I told your story tonight while I was gaming and my friend Rodney has just moved, so he has decided to also get some renter's insurance.

According to the dude at Nintendo I talked to when I called, no, because of their privacy policy he claims they don't have a way to trace a particular Wii's usage. I can't imagine that they couldn't, but I understand if they choose not to have their software log or report enough information to do it, and I don't suppose my Wii is worth them modifying their server (and breaking their privacy policy). It would be good PR, though, "Wii recovers stolen property." He did say they'd flag it so that if anyone tried to register that serial number they'd call me.

Wow, sorry to hear about this man. I hope the insurance company doesn't give you too much of a hard time with replacing things. At least you didn't get hurt or anything. And it's probably a good reminder that possessions and gadgets ultimately don't mean that much in the scope of life.

My dad was robbed at (shot)gun-point a few months ago, in the cozy suburbs of Connecticut. It's a scary world out there...sometimes.
