Man Kidnaps Son-in-law, Trades Him For Xbox 360

dbune writes "Two Tennessee men were arrested after they allegedly kidnapped one of the men's son-in-law over some stolen jewelry. The victim was beaten and finally freed him in exchange for a neighbor's Xbox 360. The victim was able to reach his mother-in-law and she spoke to a neighbor who suggested they trade his Xbox 360 valued between $400 and $500 in return for the release of the kidnapped victim."

Since this little family fight involved an Xbox, you get to read about it here on slashdot. Coming up next: Man found out about his wife cheating on him by reading her phone bill. Her phone is an Android!
