    Hey. You guys all know how pissed I get. But never this bad. Some stupid sonofabitch stole my iPod I saved a ton of money on and as you know spent ALOT of money on Apps. They took it from my football locker cause I forgot the lock. Is there anyway I can get a replacement or something? Wtf do I do? I have no money cause I spent it on this. But I can assure you if I find who did it, Im not getting it back, Im prying it from his dead ****ing hands.

    Same thing happened to me with my 2nd iPod. First, it disappeared, along with the Sennheiser earphones I loved at first listen. Thought I knew who didn't, but wasn't sure, and obviously, had no proof. The following year (this year), I saw the kid with the same damn earphones that got stolen. Nobody in my school uses earphones. Not even me, anymore! So f-cking pissed...

    If you don't have any remnants of an iPhone, not even an insurance plan'll help you out. Sucks, I know.

    Might want to update your sig saying you're not playing anything right now. Heh, sorry mate I couldn't resist.

    Unless you got contents insurance for your locker, you're all outta luck. Next time, don't forget the lock.

    Edit: Hehe, I see you just did.

    Look on the bright side, by the time the update for Minigore finally releases, you should have been able to save enough for a new one. At the rate it's taking for Apple to approve App Store releases, pretty soon a 2 month wait will be the standard.

    Edit 2: And hey, you should be able to upgrade straight to the upcoming third gen Touch.

    Vinny, this reminds me of the time my friends shoe's were stolen from his locker during football.

    When one of our teammates came to school with the same shoes on, let's say that the 'Rush the Bull' drill (ring around one person, person in the middle fights for their life as a ton of people drill them from all directions) wasn't real pretty for that particular person. In fact, me and my friend crack backed that fool and he ended up breaking his hand.

    Let's just say we got the shoes back after practice.

    Keep proof that the iPod's yours (a receipt or something with the serial number) on you at all times. If you find him and can confirm for sure that it's yours, try to sneak it away. I mean, as much as I'd want to cream the guy, you don't want trouble with the cops. If you do (nearly) kill him, your info'll back you up. You still probably'll get in trouble. But you'll have a decent excuse.

    That's a better idea.

    Just keep you'r iPod's original packaging or if you have the Apple Care Plan, print out the page with your serial number on it and keep it in your backpack or locker. If you see someone with an iPod that you know, ask them if you can see it, if they don't let you for a mysterious reason, chances are it's yours.

    Did you have MobileMe connected to your iPod and did you have 3.0 software + bluetooth on? If so, you can track your iPod using mobileme.com

    Original iPod packaging?

    Does iTunes keep a list of registered devices?

    You could always just bring a gun to school. It always seems to work out well.


    Whine to Apple and see if they'll replace it.

    Ok I found an email I sent to someone about beta testing and I have my UDID in there. So can that help?

    How about an identifiable scratch or mark on it? You could report that iPod was stolen to some teacher or principle at your school and that you know where some of the identifiable marks on it are. Then if you see somebody that has your iPod, bring it to the aforementioned person and show them who stole it and where you found it. If the other person is foolish enough to still claim it as theirs, ask the teacher to ask THEM to provide a receipt or form of ownership.

    Saw him with my headphones. Not sure if the iPod was on him or not, but if he took my Sennheisers, he must've taken the Touch. And I couldn't anyways. The kid's black. If I did anything, I'd be labeled racist and kicked out of the school.

    Well if you have the serial number or UDID of the device you could always take it and run, hope you're faster than him and report it to the school police or whatever you guys have.

    Chances are you're not faster than him, and before you take three steps you'll be jumped by 300 people.

    Let's just say my parents would be extremely pissed if I were to get kicked out of this one.

    Everyone hate him, so I'd probably be cheered on. But no, don't have a UDID or serial number of it. Just my first iPod. Probably could grab it, though. Gotta figure out which duffel bag is his.
