ezzra Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 One should never let his guards down when in places full of people with lots of valuables on them, there are many shady slimy sticky fingers people hanging about just looking for this absent minded person to pounce on him......

reggaebkk Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 Police usually doesn care for this kind of theft, he must have stolen a phone to the mia noi of a police or army general. Why else would police do something about it? After all their job is not to protect commoners but keep them quiet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure there is no "App" to convert your Mobile to a Taser, however YouTube prankster Tom Mabe has several Videos on line in which he uses a specially designed / converted iPhone with a remote activator. Quite amusing sometimes. Patrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noticed after check in. Went to the information place who directed me to the police station at the airport. Lady took all the details. I flew off and didn't expect to here anything. The police called my wife later in the day to say they had interviewed the taxi driver who of course denied everything. The police officer also gave my wife his number so I could call when I returned. I did and he was on a day off. They must have let him know I'd called as he rang me later even though it was his day off. They know thieves steal phones. smart phones, iPads, notebooks and drop them off quickly for "cleansing" and recycling ready for resale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
