On Sunday evening, I think my daughter left my Zune near the street or something, and now it is gone forever. On Monday morning I could not find it, and asked her where it went. She has no idea!
She thinks she may have been sitting on the porch watching the Simpsons on it, but has no idea where she put it when she was done. She thinks she may have put it on the living room coffee table though. On Monday, we had two deliveries made to my house, so I'm thinking if it was sitting out, it got jacked.
My other theory was that on Monday, I was robbed, and the only thing that was taken was my Zune. That is really hard to believe!
So, I am looking for a cheap Zune, used or new. I also found the below device that just came out, and may consider getting one for my birthday, Sept. 24th, unless I can find a deal on a Zune.
