A Dish Best Served Cold, part 2
Wow...it's definitely a week for "Internet justice." Though apparently there's been no justice in this particular situation yet:
http://www.evanwashere.com/StolenSidekick/
The brief summary: Narrator leaves their T-Mobile Sidekick (I'm guessing it's some combination of a phone and PDA) in a cab, someone else picks it up, refuses to give it back even when offered a reward, and starts threatening narrator's "white ass" for having the temerity to make the request. The Internet takes over, and now millions of people know what's going down.
Unfortunately, a couple of million Web hits and lots of publicity, online and off, haven't gotten the Sidekick returned yet. So it goes.
