How Not to Steal a Sidekick 424
timmit was one of many readers to point out the story of a stolen Sidekick, writing with this excerpt from the site: ""When my friend realized that she had left the Sidekick in the taxi she asked me to immediately send a message to the phone saying that we would give a reward for the phone. There was no response. After a day of waiting, she had to go to the store and spend over $300 on a new Sidekick. When she put her SIM card in, she saw that the person(s) that had taken the phone had not only signed on to AOL leaving their name and password in the phone, but they had taken pictures of themselves." I can sympathize, after someone with the address Rmluckyguy@aol.com tried to sell me back the Visor Deluxe stolen from my car last year in Philadelphia. I hope Evan has better luck.
And the reason she didn't just cancel her service? (Score:1, Funny)

This all came to an end with their last victim who they "shot" in full view of a police cruiser (which you actually see on the tape)
Man my jaw dropped. I was astounded at their level of stupidity.
Mind you the Dumb and Dumber bank robbers [thedenverchannel.com] in Denver made me laugh my ass off as well. Although not in this article, I do remember that they were caught with pictures of themselves in "gansta" poses hlding their "loot"

2. Create a story about how they are ethically challenged.
3. Crow about how you had to buy another one and these people are bad.
4. Reluctantly put up a Paypal account to collect money for "incurred costs".
5. wait for the naive techno fans to queue up to "help the cause".
6. Profit!!!
Assuming 2000 people give her $1 and 6 other people involved, now everybody has free sidekicks!
Hey, that's better than most mid 90's internet startups!

Uh... so you're not sure if the stuff people are sending you is legal, but you're posting it anyway [reference.com]?
That's definitely not legal in the US, and even in Sweden it could cause you a lot of trouble. Just ask these guys [slashdot.org].
Some people just don't know when to quit while they're ahead.
