Thief stole from Workspace; left photo behind

My friend Bill runs Workspace, a really cool shared space / co-working environment here in Vancouver's Gastown. On Friday night Workspace celebrated their first anniversary with a great party that I dropped in on.

Unfortunately, thieves broke into Workspace just prior to the anniversary. The thieves stole laptops and computers and were caught on tape. And then they were caught using one of the computers.

The photo below is from the computer Workspace had at their front desk. After it was stolen.

The iMac had the application Photobooth running from its internal camera. In a few steps anyone could take an image of themselves sitting in front of the computer, name it and upload it to the Workspace Flickr account. The thief, after stealing the computer, did just that. He even named the photo "me."

So this is the thief:

Does he look familiar to you? How about his tattoos? If so, please contact the Vancouver police.
