He stole the phone with a gun in his hand. When he saw it, he immediately returned it

A daring robbery in a parking lot

If you have to steal, it’s millions, they say. In that case, if you do steal phones, only those that are valuable enough not to risk a sentence for a handful of coins. Okay, this case it’s not so one-sided at allbut a situation in which the attacker comes first reaches for the gunand then anyway I’m giving away the itemsin the oddity category it’s always worth noting.

A bizarre situation happened in Washington, reports the local daily ABC7. At the end of November A man working as an Uber Eats driver was allegedly surprised in the parking lot by two masked thieves, who brandished a gun and demanded him to empty his pockets. With little choice, the injured party he gave everything obedientlybut according to the presented account, this was by no means the end of the events of that evening.

He gave his phone away because he wanted an iPhone. Allegedly

The thieves got it car keys and an Android phone, which turned out to be crucial in this case, because when they were about to drive away in the stolen vehicle, they called the victim back. One of the attackers, clearly agitated, had return the smartphone, adding that he was counting on… an iPhone – we read in the report. And if earlier he knewthat he is stealing an Android device, he wouldn’t take it for anything.

Of course, it’s easy to see that This whole story seems a bit far-fetched, and the reason for giving up the phone could have been purely pragmatic. When stealing a car it’s stupid to take the phone, which is most likely worth a fraction of the price of the vehicle, but it creates an additional opportunity for law enforcement officers to track down the perpetrators. It is possible that the thieves simply realized in time what a terrible mistake they were making.

Fuel for online fights

Either way, the story from Washington is spreading like a viral in the local media, and Internet users have fuel for it smartphone fights. If even a guy risking a conviction for robbery doesn’t want Android, you can still laugh. I only feel sorry for the injured man who, as he argues, is truly suffering because he lost his car as a food supplier and lost his working tool.
