Should have known better not to wander the gypsy neighbourhoods. What surprised me though after stealing my phone (worth =~ $1000) is they called a cab. Do you wanna walk home (nearby city center) or do you wanna have the $20 bill covered?
That's interesting. Thanks for sharing. I'm not that surprised they called a cab, though.... What's the second-hand market for your phone? Say, $750? Suppose they average 1 phone a day?? That's around $200K annual income, tax-free? Why bother walking? Just because someone robs you, it doesn't mean he's poor or desperate... it only means he has no empathy for others. I'm sorry you went through that experience.
Was for real. Yeah, no big deal, wasn't the first time. Gets better over successive trials. Obviously. Not much they can do unless I get a SWAT team to track my phone at 4 AM in the night. I did recover my stolen phone once (told ya it wasn't the first time I was robbed) but it did require some thinking out of the box and coordination that only an IQ of 150+ is capable of.
