Used computer not such a bargain, after all.
A tattooed man who unwittingly used a stolen computer to upload shirtless photographs of himself to the Internet said his life has been turned upside down by the unwelcome fame.

"I'm a completely reasonable person," said Colin, who refused to give his last name, in a cellphone interview yesterday. "I just kind of keep to myself and my work. If this is really what people's focus is, their lives are pretty pathetic. If I'm the big story because I made an error in judgment -- wow."

Colin, who turned the stolen machine over to Victoria police Tuesday, insists he didn't know the computer was stolen. He said he bought it from a friend, who bought it from someone else.
