Follow up: Berkeley Professor told Porky Pies?
According to this follow up story on the Berkeley Profeesor and the stolen laptop, the laptop hasn't yet been recovered, and the professor may have been a little, erm, economical with the truth in some of the ways he claimed it was being tracked. The Inquirer does their usual hatchet job, though: the headline "Redfaced professor made up scary story" isn't actually backed up by the story, which claims that he "may have exaggerated his story a tad.".
But strangely enough, the story that the Inquirer based it on (which was run by ABC news) seems to have been pulled: it's not even in the Google News cache anymore.
