Boasting About Laptop Theft Lands Man In Jail

2010_08_macbook.jpg Loose lips sink ships, but that does nothing for one's street cred! The Post reports, "A blabber-mouth thief was busted at a Union Square Starbucks after an eavesdropping cop overheard him boasting about stealing an Apple laptop, police said yesterday. Gabby suspect Michael Baldwin, 25, was showing off the pilfered laptop to a pal at about 9 p.m. Thursday, authorities said." Apparently Baldwin, who was quickly arrested, had stolen the laptop earlier in the day.
