Stolen Laptop Reward... Drugs

PA - A Philadelphia man used his skills as an advertising executive to devise a unique way of getting back his stolen laptop... Surveillance video captured the robbery on tape... Refusing to take the robbery lying down, Kurt Shore devised a campaign to find the missing notebook.

First, he posted the surveillance video on the Philly-based website wheresthefairness.com with hopes of getting attention for his cause. The same video also went to YouTube, announcing a reward of an ounce of marijuana.

He then printed and posted posters offering a “fabulous drug stash” to whoever returned the computer.

Shore isn’t actually offering drugs. The bottom of the poster reads “Actual reward may vary.” (more)
