Although the original owner was remotely connected to his laptop to gradually gather information about the new owner’s family, police were unable to track down the laptop. The original owner shortened the long wait by writing new knowledge on a blog, where he published the captured photos and screenshots and humorously commented on them. And because the new owner liked to visit erotic sites on a laptop, it directly encouraged it.
The blog was written with English-speaking friends in mind, yet the remarkable story quickly spread. Due to the interesting technological background, we are talking about it they also wrote on Živa, but large media, including TV Nova and tabloids, also caught the case. Then the laptop and its new owners were found.
The new owner defended himself by saying that he bought the laptop second-hand and that he was not an alleged thief. He therefore filed a lawsuit against the original owner for psychological damage caused by the disclosure of information, and other lawsuits followed. This began the court struggle that continues to this day.
You can now listen to the whole story and HitHitu, where the robbed original owner collects money for court costs credited to him. In total, this makes CZK 161,337. It is only a proportion of the costs of the court, the other party has not yet judged any money. However, the machinery is not over yet. The aim is to draw attention to the risks associated with the purchase of stolen goods and to ensure that in other similar cases, the original owner of the item is better protected. According to the author of the campaign, the new owner was clearly aware of the origin of the laptop, and the court is still giving him the truth in this.
