A man surnamed Xu returned from a trip to find his laptop computer missing and messages from the thief asking for his computer's password.

Xu found his home in Wuhan, Hubei province, was burglarized and then saw several mobile phone messages from the crook.

The burglar found his number from a business card in his computer bag.

Xu stored several racy photos of him and his girlfriend on his computer and doesn't want it exposed. He called police and is trying to stall the thief by offering money for the laptop.
