I've been a consistent attendee of the last few London meetups and have attended many more before that and this first time I've seen or heard of allegations of theft at London meetups. I do wonder who this "well known Wikipedian" is intended to be and who the "witnesses" are exactly, but I'm as

This is the first I've heard of it - but it is indeed something that should be reported directly to the police. If true then it may well be a theft. If anyone has any more information about this, then please contact the police as a priority (dial 101). Otherwise, I think we should keep discussion

I see Jimmy has recommended this is a matter for the police. Certainly if there is any truth in the claim that an Apple Laptop was stolen, that seems a pretty big deal and should have been reported at the time. I recall how incredibly hard it was, when I was a trustee, to actually get a meaningful
