless you would enjoy on working a Mcjob the rest of your life.

Jesse,

Glad you got your stuff back. BTW, I gave the kid who stole your stuff my ID10T award from the week. Tired to leave a comment earlier but wasn’t able to.
