Karma at work imho.
Thankyou,Tom0 said:booooo *gets your coat...
and goodnightTrigger said:Taxi, methinks
Mohinder said:Maybe he's scared of the po-po too?
Nah, that's not working is it.
I get your point but I dunno.. I'd have been tempted to do the same myself. The dude sounds like a royal **** to me.
powned said:My bro was in town the other night.. he saw some bloke drop his phone on the floor.. so being the honest guy he is he walked over to this fella to hand the phone back. As my bro tapped him on the shoulder this guy turns round an says 'who the **** you touching you little *****...'
so my bro says, 'oh... sorry, my mistake' and pockets himself a £250 sony phone with mp3 player/camera etc etc.
yoink! poetic justice...
Sigh. No swearing.
Gilly.
Aye, me too. I'd have still given it back in the same situation I think, whether he was being a **** or not. Handing his phone back to him would probably have immediately defused all his chav machoness too, which would have given me a laugh at least.Bigstan said:Don't get me wrong, I detest rudeness but my inherent honesty tells me it's wrong to steal stuff regardless of how much the ****head deserves it.

Pickers said:I'd still have given it back.. And if your bro really was too "scared" to continue the discussion, he should take it to the police station. Or use the phone to ring a phonebook number.
There really is no way to 'lose a phone' and not get it back - its only if the finder is dishonest, in which case it becomes theft of the phone....
dirtydog said:When the man responded like that, why didn't the brother say 'hang on mate, you dropped your phone - I want to give it back to you' or something. Personally I wouldn't go up to someone at night from behind and tap them on the back anyway, it's asking for trouble isn't it? Why didn't he speak to get his attention 'excuse me mate?'
