The iPad is all about touch and fingers, fingers fingers. But when talking about Apple’s marvel-machine, you don’t expect to hear this description of a digit: “I saw just a bone, all the skin and tendons and everything were off.” Those are the words of Bill Jordan of Denver, Colorado, after he was the victim of a particularly nasty theft.
Jordan had just left the Apple store with a new iPad, bought for a colleague in Canada. The bag containing the iPad was tied around his hand. Looking back at security footage, you can see two men move in behind him as soon as he leaves the store. One of them grabbed the bag and tried to yank it from Jordan’s grasp.
“He was almost sitting on the ground he was pulling so hard and it was still tied around my fingers; and it wouldn’t come off and then finally he gave it one big jerk; and that’s when he stripped the skin off my pinky and it went right down to the bone,” Jordan told CBS News. Part of his finger will have to be amputated.
The cops have footage and photos of the perps, and Jordan is understandably angry with them. In his final statement, though, he seems to have been soured on the innocent iPad, too. “I hope you understand what you’ve done to my life and my family’s life for a simple piece of apparatus that’ll be junk in a couple of years,” he said.
