Generally speaking, I get the feeling I should stick to something that isn’t worth enough for felony theft charges to apply, so no RTX 4090 or 4080. The 4070 Ti isn’t at all a bad deal for $0.00, so I suppose that’s the one.
I’ve heard conflicting reports on how likely Amazon is to refund you if you simply claim the box showed up with a brick in it. I’ve also seen conflicting reports on whether or not they’ll actually check if a return has the same serial number on it. What say you, Hexbear?
They’ll really, actually refund for this? I figured that in cases where the package is actually stolen from your doorstep that Amazon would just tell you to pound sand by saying it’s your fault you didn’t secure the thing soon enough.
Will they require a police report? I’d loath to talk to the fucking cops about anything, but hey, if it saves me nearly a thousand dollars on a GPU, then maybe I should just get over it for few minutes to do so. I guess I could simply be as vague as possible in filling out the report. If the police really wanted to, they could probably get permission to look at my neighbors ring cameras, some of which probably have a view of my front door, but I guess that’s a moot point because the cops aren’t going to put in anywhere near that kind of effort into solving a petty theft when they could be spending their time on more productive pursuits like shooting family dogs and planting drugs on black people.
This is the thing I would worry about only because so many police departments probably have easy access to camera systems that it would probably be a good chance for them to look busy with minimal effort. Shooting dogs and planting drugs is a lot of work.
They don’t need permission
Well that’s what I’m saying, the access is already there. Amazon/Ring has been busted giving out vids without permission. There’s probably an easy web portal that the pigs use to get an automatic rubber-stamped approval for access.
I replied to the wrong comment sorry
lol no worries.
