My son learned a hard lesson today.
While he was at track practice, he put his backpack in an open locker room. He couldn''t get to his normal locker due to a basketball game in progress. Meanwhile someone rifled through his stuff and took his wallet (with $20-$30 and a free Blockbuster rental certificate) along with his new Ipod video. He got the wallet and Ipod for Chanukah. Luckily his cell phone was elsewhere, so that didn''t get stolen.
I talked to the track coach. He said it was the 3rd Ipod stolen this year. I was really suprised to see that this stuff happens, given the wealthy demographic of the student body. The coach said it was probably some bored kids. I wish they communicated the previous thefts to the parents, so we could have warned our kids to be especially careful. I think I have the email list for the track parents, so I will probably email them on my own. I am going to school tomorrow to file a police report. I am also going to report this to Mac, so if the unit is ever in for repair/replacement hopefully they will be caught.
The thing I wonder about is whether the parents of the theif would wonder how their kid got a new Ipod, without the box, software, etc. If my kids ever showed up with strange new expensive stuff, I would question them HARD about it. Then I would get my husband (attorney and who is very skilled at depositions) to do the cross.
