Five men arrested in connection to the 7,000 stolen D-Link routers

zekrahminator · Oct 16, 2006

A lorry containing over 7,000 wireless router kits, worth in excess of £350,000, was stolen from a Kent trading estate last month. The lorry was later found in London, sans routers. The routers have been floating around the internet for some time, at a reduced price of around £11 from a standard £50. D-Link has promised standard tech support to anyone who bought a stolen router. The routers model number is DWL-922/E and the UPC number - displayed next to the barcode - is 790069285479. The routers have a two pin power plug, and are pictured below. Readers with information on the theft should contact DC Elspass-Collins on 01622 604258.

Nice of them to offer tech support even to stolen goods.

Thats bizzarre!!!! Because they don't offer tech support to real customers!!! (Or at least, not any support worth commenting on)

All my news sources are though

(and last time I checked a lorry was a legitimate definition of "large truck").

LOL!

Finally, now I KNOW what the Pink Floyd tune that has a line of "And the lorries go rolling by" (child's voice iirc says it) means...

* Funniest part for me, personally, is that 2 of my ex-g/f's are named "Lori" & they BOTH got really fat over time!

(A shame, especially on 1 of 'em, she was "HOT" before that)...

Thus, hehe, their names TRULY "fit them" (albeit, probably lol, just barely if the 'volume increase' stayed linear - Shame, but nowadays, both "Lorries" look like trucks now - they are both like 2 of each of them nowadays, vs. how they used to look!)

APK

P.S.=> Anyhow, that's my 'take' on that term & what it made me remember/think about again... now that I know what the term means in Englishmen's ENGLISH (the oem)... apk
