It looks like Keven Costner’s Apple laptop was stolen a little over a year ago. From the Scotsman’s article:
An upmarket hairstylist [Pascal Bensimon, age 44], has been charged with stealing actor Kevin Costner’s laptop computer, which had private photos of his wedding. [Bensimon] surrendered to Pitkin police officials in Colorado this week after a 14-month investigation.
The computer contained private photos of Costner’s 2004 wedding to Christine Baumgartner, which took place at his Aspen-area ranch.
Celebrities are especially vulnerable due to their large bank accounts and financial information that may be available on the laptop. And also their personal photos and information are vulnerable, which appears to be the motive in the theft of Kevin Costner’s laptop. At least they found the accused thief, probably because he released some of the photos attempting to make money from them.
