After purchasing an iPad from a local Apple Store a Denver-area man was jumped by thieves who ripped off most of his pinky finger whilst yanking the bag away from him.
The man who was purchasing the iPad for a colleague admits to not even really understanding the fuss with Apple's new product. After paying for the device he headed down the Apple stairs. The strings of the Apple bag were wrapped around his hand as he walked out.
"I get down to the bottom. Next thing I know I'm spun around and I see this kid, his rear end is almost at the ground, he's pulling this out of my hand. I never heard it coming. I never saw it coming. I just remember seeing this kid pulling, and pulling, and pulling, and pulling until finally he got off it this and it caught on this and took the flesh right off, and tendons and everything. There was nothing here but bone"
Denver police do have the whole thing on surveillance tape and will be sharing the footage soon in hopes of catching the thieves.
