A few months ago, someone helped themselves to a Mini sitting on a shelf in my office. Yesterday, thanks to Dropbox, I saw that it was on line on the other side of Geneva, in the Haute-Savoie. I went up the the local gendarmerie and reported the theft, and the IP being used. The computers in the gendarmerie were not allowed to go to dropbox.com to confirm the IP -- rural France welcomes cyber criminals with open arms -- and they will send the papers off to a judge somewhere who may or may not act at some point to demand that SFR reveal the identity of the then user of the machine.
I could leave a message in the DB folder suggesting that the user deliver the machine anonymously back to my office but I have no way of knowing that he or she will read it. Is there any better way of getting a message through? The machine has not been on line for a couple of days now.
