A story has just hit the digg homepage telling the story of Philip who had his $2000 Sony HDV Camcorder stolen, and who suspected a ‘friend’ called Amanda.
Philip kept an eye out on the web for his HDV Camcorder, and lo and behold it appeared on swapace.com five days later, and the person selling the camera had the same username as Amanda did on Myspace.
Philip contacted the police and as usual they couldn’t be bothered to go and get his camera, so he posted a nice video on YouTube asking people to politely call/text/IM Amanda to ask her to do the right thing and return the camera. Now that the story has hit Digg, I don’t think a lot of these calls are going to be polite, given that I don’t think that word is in the typical Digg user’s vocabulary.
