Geek Beats Up Thief During Attempt to Steal Laptop

Post by Yoon »

When it comes to robbing geeks, everything is okay to take, just don't try to steal their computer, as one thief found out:
ASU student Alex Botsios said he had no problem giving a nighttime intruder his wallet and guitars.

When the man asked for Botsios' laptop, however, the first-year law student drew the line.

"I was like, 'Dude, no -- please, no!" Botsios said. "I have all my case notes…that's four months of work!"

At that point, the law student wrestled the bat away and began punching Saucedo, Botsios said.

Even when threatened with a bat, the geek went ahead and punched the thief when the thief went after his laptop. :shock:
Otherwise, he said he is happy that his laptop is unharmed.

"It's my baby," he said. "Don't mess with my computer."
I guess it shows not to mess with geeks, especially when it comes to their computers. :lol:

...wow...
Reminds me of a wallpaper I've seen some time ago...
"It's not a computer.
It's my wife.
Take your filthy hands off!"

Show me what it's like, to be the last one standing~~
And teach me wrong from right, and I'll show you what I can be~~
And say it for me, say it to me~~
And I'll leave this life behind me~~
Say it if it's worth saving me~~
