The owner of a place in Delft (that used to take Bitcoin) suddenly remembered that his laptop was stolen eight years ago. It had 2 BTC and some Doge on it. Now he's asking the thief to return it, in local news interview.
This is a reminder to make backups even for small amounts. Also it seems most likely to me that the device was wiped after the theft.
Article doesn't mention if the coins moved after the theft.
