Sean Power was able to track down his stolen laptop online using the tracking software Prey and discovered it was being used by Paolo Votano, co-owner of Oficina Latina NYC (at the time Sean was out of town on business). Sean updated his progress via Twitter, with his followers doing additional research and two of them even helped recover the laptop. Brandon Ballenger shows how the story unfolded on Twitter.
