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?'
Think I am equally missing the point - he has a £250 phone which is (probably) barred. Using or selling it would equate to theft. I dont see what he has gained, other than an anecdote.
