Xbox 360 repair helps capture console thief |
Listed in: Xbox 360 Tags: crime, Microsoft, xbox 360 titles
A broken Xbox 360 sucks. That's no secret, and there are thousands who can attest to the inconveniece and frustration. But for the case of our victim in this story, the fact that his Xbox 360 was once sent for repairs eventually led to the capture of his console's thief.
Dayton Beach, Florida, November 17th. The victim reported the theft of his Xbox 360 to the authorities, claiming that a Michael Dunbar was the one responsible. Police were able to follow the suspect's trail, where they wound up at a video game trade-in store that had photocopies of Dunbar's driver's license, fingerprint, and a receipt that says the Xbox 360 was sold for a measly US$ 36.
The victim, however, did not have the console's serial number, so he can't prove that the sold Xbox 360 was indeed his. Luckily, his grandma came to the rescue. Grandma, who originally purchased the console, was also the one who sent it to Microsoft for repairs. Microsoft was able to give her the serial number, serial number matches the one on the sold Xbox 360, presto! Dunbar is now facing charges.
Who would've thought that the Xbox 360 breaking down would come in handy?

Yours is the only comment that remotely looks like a fanboy comment. I mean you dont even seem to be able to see it which makes you the worst kind of fanboy because you believe the crap you talk.

Jasper solved the problem.
Seriously, if it weren't for the games, the gaming consoles without games they wouldn't be entertain-able.
Quit being fanboys for gods sake.

Hilarious, and stupid all at once, thank you for that, it was like reading a buster keaton sketch...
By that mindset, the Hiv/Aids vaccine should be thrown out, because the world "shouldn't have that problem in the first place..."
Do you think the 1982 Ford trucks are as good as the 2010's? whats that, the newer ones are better you say, and why is that? Hmm....research and development, trial and error, time and better tech coming along?

I really don't think I need to type anything else about your sorry prepubescent (and apparently incredibly egotistical) ass ever again. Because you just proved that absolutely everything I typed is true. Just google this childs name and you'll see exactly what I mean. The wittle boy always pweetends to be sooo gwwoon up,
Read up trolls, "TheRockness" will show you how it's done. He never has been the same since those goats bested him... Poor poor troll...
