Apple Knows Who Stole Your iPod
SoulShadow, you are an awesome individual for that last sentence. What it comes down to is this: Apple could flag serial numbers for their products as stolen. If the stolen iPod comes into the store then they take it. This could cause a security problem (which costs money). Also, stolen iPods are USED. And if the person that loses the iPod/ has it stolen can afford to replace it, the are REPLACED. Thereby generating a second purchase (money) and further purchases of songs by TWO people - effectively doubling iTunes revenue. long story short: MONEY. Also, Tiffany's has serial numbers on their products. If the product is brought back to the store and was marked stolen, they take it from the individual. Also, I haven't verified this, but I had a friend that actually had three items returned from pawn shops to him. He said a tiffany rep found them there and checked the serial numbers and saw they were flagged as stolen. I would think this is a HUGE reason to buy from Tiffanys. I do think some people are to blame and ignorant... but it doesn't change the fact that the other party is immoral and stealing a product/ not returning it. I have half a mind not to purchase an iPod because it generates this type of issue: it's a desireable product that generates theft, and is promoted by apples policy.— October 7, 2009 7:30 a.m.
