How to steal an iPod and not get away with it

ipodI can't decide if this is a Mac horror story or not. Mr. Adrian Smith, who manages a UK-based Apple retail store, had his iPod stolen from his car. A week later, the thief himself walked into the store, with the stolen iPod, and asked Adrian to help him buy cables for it. Adrian immediately recognized his iPod and managed to chat with the thief until police arrived, who arrested him on the spot.

There are so many ways to go with this, feel free to insert your own joke. We're glad you got your iPod back, Adrian.

Apparently grammer and spelling also do not "suck up to the mainstrean (sic) social life"

The apple store at the westchester is based on the second floor and i always imagined creating a chain of people to trow the ipods to over the second floor opening.

I've stolen over 500 IPods from men women and children alike, and have been caught every time because they always break and I always try to get them replaced at the Apple Store. You see, my first IPod was stolen and I vowed then and there that everyone should have to suffer the same fate. Unfortunately for me, everyone remembers exactly what their IPod looks like and gives an impeccable description to the Apple Store employees who then scrutinize every IPod return just in case it may be stolen. I keep thinking I'm gonna get away with it, but I never do.

I'm totally impressed with Mr. Smith's patience. As soon as I saw my iPod I would have punched the thief in the face and taken it back. Score one for Apple store employees who maintain the calm, peaceful Apple image even when their stolen iPod walks through the door.
