  • It must have been made of solid gold

    I think I'll turn this one into a pop quiz and see who gets it first.

    I was taking a customer to the networking accessories, he was trying to figure out how to get internet to a computer. He had talked to Comcast who would come out and network his house wirelessly, and wanted to get a competing offer from us. During the course of the conversation we got into a technology called powerline ethernet, a powerful new way to network that uses a transformer box to transmit information along the power cables of a house. Expensive though. During a demonstration, I noticed that a $170 set was ripped open, however, the two transformer boxes were still inside.

    So, why don't you tell me what was stolen from the box?

    Was it

    A) The instruction manual
    B) The installation cd
    C) The ethernet cable
    D) Both A and B
    E) Both B and C
    F) All of the above
    G) None of the above

    EDIT: All entries are in, so I'll tell the answer here so people don't have to read each reply.

    Apparently the burning need for C: Ethernet Cable was so great that they broke into it, took it, and left everything else perfectly alone despite being able to get to everything relatively easily.

            I'll have to go with F, even though most likel A and B are legally available online for free.

            Oh, wait, they needed those to get on line.

              B) The installation cd

              Because of course that is all that you need to get it.

                  I'm guessing D. Everything they need BUT the actual item.

                      I'll take G because I'm guessing it was something really, extra stupid.

                      Like, on the front of my computer I have these stickers that say, "Intel Inside" and, "Fueled by Sapphire". Ripping open a graphics card box, per say, just to get the "Fueled by Sapphire" sticker is about the dumbest thing I can think of so I'm wondering if it was something similar?

                              I'm gonna go with C, because only a complete moron would break open a box with $170 worth of stuff inside and take the ethernet cable. A smart thief (if there is such a creature) would just take one off the shelf and not worry about being caught messing with the box.
