While most of our coverage here specifically concerns the intersection of blogging and politics, there is the occasional non-political blogging story that merits attention. In this case,
the story of Philadelphia's Jesse McPherson, who recently had his Xbox 360, TV and laptop stolen. Adding insult to injury, after purchasing a new Xbox, McPherson
received a threatening message through the Xbox server from the alleged thief demanding a ransom for the safe return of his stolen goods. After the authorities failed to offer the 26-year-old engineer much assistance, he submitted his case to the news aggregator
Digg:
Jesse was shocked to
find over 7000 users had launched the event to the top digg's main page. After
a barrage of threatening messages to the admitted thief's account from
random Xbox Live users and dialog with the brave thief's own mother
(His mommy got involved? Ultimate bad-ass!), Jesse's Xbox 360 console
was returned in working condition (the Powerbook was also returned on a
separate occasion).
