Brian Hogan — the dude that “found” the iPhone HD/4G that made all the headlines in April — is probably guilty of a lot of things, but is certainly guilty of picking crappy roommates. According to Wired, Hogan was narced on by his roommate, Katherine Martinson. Here’s my favorite bit from the article:
“Sucks for him,” Hogan allegedly told Martinson about Powell. “He lost his phone. Shouldn’t have lost his phone.”
Martinson turned Hogan in, because Hogan had plugged the phone into her laptop in an attempt to get it working again after Apple remotely disabled it. She was convinced that Apple would be able to trace her Internet IP address as a result. “Therefore she contacted Apple in order to absolve herself of criminal responsibility,” according to the detective who wrote the affidavit.
Thinking back on the roommates I’ve had since my sophomore year in college, I can’t think of a single one that would have ratted me out. Let this be a lesson to you. Most of all, let this be a lesson to Brian Hogan. Pick your roommates wisely!
Wow! Let this be a lesson to guys never get female roommates. The saying bros before hoes would apply here and wouldve worked.
Wow that sucks…
