The Story and Updates of a Stolen Sidekick
So the story goes that two friends were riding in a cab. One left her T-mobile Sidekick II in the taxi. The other guy friend text messaged her phone, saying that there would be a reward for the return of the phone. There was no reply, so after a day of waiting, she bought a new Sidekick, only to find that the person that took the phone had logged into AOL which allowed access to both their user name and password. AND they had taken pictures of themselves!
So the friend, the owner of the website above, contacted the AOL user and asked for the phone back. The girl who had the phone immediately refused, saying that they weren’s so stupid as to return a phone, and then sent threats from her and her boyfriend.
He was rightfully upset with this response. So now, he has turned the power of the internet against these thieves. Needless to say, these individuals have been getting all kinds of communications through their MySpace accounts and other contacts.
Read the whole story. It’s not resolved as of yet, but it is pretty amusing.
