Some twerpy little maladjust actually came into my office yesterday and took my brand new Nokia 6288 off my desk. I turned the place upside-down all afternoon thinking I’d just misplaced it, but when I checked my un-billed calls online this morning, it seemed someone had been busy dialing “19xx” numbers and downloading songs. Luckily I had the SIM blocked fairly quickly just incase, and the handset itself is insured (provided they approve the claim), but I’m still going to be out $125 excess. They’ve dialed a few regular numbers as well, and I’ve half a mind to call them just to say “your friend is a dickhead”, but that’s not really likely to get my phone back, and if we’re being pragmatic about it, that friend does know where I work now.

On the bright side, they used my account to download a few songs, which they might otherwise have picked up from BitTorrent. So in my own way, I’m helping to fight piracy.

God I hate bogans.
