Too bad that some guy is going to spend years and years in prison over drug charges when he should really only be charged with theft but I guess the lesson is don't go stealing traceable devices when you're running a dope operation.
Seems more likely he accepted the laptop as payment for drugs. The original thief was smart enough not to turn it on, hence taking a couple days to show up.
Possession of marijuana and murder, two completely analogous things. I certainly hope all the people he victimized with his marijuana possession get compensated.
