Augh. Rough day on a short stretch of highway.

On the way home from work, I saw a cat get hit by a truck coming the other way. The cat was spun head over heels into my lane so I hit the brakes. The truck didn't stop. Neither did the cat. It hit the ground running and there was a moment where I thought its back leg might be broken, but it didn't slow it down. I turned around and went back to look and I couldn't find it anywhere, so hopefully it made it home and there is somebody there to take care of it.

My poor sister was on the same stretch when the ipad that someone had left on the roof of the van flew off and was run over by the car behind her. Does anybody know how to get stuff off a roadkill ipad? Can we take it to an apple store or a Best Buy? Is that an option? Any good news I can give her would be appreciated.

Oh jeez. :( I hope that cat's okay. Afraid I don't know anything about data retrieval of crushed ipads, but I can try asking some folks at work who seem to be in the know.

If you can, that would be great! I appreciate it.

What I was told is you can take it to anyplace that does Mac repairs. The Apple Store might be all you need, but a private business that does repairs might be more willing to tinker around to recover the data. Hope that helps!
