99.99% of empeg thefts will result in the player NEVER getting connected to the internet. I would bet serious money that almost all stolen empegs end up in a trash can.




Yeah, that's my guess as well, which only makes the whole thing that much more annoying. I'd almost prefer having someone who knew what the hell they had on their hands to steal it...

Reminds me of the time my Apple Newton was stolen. I can still picture it sitting in some trash can somewhere. *sigh*
