Fucking thieves; we should bring back caning...

So, my wife's iPod and about US$150 were stolen this morning from her office at school (won't say which school, since it's not worth "not personal army" nonsense). Just wanted to vent to the internet.

I wish that thieves who found themselves caught, dead-to-rights, were still penalized by the removal of their dominant hand. People wouldn't commit such bullshit robberies if that were the penalty (or at least not SMART people). I suppose I can tolerate smart criminals (like banks), but the organ banks will be along soon enough (I hope) that I probably won't have to tolerate them for long.

I think the thing that irks me most right now is that my wife didn't do as I asked and set up the "find my iphone" stuff on her device (nor did she set up an iCloud account - and won't because she's depressed about it at the moment). That, and the fact that Apple could recover stolen devices FOR you... the ruttin' serial is in iTunes - if I tick "someone stole my shit," they should be able to ping LEOs near the ISP that logs its presence. They won't though, because they're more interested in selling you a replacement than helping you find the one some asshole boosted.

So, now I have to do it for her. Ugh. The life of an admin...

Anyway - rant over, I guess. Gonna go play some Dwarf Fortress... take my mind off of reven... uh, I mean... justice. Fucking thieves. Miserable wastes of fucking skin.
