Should we slashdot this to recruit some more help (might get you more viewers too)? Could the geek group website handle the traffic?

[thegeekgroup]

@darobison42 We can take it, share it! :)

I contacted Apple, they should have got in contact with Chris earlier today.

[thegeekgroup]

@LightSwitchr They did indeed. I don't know who your friends are, but we had a most interesting phone call today thanks to you. :) Even Tim Cook is now well aware of this iPad hunt. In case anyone is wondering, he's a pretty nice guy.

I'm happy to hear the prograss you've been having, I'd really love to help in a more active way. Even told a couple of friends that work in net security.

How about this idea? When you find the guy, put his cell phone in the stomper.

@errold32 you've got the serial number, i doubt it be possible to find the mac that way, don't know how this works, but if this serial number is device specific, so should the mac be right? and everything goes in to a database, and there a few things we can do... Ask for it, say we got this serial, might we have the mac address? or do the not so honest thing ... but won't we become blackheads? but were helping so what are we then??

[errold32]

Get apple to tell you the factory mac address is the only way I can think of.

@robloxaddct HAVE YOU EVER HEARD CAPS LOCK COULD BE TURNED OFF?

[adrianmouse666]

Sad day i hope the culprit does the honest thing !

If all else fails, and if Kris uses facebook, we could hope that the thief also looged into fb from Kris's ipad, do a search for 'Facebook Keeps A History Of Everyone' and it should lead to a forbes page

"The report includes a list of the machines that L.B. has used Facebook from, how often she has signed in from the machine, as well as a list of all the other Facebookers who have logged in on that machine"

Only thing is, will fb release that info

[robloxaddct]

@siouxsettewerks Aw thanks for the kind words! After some of the consecutive comments, I thought that no one bothered to read it!

BTW, I'm kinda dry in terms of ideas, and I don't think that @ndyag100's idea would work the way he presented it. However, it you offered a 'free' upgrade for an beta iPad 3 as the prize...
