    This is pretty insane. A woman in Atlanta was the victim of a burglary, during which she was tied to her bed as the robber made off with her valuables and car (2009 Acura TSX, BGU-8496 if you see it call the po). Her laptop was on her bed, and she managed to get it open with her feet, hit CTRL-ALT-DEL to wake it up, and launch her IM client, on which she was able to raise her boyfriend in the conversation seen above.

    PSA! Open your laptop right now and check if you’d be able to do the same thing! Seriously, you never know what might happen. Might want to check your significant others, too.
