Man loses part of finger in Colo. iPad theft
Associated Press
DENVER — A man is missing his new iPad and part of his pinky finger after a robbery at a Denver shopping mall.
Fifty-nine-year-old Bill Jordan says he just purchased Apple's latest must-have item at Cherry Creek Mall on Thursday and was near the parking garage when a thief grabbed the bag tied around Jordan's hand.
He says the bag wouldn't come off and the thief yanked it so hard that it stripped part of Jordan's pinky down to the bone. Doctors later amputated part of the finger.
Jordan had purchased the tablet computer for a friend in Canada. Denver police were still searching for the culprit Tuesday.
Man, these iPads must be the shiznit. I can't remember any item raising a big enough stir to inspire pulling someone's finger off. I think someone may have gotten trampled over a Tickle Me Elmo but at least they got buried with both pinkies. In fact I think the culprits should have to be punished by working in a sweatshop making iPads.
