To give this a little more perspective, one of our neighbors here in Seattle is a painter, and his trailer full of painting supplies was stolen. He estimated that the value of the trailer and supplies was $20-$30K. The police told him that they didn't have the bandwidth to pursue thefts of such low value.
Apparently, a man's tools for his livelihood aren't important, but we'd better come down hard on those people who steal a game. -----Original Message----- From: full-disclosure-boun...@lists.grok.org.uk [mailto:full-disclosure-boun...@lists.grok.org.uk] On Behalf Of Thor (Hammer of God) Sent: Friday, February 04, 2011 9:42 AM To: Paul Heinlein; Thor (Hammer of God) Cc: full-disclosure@lists.grok.org.uk Subject: Re: [Full-disclosure] Best Buy and Privacy? No, that didn't come up at the time, but I wondered the same thing. I've not heard of any rash of XBOX game thievery around, so my feeling is that it's practiced elsewhere, though I have no evidence of that. The thing is, stealing a $50 game in order to get $5 or so at Best Buy isn't exactly an equitable model for theft, so none of it really makes too much sense to me. t >-----Original Message----- >From: Paul Heinlein [mailto:heinl...@madboa.com] >Sent: Friday, February 04, 2011 8:33 AM >To: Thor (Hammer of God) >Cc: full-disclosure@lists.grok.org.uk >Subject: Re: [Full-disclosure] Best Buy and Privacy? > >On Fri, 4 Feb 2011, Thor (Hammer of God) wrote: > >> I found this interesting, so I thought I would share it [....] > >It is interesting.
