You should go down to the police department and bring a copy of this thread with you. This is an extortion attempt pure and simple. If you had stolen a computer, the police would have contacted you, not some scammery-scummery extortionists. THis is just an attempt by some debt collector to scare some money out of of you. Don't fall for it.
