My Gamecube was stolen (the first one I Got at launch) and I somehow managed to not want to kill the idiot, even though I knew who it was. I was supposed to get paid restitution for $600 (cost of the Gamecube and other stuff that he stole) but because the guy was on drugs, he couldn't get a job, and was picked up and sent to a rehab clinic. This was 2 years ago, and I still haven't seen the $600, nor have I seen the guy, so Im guessing he's dead or in jail. I doubt you can stay in rehab for 2 years.
I feel a bit better about not going nuts and killing the guy now.
