I am sympathetic to the fact that it was quite inconvenient for him, but it seems to me that this is only news because it happened to a celebrity.
It seems that his laptop was also stolen, which led to the cancelling of some lectures. That to me would have been a better article headline (i.e. "rms lectures cancelled due to computer theft).
