Kid Steals Xbox, Uses XBL to Contact Owner to Demand Payment, Brings Down the Wrath of Digg Users
Follow-up: XboxMoron: The Aftermath
Here is a case of, “check if the guy who you’re stealing a xbox from has a website”. A kid, who appears to be a really, really illiterate and redneck kid, stole a tv, mac powerbook and xbox from the author of this website. Understandably, the guy was pissed, and the first thing he does is check the local pawn store (which was pretty smart), and he gets images of the kid from the cameras in the store.



He calls the police department, and was ignored.
And then, you start realize how stoned and idiotic this kid really is. The kid then proceeds to send voice messages to the author, demanding that he pay to get his Xbox back. Of course, revealing his account name, and his account info in the process. All Xbox 360 owners would know, that in the process of registration, the account is linked with your msn email account, and if the intelligence of the kid is any indication, it is probably full of personal, and most importantly, identifiable information. All the police needs to do it contact Microsoft.
The author then calls the local authorities, who is the Philadelphia Police for him, and whilst waiting for a response gets 2 more messages from the thief. (more…)
