RadishTM Veteran Posted August 25, 2005 Veteran Share Posted August 25, 2005 One iPod thief has been caught red handed, and red faced, by staff at Apple retailer KRCS.Adrian Smith, manager at the Nottingham-based Apple reseller, had his iPod stolen from his car last weekend. Fortunately for Smith, the cable-less criminal walked into KRCS just days later, seeking cables for a "suspiciously familiar-looking iPod". Smith told Macworld: "I immediately recognized it. I told the bloke I?d have to try different cables, and when I plugged the iPod into the Macintosh it came up as 'Adrian?s iPod' straight away." A quick-thinking Smith told the 'customer' he?d have to check the iPod further, and while fellow staff-member Iain McKechnie kept the thief talking, Smith called the police, who recognized the description Adrian gave of the man and responded instantly. An arrest was made on the spot, with Nottingham city police congratulating Adrian on his instant recognition of his own property and prompt reactions.

Nexus- Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 what a moron you dont need to bring the ipod into the store to buy a cable for it. first thing you would do is format the device and rename it. of course that wont get around the serial number which apple could have somehow tracked...

Chad Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 How do you recognize your ipod from the millions of others out there? Unless it was marked somehow or engraved. I really doubt he knew he stole it from someone who worked at the Apple store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giga Veteran Posted August 25, 2005 Veteran Share Posted August 25, 2005 He could've just went to the about page on the iPod, instead of plugging it into the mac. Yes, i'm a smartass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
