B&O shops looted

[HowMuchLonger]

Made me laugh to think of all those idiots with their brand new B&O tellies not being able to use them due to the pin code protection.

Even my old B&O speakers had pin protection. This meant that if they were disconnected from the mains for more than 5min (I think), you had to enter a pin code before they would work again.

That made me chuckle

Youf: Look at my new £15k telly
Youf's mate: Turn it on then
Youf: er......

Haha

I wondered how many of the various tellys etc actually mad it home without getting dropped, or otherwise damaged. I saw one kid on the news carrying out a 32" LG TV that probably cost all of £200...can't understand making themselves a criminal for so little. I also wonder if other rioters stole the tellies off each other, so the ones caught on camera may not even have made it home with them.

Hadn't realised about the B&O pin code though, so that'll serve them right.

I'm sure they will end up on ebay at some stage

Is that PIN codes like all mobile phones, car radios etc have which is why nobody ever steals them?

It might not stop them stealing, but it will stop them selling afterwards.

How many people actually pin lock their mobiles??

No, it will stop the TV being used. I am sure the yoofs will find some unsuspecting moron to buy the TV thinking they have got a good deal.
