The Inquirer has reported that the two thieves that have stolen the Half-Life 2 source-code have now been caught. They certainly didn't lay-low by the sound of it.

“Now, these people were caught not because of the brilliance of law enforcement, or the stupidity of their actions, as is so common with some criminals, but because they picked on the wrong community.

Pick on something that has a long running, close knit, and rather rabid following, and you have problem. Look to SCO for an example.”
