Surgeons were compelled to amputate the 59 yearold’s finger after the brazen burglar snaffled his bag containing the keenly sought after device outside an Apple store in Denver, Colorado.

Doctors were also in a position to to get rid of his marriage band from the distended finger without cutting it.

Mr Jordan, who resides in the suburb of halo east in Denver, told the way in which the rope of the bag wrapped round his left hand due to its weight.

The burglar “fully blindsided ” him and ripped the bag out of his hand, stripping the flesh of Jordan’s finger down to the bone.

“He kept pulling until something had to give, and it wound up being my finger, ” he announced.

“There was nothing apart from bone showing on the entire back of the pinky.

“The skin was just gone.”

Mr Jordan, who admitted he was shocked at the theft, stated that he had bought the tablet PC for a pal in Canada, where the iPad has yet been released.

“I actually hope they catch the guy, he announced.

“I would totally hate to think that someone else would have to go thru this. “

Police have security footage from the burglary and have got the serial number of the iPad from the Apple store.

A spokesperson for the store was not available for comment.

No one has been arrested over the event.
