As Witonis tells the story, \"Within a day, a guy at Apple executive customer relations called me back,\" followed up by an email.

\"Within five days of me getting a call, they come to the conclusion that they were going to give the detective whatever information he needed,\" Witonis said, adding that \"within two hours\" of the Dover police receiving this information, they were able to confirm or track down the alleged thief, Casey Wentworth.

Wentworth could not be reached for comment by ABCNews.com and it is not clear if he has an attorney.

Lt. Brant Dolleman said the Dover Police Department contacted Apple for assistance in locating the stolen computer and that detectives were eventually able to trace that customer service call to Wentworth, who was arrested on Monday. He was released on $1,000 personal recognizance bail and is scheduled to be arraigned on May 2, police said.

When asked if Wentworth voluntarily confessed to the theft, Dolleman said that the case continues to be an active investigation.

As for Witonis, he said he still hasn't received his MacBook Air because it's in police custody as evidence. Though he said police told him \"it's pretty beat up.\"

He's glad there is some resolution to his missing laptop, and he said he hopes Apple is able to assist customers in future situations more expediently.

\"I guess moving forward, if other people don’t have to deal with it, that would be good,\" he said.
