Stolen MacBook Snaps Many Hilarious Photos of Thieves

Macbook Autoupload
Everyone who ever said built-in iSights were a security risk? They’ve been proven right again, but this time in reverse. A MacBook used in London Fashion Week and set to upload Photo Booth pictures to the Topshop site was snatched about a week ago. In the mean time, the crooks have used Photo Booth A LOT, sending their ridiculous mugs right to the top of the queue.
The victim of the theft has confirmed it’s true to Gizmodo today:

This is not a hoax. Two computers were stolen from the Covent Garden venue during London Fashion Week, London, UK. These computers were set up to automatically upload photos to the Topshop London Fashion Week Website via the Topshop Flickr Account. About a month after the theft new photos appeared on our Flickr account and London Fashion Week website. Whether the people in the photos are the thieves, or have just bought a dodgy computer is still in question. As of Thursday 5th April 2007, these computers had still not been recovered.

Anyone recognize their sketchy friends here?
