I know stock of the iPhone is often artificially kept low but doing this just to get one is a bit silly.
😛
Police are cracking down on the criminal pricing?
Someone called shenanigans.
“Hey Farva, what’s the name of that restaurant you like with all the goofy shit on the wall and the mozzarella sticks?”
I received no such call.
And the cops just arrived with their brooms.
Would be nice, but it has to be illegal first.
Criminal to us, but not to the law.
Someone lost a dongle
If only it were an ATO raid instead.
