Faced with voicemail, home address, name and picture evidence...Phila Police don't want to act?

DUhh...I want da cash for da mAC!

So the owner of McFearsome had his house broken into in which he had his tv, macbook and xbox 360 stolen. He reported it to the local cops who really weren't interested. Then he found the local pawn shop to which someone tried to sell the macbook and got PICTURES of the kid (seen above). The cops told him to call during the workweek. Then he bought a new xbox 360 and found that someone left him a voicemail bragging that he had stolen his stuff and that he could pay to get it back. Because they used an xbox live account, he had all the kid's contact information AND a voicemail confessing to the crime. He called the Philadelphia cops again...and they hung up on him.

Here is the owner's website.
HERE is a much more interesting link to people from the blogosphere harassing the kid into pleading with the owner for them to stop.

Now that it is Monday and this being a slam dunk case, maybe the Philadelphia Police will make this a happy ending so that I will change the category of this post.

Update: Faced with the overwhelming majority of their work being done for them by the internet, Philadelphia Police have started to do their job. The kid who sent the voicemail has returned the Xbox.
