You got arrested for credit card theft and a gambler

What is a hammer gonna do for a musician?

Get his phone back like it did.

No need for what ifs, cause it worked.

I actually found a iPhone 3GS in the snow once not long after it was released. The owner had the nerve to try and call the phone
Turned that shyt off, did a factory reset on it and gave it to my lady
It's a cold world out there, finder's keepers

 

[RealestSinceKumbaya]

BTW iPhones aren't really that easy to track once lost. Unless the owner is tech savvy and has the Find My iPhone or a similar app installed. Only idiots who start using the phone immediately without resetting it get caught like the morons they are.

NEW YORK (AP) -- A New York City musician used a combination of technology, seduction, a hammer and a bribe to reclaim his missing iPhone from a confused crook.

Jazz trombonist Nadav Nirenberg (nah-DAHV' NEE'-run-berg) says he left the phone in a livery cab on New Year's Eve. The next morning, the 27-year-old learned via email that someone was sending messages to women using a dating app on the phone.

Nirenberg logged on to the service and offered the man a date - posing as a woman. He even posted a picture of a pretty girl.

When the culprit arrived at Nirenberg's Brooklyn apartment building with wine, the musician greeted him with a $20 bill while holding a hammer - just in case.

The thief handed him the iPhone and left without a word.

so what he was going to hit the guy with the hammer and then explain to the cops that the guy found his smartphone was using it and was tricked into meeting him (the owner) and refused to give him the phone back so he was then hit with a hammer?

So you're bragging about being a thief? Where they do that at, you degenerate fukk?

Stealing phones is low.

Luckily, everyone that has found my phone has been honest, or at the very least sympathetic.

This story is dumb as hell. Nobody stole his phone. He lost it. The rest of it doesn't even make sense.

A phone is about the worst thing you can steal. And no doing a factory reset won't save you.

A lot of those programs can still track the device after a reset because they don't require anything to be installed on the phone. At least with non-apple phones which will still be in service after the reset.

Even if the person can't track it they can generally call their provider and get the phone's serial number put on the stolen list preventing you from using it on another account. I'm sure there's ways around this but most people who'd resort to thieving phones aren't aware of them.

How far you want to take this logic though? Anytime someone leaves something unattended it's finders keepers?

If you go to the library use a computer and leave some of your personal information on it can I just steal your identity w/o repercussion since you left it there?

The guy was knowingly in possession of someone else's property. He had multiple options which included leaving it in the cab, or making an attempt to contact the owner using the information stored in the phone. Instead he decided to pick up the phone and download dating apps using the owner's e-mail.
