I'm somewhat surprised that the support for this chick in the comments is running as high as it is.

1. She should have known to back up her "irreplacable photos" and "thousands of dollars in music."
2. Stupid to buy an extended warranty that just adds 37.5% to Best Buy's profit margin. Especially on something not worth that much, all things considered.
3. While Best Buy certainly did give her the run around, they eventually offered $900 to replace a laptop that was only worth $800 one year previous.
4. Leaving legal/personal info on a laptop is just begging to have your identity stolen. Might as well just park your vehicle in front of your house so jerks can smash into it with their car and drive away.

Interesting to see where this one goes. She deserves some compensation, but that is a little ridiculous. I'll give her credit for being smart enough to know she'll get more money by winning the battle in the court of public opinion than she would in a civil court.
Oh, and fixed. Sorry, Nehkara
