A PAIR OF THIEVES RIPPED A MAN'S PINKY OFF WHILE TRYING TO STEAL HIS IPAD!

A pair of crooked thieves snatched a Colorado man's iPad - along with his pinky.
Former New Jersey resident Bill Jordan had picked up the highly sought after Apple gadget for a co-worker when the incident occurred last week, CBS4 in Denver reported.

The 59-year-old had left the Apple store at the Cherry Creek Mall when, according to surveillance video, he was followed by two young men. As he approached the parking lot, he felt a tug on his arm.

"[The man] was almost sitting on the ground he was pulling so hard and it was still tied around my fingers," Jordan said.

"Then finally he gave it one big jerk, and that's when he stripped the skin off my pinky," he said.

The skin and tendons were ripped away from the small finger on his left hand. The damage was so severe, a hand surgeon told the Aurora, Colo., resident his pinky would need to be amputated.

"It's like a bad dream," Jordan told the local news channel, all for a "simple piece of apparatus that'll be junk in a couple of years."
