The perfect punishment for this guy: GIVE HIME A ZUNE IN EXCHANGE!!!

330 iPhones falls well within felony theft range.
If he has a previous record, he is looking at a few years shacking up with some very lonely male companionship.

Suggested playlist for his zune while in prison:
Welcome to the jungle-Guns N' Roses
I fought the law-The Clash or Bobby Fuller Four
Been Caught stealing-Jane's Addiction
Renegade-Styx
Love is all around-Generation Love
Love Hurts-Nazareth

I agree about the Zune thing.

A 30-year prison term is like 10,950 days in jail.

I say they should give him 109 Zunes, and for every one that he sells he can knock 100 days off his sentence. The stipulations are that he must sell them at the going retail price and has one month to do it (and no sales can be made to the mentally challenged, either).

That ought to result in a pretty long prison term. He'll be taking in the zuen quite a lot, methinks.

That last line should have read: Taking it in the Zune.

Boy, I suck at typing today.

add Blondie - "One Way Or Another"

Love Hurts! That was hilarious. Honestly the funniest comment on here in a long time.

Zunes in prison? Sounds like the only place where squirting might work.

He must return the iPhones + double what they're worth.

More songs:
Strange Love-Depeche Mode
Bump and Grind-Keith Sweat
The Woman in Me-Shania Twain

Of course the last maybe should be the man in.....

Give each of them 330 Zunes and require them to sell them for MSRP before they can get out of jail.

I think GameStop has a few laying around . . . .

This young man just ruined his life.

Songs for you guys:

I'm an Asshole
Zero the Hero
Secret Loser

I like that it was referred to as a "computer phone". Finally.

What part of "Don't do the crime if you can't do the time" don't you understand?

They screwed up for, potentially, big money. They deserve the ridicule.

I would think the theme song from 'Haft' would be most appropriate here.

That would have been 'Shaft' if I knew how to type.

The two men planned on reselling the phones to a single buyer for a $138,600 profit.

And let me guess, the single buyer was a undercover cop or FBI agent?

Of course they were each put into seperate rooms and told the other culprit already snitched so they may as well come clean, right?

A little "good cop, bad cop" routine involving telephone books smacked into the head I assume...

Take the plea bargain fools...your already finished. Claim a "lack of judgement" and nothing like this will ever occur again.

Make sure you learn from the pro's in prison how to get away with stealing from a employer the right way.

@Losers:
Yes I agree-a MAN ruined his life.
A man-as in someone who should have known better, should have known what he was doing was illegal, should have known he could get caught and have to pay for his crime.

They got greedy, decided to be lazy and make money the wrong way. They need to pay for their crime and accept what they get-including ridicule.

What they don't need is someone making excuses for them, mitigating their crime and stupidity by patting them on the head and telling them it's all going to be fine-like you do a child.

Imagine if they got caught stealing ZUNES!

It's like doing time for stealing five bucks!

Better to do the time for being caught stealing FIVE BILLION.

You macheads are just lame.

Wait a couple of years and you will see how the Zune takes over all this ipod marketshare.

My five shares of MSFT says "Nyah nyah nyah" to your AAPL!!!

Right now Ballmer is negotiating with these two guys to steal a bunch of Zunes so they can up their sales (cough, cough - shipped) numbers.

@MSFT Rocks,
Man, you gotta hook me up with your dealer because you must be smoking some really wicked $h!t!

"$138,600 profit"... would that be before or after tax?

"My five shares of MSFT says . . . $141.25 and dropping.

Five shares of AAPL says $902.80 and rising.


Good choice.
