Best Buy Loses Laptop

I forgot all about the issue of identity theft when you lose your laptop. Also is the geek squad that busy that it takes 2 to 6 weeks to fix a laptop? Anyway hopefully this will make them change there ways.

Interesting read, it's good that she doesn't actually expect to win 54 million dollars. More power to her. Give her 5 grand and she'll be happy.

Yeah I got a good laugh from them trying to give her a 900 dollar gift card when she spent 1100 in the first place.

That's the power of big business versus the little guy (or girl), especially in the U.S.

The only way to get them to ever do the right thing is to sic a lawyer or two on their butts.

Yeah, I contacted a lawyer when my SSN was "lost" by a firm and they said you actually have to prove damages before you can sue. I wanted to sue to make them pay for 7 years of credit monitoring.

"just goes to show how sue-happy everyone is in the U.S. Sad, sad times."

Nope, just shows how business have gotten to the point of ignoring anything that isn't a lawsuit...now THAT's sad times.

Well if anyone thought about using the geek squad let that be a lesson to them for sure. Personally If I were the judge in that case I wouldnt award any amount of money to the plaintiff, I would tell them LESSON LEARNED.
