Police find stolen laptop via social media

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB Fox 41) -- Police say they recovered a stolen laptop -- and they used social media like Facebook and MySpace to do it.

28-year-old Sammy Abdin of Louisville has been arrested after police say he was in possession of a laptop -- valued at roughly $1,500 -- that had been stolen from Norton Hospital.

Special computer tracking software, called LoJack Computrace, had been used to determine that someone had been using the stolen computer. Police reports say Abdin had been tracked via the software for at least two months.

Police were able to get a positive ID on Abdin via images of himself that he had uploaded to social media pages, such as Facebook or MySpace.

Police knocked on his door in the 9900 block of Winged Foot Drive late Monday night and told him they wanted the computer back.

Adbin admitted that he had the computer and surrendered it to an officer, who was able to match the serial numbers to the missing laptop.

Abdin is charged with receipt of stolen property.
