No your not, you just wanted to harp on his spelling

I think you mean "you're", not your.

You really need to improve your tact and social interaction skills. Leave it to his teachers to teach him how to spell and use correct grammar. I'm sure you knew this- but there is a difference between helping and just being a jerk. It's a shame this forum is full of so many jerks....

Miaow.

It is sort of sad, that this is usually the only method that works -- besides steal it back.

But, most of these people won't stop stealing until you start beaking their bones.

Breaking bones along with the message, you suck at stealing since I've caught you and will keep beating you down if you keep it up.

Of course some people are stupid enough to keep it up, even after being crippled. :rolleyes:


In 6th grade there was this little "gang" of three kids who lived in a appartment complex together and were always in each others company. I was friends (ish) with the "leader", and so when one of the other three broke into my locker and stole my old mp3 player, the "leader" kid kicked the sh*t out of him. Needless to say he never took my stuff again, although he did get expelled later that year for stealing CDs out of other kids lockers...sometimes it is necissary to use a bit of force.

Yes I put no instead of know because when I was writing the title, it started scrolling, so I thought maybe it was too long and it would show up as "I know who stole my ipod, but I don't...", so I got rid of as much as I could. I think this is ok since this is my first post on this site. And the "i" thing is a bad spelling habit. Of course I never started this thread to be criticized on my spelling anyway.

I don't think you were offended by my comment- I didn't mean it in any nasty way. I'm just concerned that you're not getting your message across very well by using rushed English.

I'm sorry you felt that way. Maybe it does seem a bit pedantic, but the original post is excruciating to read for someone who cares about the English language. A poor use of grammar and spelling reflects badly on the poster and reduces the impact of his/her statements.
 
Although your post was cute.. I'd take the loss, kid. Two years is a long time. The he said/she said stuff isn't cool unless you have actual proof. Besides, a lot of these people say it's probably no good anymore. More likely than not, we've all had things wrongfully taken.. that's life. I'm not saying you shouldn't feel the way you do, because it still sucks.. just don't end up in jail. :(

My school has an open lunch so i always go out to eat at wendy's or something. One day when all my friends were going to 7\11 for the 4th time that week i went to wendy's by myself. I put my ipod in my backpack just before i went in. then i (yes it was stupid) put my backpack at the table i was going to sit at and went to order my food. i get back and it and a ti-82 is gone. for 2 years i had no idea who took it, i thought it was some bum or something wanting dope money. then about a week ago one of my friends told me they think they herd someone brag to him that they stole my ipod.

A few ?'s 1) how should i approach asking him if he stole it...(should i call his mom?)
2) is there any way i can prove its mine since i still have the purchase papers from best buy(maybe a serial # or anything like that?)

One possibility is going to the next policestation and asking them what to do. I don't know if it will help, but no matter what the outcome is, you will learn something. Calling his mom might help. Depends on mom. I know of cases where people who were scammed on eBay got their money back, plus an apology, by calling mom. On the other hand, I know moms where you would have a fight on your hands, literally.
 
Warranty

The only reason I want to go though with this is beacause I still have a Best Buy warranty on it so if anything is broken I can bring it to Best Buy, but it's only a 3 year warranty so that's why I'd like to get it back now, before time runs out. And I will definatly have my mom call his mom. It's just I know this kid and he really seems to be the kind of kid who would do that, and he went to Wendy's everyday. IDK, I'll just have to give it a shot. Oh and to be more specific, I bought it Sept. or Nov. of 2004 and lost it Jan of 2005, so it not exactly been two years.

I'm sorry to hear about your iPod.

You really need to improve your spelling and grammar. I'm sure you knew this- but there's a difference between 'no' and its homonym 'know'. Also, capitalize your 'I's and learn the difference between 'it's'='it is' and the possessive 'its'.
I was thinking this, but you said it. Thanks.

Calling someone a jerk suggests that you need to improve on your tact and social interaction skills. I find it ironic, though. :p
