Look at the pictures. Who do you think needs the laptop more? I think it's better (and probably all we can do) to inform the Iranian police and plead with them them to just find and ask these people who sold them the laptop.

Whoever's ultimately responsible for the theft is in the US--finding the seller on the Iranian side will help you track down the person who ultimately stole it.

Not US, UK.

The US wasn't involved in this story. I assume you mean the UK.

This isn't socialism. The laptop is the property of someone and isn't assigned out based on need.

Also, possession of stolen goods is not an excuse. Ignorance is not an excuse.
