After Hours

This sounds like a hands-down liability case. Either Best Buy or the manufacturer should be liable - a good lawyer would file a claim against both.

I would imagine that the apartment owner's insurance company would want to pursue it as well. Fire damage, smoke damage, personal property damage, temporary living arrangements, etc. In the end, this shouldn't cost you a penny.

A chainsaw. Need I say more?

Last year I got an x-box 360. I havent played on a game console since the super nintendo.
this would have been a nice gift, if I was much of a gamer, but to get it to work caused me to spend lots of money. See my tv, and old crt, was already filled up, so no place to plug it in. I had to buy another tv to use it. Well, not really, I could have done other things, but I didnt want it in the same place either.
So, I had to get another tv. Also, they got a bunch of regular x-box games for it. However, most of these games were incompatible with the 360, so I had to go out and get an x-box (or a bunch of returns).
I did have some fun playing on it at first, but I have used it for about an hour over the last 4 months.
This is the exact reason that I dont get electronics for other people unless I know exactly what they want.

A heated travel mug. The cord plugs into the cigarette lighter. Three guesses how long that lasted!

...That I got on Christmas Day. This means that it was basically useless to use it this year. Therefore, I now have something that I have to store for 11 months--only to take it out, have to buy batteries for it, find an outlet for it to plug into, turn it on and scare the heck out of my cat, then repeat for another year.

To top it all off, it was bought at a store in another state which isn't a chain store, so it cannot even be returned. And get this--It was $25! I can think of many other things much more useful for that kind of cash (yes, they left the sticker on it).
