It never ceases to amaze me the lengths people will go to in order to protect their property. Three Maryland women have been charged with “attempted murder, assault, conspiracy and other offenses and are being held without bail,” all over a stolen iPod.
“Thursday night and an argument began. Authorities say 23-year-old Derak Seward of Barclay held a knife to Lockwood’s throat while Weaver and 21-year-old Jewell Bedwell of Denton dragged her across a gravel lot to a drainage ditch. There, authorities say they held Lockwood’s head under water several times until she told them where the iPod was.”
The moral of the story: unless you want to be charged with attempted murder amongst other things, either report the stolen iPod and let the police deal with it, or get a new one.

Not sure how I feel about this one. Probably went a little to far to get an iPod back… but… if people were afraid that this would happen to them if they got caught stealing, there would be less of it.

So that is how the new “Find my iphone” works…(that is if it where an iphone.)

When my iPod was stolen I found this great online recourse to report iPod theft:

It makes me feel better knowing there is a record of the iPod’s serial number reported stolen online.
