Apple’s April 3-launched iPad has added to a growing list of Apple products that attract weird robbers and wacky crimes – with the most recent mugging incident involving 59-year-old Bill Jordan, a Denver, Colorado resident, who lost his newly-purchased iPad as well as his finger!

The last-Thursday incident took place after Jordan left the Apple Store at Cherry Creek Mall with a new iPad that he purchased for his colleague in Canada. Incidentally, he tied the iPad drawstring around his finger.

Going by the surveillance film, two men followed Jordan as he left the store; and one of them attacked Jordan just outside the parking garage. And, since the bag containing the iPad was tied around Jordan’s finger, the assailant ripped off the finger along with the device.

Describing the mugging incident to CBS4, Jordan said that the attacker was “was pulling so hard and it (iPad) was still tied around my fingers; and it wouldn't come off and then finally he gave it one big jerk; and that's when he stripped the skin off my pinky and it went right down to the bone. I saw just a bone, all the skin and tendons and everything were off.”

With his finger bleeding profusely, Jordan was rushed to the hospital, where he was informed by a hand surgeon that part of his finger would have to be amputated.
