420 flashback 12-3-19

Bono had an item stolen from his car back in 1999. After much to do about the theft and loss, the item was returned from a guy who had bought it for his wife. What was it?

Answer:

A laptop! The guy had bought it for just under $400 bucks from somebody he thought was a reputable so his wife could learn computers. When he switched it on a picture Bono’s new baby Elijah popped up. Being a father himself, that made it more important to get the computer back to the owner. The computer also housed material for a new album.
