INSIDE THE COMPUTER that a burglar stole days ago from a home on Santa Rosa’s Humboldt Street is mission control for the effort to assist Honza Ripa, the Healdsburg teen paralyzed in mid-June by a jump into the Russian River.

The laptop — an HP Pavilion — belonged to Steve Kanzler. He’s the family friend whose avocation has become fund-raising and seeking treatment for Honza.

Kanzler has been hoping for miracles ever since Honza was hurt. He sees no harm in expecting now that someone will realize the importance of the swiped laptop and give it back.
