That's pretty cool.

On the other hand, I think he's doing it to help promote his site though (if it really were "just on principle" he probably wouldn't trash the reputation of a 16-year-old who already seems to have too much shit to deal with, and he wouldn't keep repeating that it's "just for principle").

I agree that is pretty cool.

I dunno, I would be fairly pissed off if someone found my cell phone and had made contact with me but refused to return it. As far as I'm concerned she deserves everything she is getting.

i feel the same way...i was one of the people following this story pretty closely, and there are a LOT of people who don't believe Evan, but there are also a few people that do...i, for one, believe him even though some of the stuff he posted sounded a little sketchy

Yeah, she does deserve whatever she's getting. If you steal someone's Sidekick from a taxi, you should face the consequences, and you deserve them. I didn't read all of the updates (because there were a shitload of them) but I hope she was caught.

I got up to Update #18 but now I'm hungry and I'm off to get some food, though I fully intend to read the rest of this story later. So far, I believe it.
