Guy has the address, cc numbers, phone numbers, can probably look up the names of the residence, family members,. Very likely capable of stealing his identity.

He may have been an engineer himself, recognized the tools and asked if he worked for NCR. Who knows maybe NCR is common?

For the second question, money is easiest. In fact, had I had my backpack returned with my laptop, ds, textbooks etc etc, I'd be happy to have given the thief 100 or even 200$. As it is, most thieves will go through a bag, take the money, and throw everything else into a dumpster, so be glad it's only ten.

Lol that's what I said to my brother, he was so upset but it could of been so much worse.

hange the locks if keys were in the bag, change the card numbers, etc.

Also, who knows, maybe he was looking to get some kind of referral. Like, Hey I met this guy today who found my bag, he was an engineer too. I dunno, people have crazy ideas when times are tough.

Lastly, yes it's possible that someone else stole it, and that guy found it and they happen to look alike.

Whatever the case may be, be glad you got everything back except for a tenner.
