Here's Your Sign
So here's a funny story. A video game player went to a conference called SXSW and while he was away his house was burgularized. Among the items stolen was his Xbox. So he bought a new Xbox and signed into Microsoft's Xbox live service, which is very similar to MSN in that if your computer were stolen you could continue to use the same hotmail or MSN messenger account on your new system.
Lo' and behold the theif contacted our hero over Xbox and demanded a ransom for the return of the Xbox.
Well... that gave our hero a way of identifying the theif and he contacted the police. The police seemed disinterested so he posted the story on Digg. The Digg story brought about the full fury of the prepubescent internet's wrath and fury on the would be Xbox kidnapper with hilarious results.
