I got a free xbox, except it was a brand new slim and came with a game

Chances are whoever owned it thought it was properly knackered with the rrod and threw it out.

I only left it there because I'd ran back inside to get my car keys.

I suggest you give it back to me before I call the police.

If you don't need it, you could always take it back, knock on a few doors and return a fixed xbox.

That'd make someone's day

Especially when it's not theirs in the first place.

If you remove the clamps and the threaded barb bits on the bottom of the heatsinks you can just put screws through the mainbard into the heatsink and it will fit a lot more tightly and securely. You can get kits of ebay for this purpose that have all the screws and washer in that you need if you dont have any such things lying around like i luckily did.

As long as it didn't fall off the back of a lorry into the street.

No it was just the box with the console it and nothing else apart from a manual or two.

I forgot to mention we put a GPS tracking device inside so you can expect a knock on the door.

So you just took it without a thought for the owner? You didn't even spend 30 seconds trying to locate them? I bet you even jogged home. Nice. How's it feel to be a thief?

The guy probably popped back into his house for keys or something.
