How to steal an iPod and not get away with it
I 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.

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.

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.
