Why on Earth do you think Sony would do anything with this? If I sold a car and someone used it to rob a bank and the DMV still thought it was my car, I wouldn't call Ford about it.

Nice!

OMG, and you wonder why there are so many ID thefts. That's just epic fail.

Are you effing high? How the hell did you get a CC in the first place? It's not the vendor's responsibility to deal w/ fraudulent charges. It's the CC's job to reverse and deal with bogus charges. :|

oh the ironing

On the neighbor's part? Or on RightIsWrong's part for not first copying said photos first before taking the blackberry back to his neighbor, and thus denying him of his fiduciary responsibility to post said photos here for official ATOT review?

No need to apologize if Tash was man, or an ugly woman.

If not, BAN!
