Don't piss off the internet

Quote:
On March 12 McPherson returned from SXSW to discover that his home had been broken into and that the burglar had made off with his Xbox 360, an old Powerbook and a television.

Familiar with the competence of the Philadelphia police, McPherson decided to hunt for the items himself and soon found that the burglar had tried to sell his laptop at a local pawn shop, which has images of the guy from their camera.

Fast forward to Friday when McPherson's workmates present him with a replacement Xbox 360. He goes home, hooks it up and discovers a voice message on his 360 from some guy saying he has his 360 and wants cash to give it back. Better still the idiot uses his current account to leave the message.

As everyone probably knows mob justice is a bitch and Digg Mob justice makes that look pretty. Since the story hit Digg the person who left the message asking for 360 ransom has been identified, his address and high school location posted, he's been harassed, seemingly endlessly, via AIM.

See what the internet dug up on the kid, Xboxmoron: Welcome to your new Wikidot site

Re: Don't piss off the internet

"from the files of stupid crimals"

that's akin to the guy who uses a guy's cell to call him, demand ransom for his wallet & cell, then proceed to leave his home phone# as a callback #.

It does, however, amaze me the length people will go to to take something that's not thiers and/or how HARD they'll work to not have to work.
