Apple Knows Who Stole Your iPod
I had my ipod Touch 3G stolen about 2 months back. While I respect the opinion of the people on the side that Apple has no responsibility to find the general public's stolen property, I disagree that they have no responsibility to it. If they have the means, and the capability, then they should be doing whatever they can. It would take little effort on their part, and little money. My brother is a computer programmer, and I know that it would simply take a bot in the itunes database that checks the list of serial numbers of people purchasing from itunes against the list of serial numbers of people with reported stolen ipods. The bot would do all the work, the customers would reap all the benefits. It would be a good deal to all involved, as it would boost people's opinion of Apple. If it had been done, I might have stood a chance of recovering my ipod when it was practically stolen right from under me. It was dead, I had set it on the table next to me. I turned around for a minute to ask someone a question, I turned back around, and it was gone. There is nothing about that that makes it my fault. So the idea that someone's saying I don't DESERVE something I paid a lot of money for that was taken through no fault of my own is a little unsettling, and very angering. The fact of the matter is, Apple can do something, so they should. We can't, so we can't be blamed.— May 1, 2011 3:26 p.m.
