No need to make her feel any worse
I agree he was stupid for doing that. Could be a million dollar + mistake for him.

Just maybe, she needs to read something snide like that. Because she was seeming to defend him (which is natural), but his actions are indefensible and egregious. "Cheater.. always a cheater"...and so on. Kleptomania is real, and stealing a cheap video game is in that realm.

Who knows why he did. It's just very unfortunate for his family. How do you even go home and tell you wife something like that?

That's one if the things that pisses me off about Brown Cafe. People seem to get off on someone else's misery.

Human nature---not saying its right ---just that's the way it is.

With a security issue like that, I'm sure they were all over it.

I am guessing that UPS made the connection. I would imagine that Microsoft saw an unauthorized activation of their game. Tracked it and contacted UPS and gave them the name of the activator. UPS took it from there.

That is the way I would do it if I worked at Microsoft.

I have readily available cases of water to thank for ridding me of one extremely annoying/stupid/slobby driver. Not too bright to say the least.

Heard about this. What an idiot.

I had an Apple MacBook stolen off of a hotel luggage cart in Arizona years ago. Called Apple, and they told me there's nothing they could do. They said "We don't get involved in things of that nature" That was a long time ago. I wonder if the policy has changed since then?

This seems like something different altogether. A new item that needed to be activated. I was shocked Apple wouldn't even disable the computer. Basically told me I was SOL.

 

[barnyard]

Has not.
Apple and all the computer and phone makers, for that matter, could remotely lock down any stolen machine, once it is detected online. They won't. The reseller can sometimes help, but Apple will not.

Couple of years ago, an admin at a county office discovered that the mobile phone contract include once a year phone upgrades for all phones. She ordered enough phones for everyone once a year, those that did not exchange phones, she sold the extra phones on Ebay. Ended up being a pretty large number of phones. Apple would not do anything, Verizon ended up pressing charges.

Most of Kings (and those written as Richard Bachman) are available for free as e-books. He wrote so many. I think his early stuff was better.

Did the quality go downhill after the accident?

I don't know if the accident was a cause but it did slow him down.

Once he stopped doing cocaine his work went down hill.

Not usually one to dance on somebody's UPS grave, but this guy was a piece of work to put it mildly. Good riddance.

He has no job now is not likely a good time for a divorce,then again you know more about divorce then me.

I don't know anything about divorce either but I wonder ..... if "the style in which she became accustomed to living" plays a role. If she files now, that style has been established. If she files 3 years later , that style might have been downgraded, assuming he gets a job that is lower in pay than the one he screwed up.

That much being said , based on what the wife posted, she seems to love her husband and sees the good in him so I feel a little guilty about talking about divorce when she never brought it up.

We're just a bunch of internet hooligans. I don't feel bad about much said here. Take it or leave it.

Or some time in the slammer.
If that was to happen, better hope he doesn't get a roommate 6' 6" tall and 350 pounds who is lonely due to going many months without a roommate.
He might be eager to become REAL close friends with this guy as his new roommate.

Not the first UPS employee FT or PT to lose their job for doing something so completely stupid that you have to believe they did not want the job. Anybody remember Klien the Canadian driver who lost his job for stopping for a beer after work while he was still on the clock.
