Dear Die-ary...

A new internet phenomenon is amongst us.

While surfing Youthink, there was a particular link there which interested me. It interested me so much, that I decided to write a blog post about it. This is the post, and THIS is the link. If you can't be bothered to view it, I'll tell you about it anyway. OK, let's put it simple. So, this girl loses her phone. People usually return the phones, but not in this case. This evil... B1TCH keeps the phone for herself. And they want it back. Boy, how they want it back. From the website:

"When my friend realized that she had left the Sidekick in the taxi she asked me to immediately send a message to the phone saying that we would give a reward for the phone. There was no response. After a day of waiting, she had to go to the store and spend over $300 on a new Sidekick. When she put her SIM card in, she saw that the person(s) that had taken the phone had not only signed on to AOL leaving their name and password in the phone, but they had taken pictures of themselves."

So, they knew the basic things about the thief. They knew her email address, and they had her picture. However, she still would not give it up. And to this day they're still trying to get that phone back.

I personally are kinda p1ssed off about the thief, especially as they won't give up something that costs so much. I know what it's like to lose something... (#insert reference to lost badge here#) However, I did not know who stole it, and these guys do. Sure, the phone can be replaced, but it's rather humiliating knowing who stole something of yours. So, yeah, pass on the message to other people, and let's see if we can get this person's phone back!!

I think that it's somewhat 'heroic' that these people are making a huge fuss about a stolen phone. Well, really, wouldn't you? Of COURSE you'd make a fuss about something that you either lost or got stolen from you. Without knowing, you'd complain to your friends about it, or if you have a blog, you'd b1tch about it for hours if you had the chance. There are quite a few people out there who dislike the website and the call of help from these people, but give 'em a break. I'm all for helping these people get the phone back. My helping is telling other people about the website so the stolen phone can be given to the rightful owners.

So, if you see someone who looks like this and is using a Sidekick...

...Don't forget to pass on the good word to her.

Or punch her in the face.
