Here is a much funnier and more technical account of someone retrieving their stolen computer. In video form!

I've been thinking about that video... the guy says it started connecting to the network over 2 years after it was stolen. It seems unlikely (or at least plausible) that the guy who had it was the guy who stole it... or did I miss a key bit of info that justified it all?

That's true. He did say that he gave up looking for it on Craigslist and eBay after a while, so it may have changed hands after he gave up the search.
