I had the same thought, also, although I have no idea why he would track ita down and give her the bag if he was involved.
This is what fandom has done to me. Also, FB friends, who I know in RL but haven't seen in ten years, announced that their 8 year old son died of cancer on Christmas Eve. And while my reaction was 95% "how sad and awful", there was 5% of "really? on Christmas Eve he finally dies after two years of fighting?"
Dana, I am so sorry about your loss.
I understand the suspicions, but I think you'd have to be pathological to break into a car, steal the laptop & then return the laptop bag to the owner. Not that it's impossible, but unlikely.
Some people are pathological. I'm just saying, "That would crazy/stupid!" is never a reason to think that a human didn't do something. Humans are kinda nuts. I didn't think he might be a bad guy, though. Guess I'm still somewhat trusting of my fellow crazy humans.
ION, my frakkin' wireless works again. All I did was turn it off, let it rest, and turn it on again. I can't guarantee this happy state of affairs will last, but for now, I'm upstairs on my eeePC AIFG.
See in my head, if I delivered items back in person, I would be casing the homes, also getting info on the owners I would't know from the original theft. Is it a couple, young person, old person, guy, girl, kids, pets? Like I said, welcome to my brain. I am the person who doesn't invite neighbors into my home until we have had many many interactions and usually until I have been in their house first. My psyche, let me show you. Shockingly single, I know.
People, you are insane. The guy who returned the laptop bag is not planning a more elaborate heist than the "smash car window and steal laptop" job.
Very different m.o.s - so unlikely.
My condolences on your loss, Dana.
Dana, I'm very sorry.
I won't need an alarm clock for the next two weeks: the dogs go off at 6:30 AM regardless of when I went to bed. I ended up with the Pony in my bedroom and my pillow over my head just so I could stay in bed for an extra 45 minutes. It is New Year's Day, after all!
Walked the dogs, fed my niece & her two friends, scooped the yard, vacuumed the kitchen. Can I go back to bed now?
Dana, I'm so sorry.

People actually do die at a statistically higher rate on and around holidays and anniversaries. (Sick people I mean, leaving aside drunk driving accidents and such.) Of course, so do internet hoaxes, I imagine.
