Wasn't exactly a smash and grab, but I was a victim to theft yesterday. I was at the DMV for a few different things, went down to last counter to get my picture taken and set all my documents and phone on the counter. I finished and gathered my things and left, but when I got to my car I realized I didn't have my phone. Went back thinking I must have left it on the counter. GONE. Dude that was in line behind me was definitely sketchy and he was MIA too. Called my phone right away and it had already been turned off. Losing your phone fucking sucks!
Apple has a phone locater online....I used it when I worked teaching and we found a students stolen phone by the thief's address....the program showed exactly where the phone was...she got it back
Yup, I had a Google, which has a locator if the phone is on. Theif was smart to turn it off right away.
Meh, that guy will get his eventually. Karma's a bitch. I'm just angry at the giant pain in my ass it's caused.
I never use my phone on BART. Funny story, a small young man on BART was scrolling through his iPhone when a man twice his size snatched it and tried to get to next car. Small guy pinned him against side of the car with one leg, balanced on other leg and started pummeling would be thief until he got his phone back. Little guy is a San Francisco Ballet dancer with very strong legs.
