Apparently people like losing the new iPod. My roommate lost his iPod literally an hour after he bought it. He hadn't even opened the thing yet and it was gone. Lucky for him though, some lady returned it to the Apple store. It was hilarious, either he was so angry that he was gonna kill somebody or he was about to break down and cry for having thrown 300 bucks down the drain.

I am so incredibly pissed that I have been contemplating some crazy stuff. Such as:

apple loans

arson (id leave my backpack somewhere and light it on fire and say the ipod was in it.)

 

but I will not do either. i went to the office at school today and reported it (right after there as a long spech about ipod-stealing by the pincipal, which I hope means they found mine or something). I asked what they could do and they said they didn't know (my report will probably just sit in a filing cabinet). i wish they would do locker searches one day or some sort of other mechanism, like anonymous return of ipods to the office.

 

edit:

 

yes, I know this is not good to ask, but could anybody possibly loan me the money? I would pay back promptly. I am really desperate ATM.

Thievery pisses me of more than anything. People are more willing to take something from someone than work for it themselves. I don't tolerate that crap. I hope the person who stole your iPod gets run over by an 18-wheeler delivering iPods to your local apple store...

 

Grr.... I feel your frustration. I would sit back and think it over a little more. I wouldn't sell any rigs or anything. Just tell your dad someone stole it. It happens, and it's not always because you're irresponsible.

I think you should just tell your parents. What will they think when your shipping out one of your folding rigs? What happens if the Ipod turns up? I would drop the idea of arson all together. Relax for a little bit and you might see that idea is totally out of control. Im betting it was stolen in the locker room, not too long ago 3 ipods where stolen from my gym locker room.

i was already planning on posibly selling them. They are currently not folding due to lack of monitor necessary to install an OS.

 

edit: I think I will give it a few more days before giving up the idea that it will turn up totally. I think it may have fallen out when I was walking to meet a girl and i swung my backpack around to stuff my pants in (after gym). It must have slipped out. My headphones were still there.

i do not expect to see it again inless it was found by a good sameritan. I would really appreciate it if people would do my free ipods thing in my sig.

 

edit: I will also sell my ir webcam. It is a logitech quickcam pro 3000. It has holes in it to acommodate a switch, an IR led, and one for wres for a battery(or another LED). Make an offer. if it is high enough, I will add the switch and LED to make it a night vision camera.
