Adventures with a Micro SDHC Card

General Discussion
1

So today I went to Radio Crack (Shack) and bought a San Disk micro SDHC card for a tablet. It came with an adapter to make it a regular SDHC card. I plugged it into my computer to name it and all that and found that 1.24 GB was used. I open the drive’s file system and find an iPhone backup file. Upon further investigation, some customer left his iPhone files on there which included wedding photos, personal photos, and even a photo of his license plate.

Now here’s where I’m confused. The SDHC card was BRAND NEW in box but the little package had a piece of tape on it like it had ripped yet all the packaging was in tact as though it was factory fresh. How would he have been able to remove the card and place it back when the packaging was fine? You would have to send it to San Disk for that which for $10, just get a different card.

What I’m trying to get at is, make sure that before you return a file storage device, format it. I have since wasted my time formatting it for someone else. Plus, who knows if some creepy stalker/criminal bought the card and found that license plate photo? He’s lucky it was just me who purchased it.

He could have returned it and the radio shack put it in oragnal packageing

Yes they have there own packages and they reseal it and put it on the shelf and BOOM you have a new SD card

People LOVE to buy stuff, use it, and then return it. Most stores know this, but it’s hard to do much about. This is why most electronics have return limits or re-stock charges.

My former supermarket job – their return policy was Double Money Back on private brand products. How do you get cash fast?

You go to Produce and buy four $15 fruit platters for $60.

Then you take them home.

Then you return to a different store the next day and return them.

After that you get your $60 back… plus another $60… which you then go spend on condoms, alcohol, cigarettes, and marijuana.

Haha that person has some bad habits.

Just purchase the most expensive product, and then return it…

I have never seen when you return something you get twice the cost.

Never tried that before, but then again I don’t do shopping. My father does. I buy very few things and whatever money I get I put in the bank.
