Man Loses Pinky Over iPad 23

He was holding on to the bag so tightly that when the thief ripped the bag free he took the skin off the tip of his pinky finger.

Heard about this on the radio. Apparently he didn't even want it for himself, he was buying it for a friend in Canada.

You fucking piece of white trash, that article didn't even mention the race of the attacker or the attacked.
There are plenty of us "negroids" out there who make more money than a cousin humping piece of trailer park garbage like you does!

They would have the sn of the computer and you can report stolen serial numbers to apple, but unless the new owner attempts to register it, apple won't know where it is. Simply using the ipad, or even activating service on it, does not require the sn of the computer.
Though seeing as you can't buy an ipad without getting a contract, it could prove tricky, if at least not somewhat suspicious if someone comes into AT&T store and asks to activate service on it. "Where did you BUY this?" would have to be a
