Kurt Shore, president of D4 Creative Group in Philadelphia, put his skills to good use after his laptop was stolen recently. He whipped up posters offering a “fabulous drug stash” in exchange for information leading to the computer’s return. The fine print clarifies that the “Actual award may vary,” but the headline could theoretically tempt the thief himself into a swap, depending on the extent of his other vices. Shore also posted surveillance video of the theft (the latop was stolen from Shore’s car in a parking lot) to YouTube.
