Wow. This thing took on a life of its own. Hopefully not a fata, I searched 'stolen sidekick' before posting...
So a woman loses her sidekick, and asks her techie friend to help retrieve lost info. He went one further, and retreived the machine... But it took a little effort on his part and support from a few thousand people.
This is like a cp jihad to the hundredth degree...
Unless NY has some really lax young-offender laws, I'm guessing the Times could print her name because it was already splashed all over the Internet? Embarassing.
