iPad Thieves Rip Off Part of Man’s Finger

Gruesome story in Denver:

Jordan left the store with his iPad bag tied around his hand. Unreleased surveillance film shows two young men following him.

A few feet from the doors to the parking garage Jordan felt a violent tugging at his arm. He looked down and saw a young man trying to grab his bag. “He was almost sitting on the ground he was pulling so hard and it was still tied around my fingers; and it wouldn’t come off and then finally he gave it one big jerk; and that’s when he stripped the skin off my pinky and it went right down to the bone.”

Nick Denton has obtained the finger for $10,000.
