Alex is presumed armed (with the missing iPad) and dangerous (liable to post uncontrollably if cornered) - so DO NOT APPROACH for any reason!
If either Alex or the iPad are sighted, call 1-IVE-GOT-FOWL and a highly trained chicken will terminate this hideous suspense and take the iPad into protective long-term custody.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION AND YOUR COOPERATION! |

I would use an iPad to read, review, convert, and upload books to share to the thousands of wonderful people on the internet that visit such community pillars like mobileread.com. I would use an iPad to buy everyone here a pair boots because it is really getting deep in here  |

I really miss the little guy and am pining for his return!
If found by Alex, please return to the chicken. No questions will be asked. All is forgiven. I've kept his room exactly as it was when he vanished! His teddy bear is lonely too!
Have a heart, Alex, and send out little "iPaddy" home! |
