Do you think he will ever buy an ipad for himself?
maybe steve will send him one...
I wouldn't be surprised if the Apple store or the mall itself paid for the replacement. That mall is a upscale mall with million dollar homes surrounding it. I used to go there all the time when Tower Records was there but I never felt safe in the parking garages.
This Apple store was close to me but I would always drive about 20 minutes further to the one in Littleton because the Apple store is outside with outside parking.

"...
Bill Jordan says he entered the popular Cherry Creek Mall in Denver to buy an iPad that his employer was to use as a business gift. After purchasing the iPad, Jordan was followed down a winding staircase on the way to his car. He was met at the bottom of the staircase by two thieves who began pulling Jordan's shopping bag from his hand.
The problem: the cords from the bag were wrapped tightly around Jordan's left little finger. The thieves pulled so hard that they tore off Jordan's skin and tendons. A doctor later recommended amputation.
The suspects are still at large, and police said they would likely release the surveillance video of the attack on Tuesday."

That's why I never grab those bags by the strings but where it bunches up after you tighten the strings. Makes the bag length smaller so less for a theif to grab and I can feel a tug better and be able to whip around and clock them in the face.

If I was the DA on this case, there would be no plea deal on any of the charges. If I was the Judge on this case, the maximum sentence allowable would be enforced on this.
Cops have collared that iPad finger-ripping criminal
I think I will wait for FED X to come!

Glad to hear it. Did they recover the finger?
Apparently the finger has gone on to bigger and better things at apples multi-touch department
This man's life was forever changed by this act of thievery and you make fun of it. Shame on you. Put yourself in his shoes and think before you post.
This is one thing that I hate about apple stores! In the uk they are in shopping centres and considering the value of their products I hate walking through the centres then in a lift to a dingy car park with their stuff!!
