nervouschimp Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Summary: My wife's stolen iPhone was taken in to the apple store on a day my friend was working there, and handed to her.

FrankOS_Scripting Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Your story is unbelievable.. and very frustrated but Apple are hidden beyond our words. They make {censored} for anything. And the worst, they sent you your infos instead of the burglar infos stupid dudes...

dopeyo Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 you'd think that apple would want to be known as the company that gets customers' phones back to them..... 'was your expensive iphone stolen? we at apple will do everything we can to get it back into your hands. blah blah blah.' that's an ad that would pique my interest in buying apple's products. instead, now the ad reads: "Did you pay out the wazoo for our hip, sleek and sexy iphone? Was it stolen in a robbery/ purse snatching? Tough luck. We're apple. We don't care. We don't have to."

FrankOS_Scripting Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 In the head of the burglar, first I started the telephone at home and I bet 100$ he saw your wedding picture. And stupid he his, he said to himself "That's not very important, I leave that" but he met your friend at the Apple Store. Better chance next time?

nervouschimp Posted July 25, 2008 Author Share Posted July 25, 2008 I'm actually amazed by all the fanboy pricks over at macrumors. They seem like the kind smug apple worshippers that make all mac users look bad. If I was going to write fiction it would be way better than what actually happened.

Maleficus Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 That blows. Hard. When my iPhone arrives I'll be handcuffing it to myself and possibly start carrying pepper spray. It's a good thing the only real burglary problem where I live was with my cousin . I hope you end up finding it again.

Why didn't she call the police? I know _NOBODY_ who'd be as stupid. That is to say: I really am no Apple fanboy, I do not doubt that Apple could handle giving away personal details that restrictive, I just don't quite buy your story.

Apple simply did not want to get involved in this case...no company does. The minute the employee gives the information to the police, the Apple legal team is on call to testify in court...they didn't want to go through that. Most likely, it was not the decision of the employee not to give the info, but the general manager instructing the employee not to, or the general manager dealing with it him/herself.
