Good story - with a (mostly) happy ending. I'm not convinced that MAC Addresses should replace the use of serial numbers for proof of ownership though.

Very interesting! Thanks for sharing Jason. That was very nice detective work by the writer. After reading this, I sent this link to my brother, with an advise to note down the serial numbers of his laptop

When you purchase a new computer or send a computer for repair, insist that the serial number be recoded in the invoice or delivery order. That's always a better evidence that the thing belongs to you.
