Thief steals iPad, rips off victim's pinkie

[Mave]

Bill Jordan, a 59-year-old from Aurora, Colo., was surely not one of them. Yet, he and Apple's latest creation crossed ill-starred paths with the result that he has lost part of a finger.

KDVR-TV Denver went to interview Jordan at his house to learn just how it was that a thief stole an iPad from him and ripped away the top half of his left pinkie.

Jordan had wandered into the Apple store in the Cherry Creek Mall in Denver in order to buy an iPad. He wasn't even buying it to take home and indulge himself. He had been asked by one of his colleagues in Canada to pick up an iPad for someone who had enjoyed a promotion.

"I didn't even know what it was. It's a toy," Jordan told KDVR.

Surveillance film reportedly showed that the minute he left the Apple store, Jordan was followed by two young men. He had the Apple bag tied around his wrist and, just before he entered the parking garage, he felt someone violently tugging on his arm.

Yeah my mom told me about this, Goddamn that's brutal. If they're still friends after the guy lost his finger, then wow they are really good friends.

Yeah I hate brutality like this too, makes me a bit angry when I read stuff like this.

Imagine this: on way to school, you slip and fall. You start hating the school because you fell due to your own mistake on the way to school. Basically the same situation. Now shut up.

No need to tell him to shut up

K uh why did you say that? All I said is that they must be very good friends.
Why do you hate me all of a sudden?

 

[Andre]

Why would they not be friends anymore if one's friend was ripped of by a thief? This could of have happened theoretically while carrying a groceries bag which doesn't have anything for the friend in it.

I might be a little pissed off if my friend asked me to pick something expensive up for him at the store and then I lost a finger because of it.

This.


Also, you missed the last part of the report. :\

The rest is just plain nasty. The thief kept on pulling until he "took the tendons right off and the flesh and everything." All that remained of part of Jordan's left pinkie was bone (and Jordan is reportedly a leftie). A doctor subsequently told him part of the finger would have to be amputated.

Sadly, we have heard these kinds of stories told about iPhones, Air Jordans, and many other objects of supposed desire. The robbers, who remain at large, won't be interested in Jordan's message to them. Jordan told CBS4 in Denver: "I hope you understand what you've done to my life and my family's life for a simple piece of apparatus that'll be junk in a couple of years."

Still, someone somewhere must know the nasty little ingrates who attacked Jordan for the iPad. One can only hope they are found soon and treated with appropriate sensitivity.
