You know how cars instantly lose value as soon as you drive them off the lot? Smartphones and tablet computers seem to gain value once they become used. As soon as you’ve got your photos and documents on that handy device, losing it becomes almost unthinkable. So if you do misplace it, or it gets stolen, you’re willing to pay serious money to get it back.
That’s what happened to a guy named Steve this week after he lost his iPad at or near the Starbucks on 86th Street and Columbus Avenue. He’s offering $250 in cash to the person who brings it back to him. In fact, he would be willing to shell out whatever it takes. “I’ll give more money if need be, don’t care about the cash, need the Ipad.”
