Ah ok. My initial thought was that there was no chance this story was real. It combined two totally opposite kinds of people in a way that didn't make any sense.

"According to a post on Stiles' MySpace page "I ran after him, but by the time I got my phone back there was a $30 charge for a trip" I think the problem here wasn't necessarily the Windows phone, but the fact that she still has a MySpace page.

"Officer Albie Esparza confirmed that a police report had been filed with the San Francisco Police Department, and was currently being stored on a floppy disk." ...yes, but what SIZE floppies? the 3 1/2 was a higher density than the 5 1/4.

I'm betting on an 8" disk for an old CP/M box.
