This is probably the worst news we’ve heard all day. And, even if we know that the iPad itself may still be hard to find, this is definitely not the route someone should take. Ever. What do we mean? Well, for one Denver-based man, purchasing an iPad turned out to be a nightmarish experience. And one we’re certainly not going to forget for quite some time.

As the story goes, this man made his way down to the nearest Apple store, where he was lucky enough to find an iPad available for purchase. The bad part of this thing, other than the end result, was the fact that this man wasn’t buying an iPad for himself, but for a colleague. After he got the iPad, he strung the strings around his fingers, and made his way out of the store.

There, on his way back, were two thugs waiting for him. They accosted him, and pulled the bag (and iPad) away from the man. As they did, they managed to pull the skin away from the man’s finger. The two men then fled the scene. The Denver police are currently looking for the two suspects based on security camera footage, and we’re hoping the two of them care caught soon.

  1. Wow that sucks. This really freaky guy on the plane was giving me the eye...not sure if I fear more for my life, iPad or both.
  2. Wow...
    That's not cool
  3. This is ridiculous. Lose your pinky for an iPad. I hope that they catch these guys and give them 10 years.
