Sue-craze hits Best Buy.
Selfish, irresponsible, attention-whore, imature self-entitled respectable lady of the night sues Best Buy for $54 million dollars over lost Laptop: http://www.tomshardware.com/2008/02/...llion_lawsuit/
She says she knows she can't get the money. But this way she gets media attention, and thus a powerfull leverage to bargain with. Customer protection now needs protection from certain customers. This irresponsible suing should have legal consequences against the clown. Where are the tazing cops when we need them?

I think you guys missed the point.
I'd be pissed too if I'd been blown off by BestBuy for that long. Now the Naked Cowboy sueing M+M CANDY FOR $100,000,000.00 is a bit much. |

I think she's got a good point. Who knows what kind of software she has on her system. In this day and age of id theft, she could risk a ton of problems in the future. A simple search in her temp files could reveal credit card numbers, passwords, bank information and the like. Best Buy doesn't just hire anyone in their geek squad.

I see her point. She layed out $1400.00 for the computer. Downloaded some music that costs. That is now gone. The offer of $900.00 was a silly. They should offer her the $1100.00 a free 3 year warranty instead of paying the $300.00 and a $500.00 gift card. Lets face it, she has been without the darn thing since May!!!

For 54 million she must have had her only copy of SHIII (GWX) loaded on it. If that is the case I don't blame her.

This reminds me of the case with the judge and his missing pair of pants at the Asian cleaners.:rotfl: How many million did he want again? I think it was something like $65 million, yes?
