So you take some money and the claim ticket and go redeem your stuff from the pawn shop. Yeah, I know, that probably means something else totally stupid and pointless that shouldn't be part of any intelligent conversation.hondo44 wrote: ↑Sat Sep 14, 2019 2:06 am this one is really unfortunate because it doesn't tell the whole story. the kid had been cyber bullied, cyber stalked, doxxed and all his boxes were pwned.

Elderly Tennessee man is Swatted by UK minor working for a Tennessee man wanting the elderly mans Twitter handle @ Tennessee.
Swat surrounds his house and he has a heart attack. UK minor told authorities he had killed some one and would detonate pipe bombs if arrested.
This occurs after multiple harassments in an attempt to get the valuable handle.
