About Me

My name is Jason Cook, I am a English/journalism grad with a rabid interest in gaming and game writing. I have some reviews on Popmatters.com and would love to work for a gaming site/magazine someday soon.

I grew up on the NES, quickly advancing to Genesis, SNES, PS1, Dreamcast (RIP, brother), Xbox, PS2 and now 360 and Wii. Some favorite genres include RPGs (huge FF geek), Action and Shooters.

I also love music, sports (run-of-the-mill rabid Boston sports fan), reading and am getting into graphic novels and comics.

Currently playing:
SMT: Strange Journey

Ongoing list of games I need to buy/play:
Silent Hill
Viewtiful Joe
Okami
Fatal Frame series

Help out a fellow Dtoider by catching a criminal (shortblog)
Count Grishnack \| 7:27 PM on 03.24.2010	37 comments

Hey. I am going to be brief here as time is of the essence. But my 360/Wii were stolen. The fool has signed into XBL and is on right now. He changed my gamertag from Count Gr1shnack (I may be on some Dtoider lists from some FNFs) to Killa Eyes vF 7.

I don't know what ya'll can do, but I figure it can't hurt to have more feelers out there.

Thanks.

I know the cops don't normally give a shit, but if more than those two things were stolen, it could be a big deal to them.

Have you tried calling Microsoft and asking if they can track the IP? Or the cops, and telling them this? I know it's been done before.

Occams electric toothbrush

Magnalon is right. Try calling Microsoft or your internet service provider and ask them what they can do, if anything. Good luck.

Chris Carter

Ooo good call on the ISP.

Mr Kite

Sorry bro don't know what I can do but I hope you get the prick.

SirKerrald

pwn this n00b.

Chris Carter

I'll ask around - fap this shit and spread the word - no one fucks with a community member!

Andrew Kauz

Unfortunately Microsoft support people were a bunch of pricks when my repaired 360 got stolen (I'm almost certain) by the UPS guy, so other avenues will probably be more successful. But give everything a shot, because there has to be something that can be done.

I've also heard of someone who was able to turn on his stolen xbox in the same apartment complex because the thief left a controller. Probably not the most likely way to get justice, but you never know.

Chris Carter

One case is here

http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/bronx/xbox_thief_is_xbusted_aCZZCVX9AERyYYstD4m5oN (thanks Falcon Reaper), but as I said above, the only reason the cops even tried was because he was wanted for 13 other crimes.

Chris Carter

Oops - I meant (thanks Rhyno5987).

Om Nom On Souls

best of luck getting your stuff back, man. Maybe you can get someone from the community to like question the guy r something. If it turns out to be in Toronto, Ontario, I would be happy to hadouken the guys ass

TheCleaningGuy

I've got no 360, but Fapped. Good luck getting this asshole.

SimonSaysDie

As TheCleaningGuy said. This guy deserves the righteous cock-slap of justice.

JT Murphy

Fapped as well. How's the search going? Can we get an update?

Sean Carey

My 360/PS3/PSP were stolen last summer and it's a shitty situation to be in. Outside of the loss of hardware, the sense of violation is tough to deal with. My heart goes out to you man; I hope they catch the thief.

pedrovay2003

...Wow, this guy doesn't sound too bright if he's doing that with the Gamertag.

I second, third, and fourth calling Microsoft and the ISP. Even if their customer service is horrible, this should be a special case.

Tubatic

That's a really messed up situation man. I hope someone can help you catch this ass.

Also, I dunno what you credit card setup was with your 360, but don't forget to safeguard yourself against that sort of bullshit. You should be able to clear the CC by longing into Xbox.com for yourself. You could also change your password, I reckon, though I don't know how far/long keeping him at watching distance is going to benefit you or law enforcement.

Lil Jorsche

I hope the thief plays MW2. I'm going to friend request him. Constantly join his games, and make sure he has a miserable time.

blackdeath1347

This is not acceptable! Hope the thief is caught and skinned alive. Well maybe not that extreme, but I'll try to help in any way I can. Best of luck to you.

CelicaCrazed

Good luck getting it back! At the very least we can start a spamming campaign to their mailbox.

Aaron Mxy Yost

Really sorry to hear that, good luck!

Corican

Sorry for your loss dude, hope you can get it sorted.

Atlas

Everyone should message him and tell him his ass is going to be kicked.

youkilledmyguy

Something needs to be done. This should be front page stuff.

Naim Master

I'm so going to PM him bad names.

Takeshi

I feel for you. Hope that cuntmuscle gets busted.

Count Grishnack

So update: He logged on last night and deleted my friend list. Luckily, the e-mail is still attached to my account, so I am able to monitor him on Xbox.com.

He spent 800 MS points to change my gamertag and put in MW2. Apparently, you can have the police subpoena MSoft for the IP address, but as everyone already mentioned, customer service is not exactly easy to go through. Also, my XBL account runs out in a day or so, so I may have to ask them to extend it to keep watch on this dude.

I really appreciate all the support and will probably whip up a full-length post detailing the story because it's kind of insane.

Thanks again, you awesome community.

zombiekiller13

Hope it works out. And here's a wacky idea that might not go anywhere...but doesn't hurt to try...hit up Major Nelson on his Twitter account (http://twitter.com/majornelson). Maybe some strings can be pulled to get Microsoft to provide you with the IP info...or at the very least, he can point you to someone who can do some string-pulling.

Tubatic

second on pinging Major Nelson. He might get this sort of tweet once a week, but its totally your turn to be that guy.

Amnesiac

Best of luck getting your stuff back. If I had a 360 I would troll the shit out the guy.

Count Grishnack

Update: full story here. May hide this one in a little while.

D Sane

Man, I had this same thing happen to me back in October. The bastards stole my HDTV, my room mate's 360, another TV and a laptop. I reported it to the cops and they sent a guy out to look the house over, but he didn't give a shit really. I thought I was covered by my room mate's insurance, but I wasn't so I've been out a TV since then. We also tried checking pawn shops to see if any of the stuff turned up but the pawn shop owners were assholes too. Though in your case if the guy is playing the systems then it might be a little easier to track down.

wanderingpixel

Damn. I'll see what I can do.

wanderingpixel

Somebody should set up a "Help Count Grishnack get a new 360 and Wii" fund. I'd do it, but I'm not that organized, and would probably screw it up somehow.

Healerdoc

I know how you feel, sorry I can't help you in anyway possible but here's knowing that you might catch this lowlife.

BS3 Owner

You know it's something serious when...
"YouKilledMyGuy" shows up in the comments section.

Aziel13

hope microsoft and the Po can help you get your system back

Stella Wong

:( sorry to hear that did someone break into your place and stole them while you weren't around? It's never fun to have this sort of crap happen.
