The internet user sympathised with the individual who took the laptop. “Why not make him the same offer as the supposed buyer he found,”  one commenter suggested. Another person said, “Anyone who is able to offer this guy a job, please. This man went through the laptop and found a Research proposal and actually appreciates the effort and time that goes into it. Honestly, I’d hire him if I had the means.”

“So you know now, that they were truly in dire need of money without having lost their morals or being “a bad person”.  I believe it’s lovely that you’re trying to minimise your loss. Hopefully, people are becoming aware of what capitalism is doing to us “The third person commented.

“A respectful thief,” said the fourth.
