The thief who stole a Macbook Air from hyper-entrepreneur, threewords.me creator and weekend New Yorker Mark Bao has turned the machine in to the police and sent Mr. Bao a note asking for forgiveness. The impetus is likely this video of the thief attempting to pop-and-lock to ~~"Rubber Band Man"~~ Tyga's "Make It Rain" recorded on the stolen Macbook Air, retrieved by remote access and posted to YouTube, Vimeo and Reddit. "Can you please put down the videos you put of me," the thief wrote in a note posted by The Next Web's Courtney Boyd Myers.

Apparently not; the video is still up, at 376,838 views and counting, and Mr. Bao's thirst for revenge yet unslaked. "Update on laptop: laptop recovered! Police were preparing a warrant, but the guy was smart and just turned it in. wish I got more lulz in," he tweeted.
