Today, I lost my phone. On the bright side, someone found it. On the downside, they won't give it back. FML

Y'know...the police may be pricks at times, but this is generally the type of situation they could help with. Or you can stab them in the face. Either way works.

That kind of logic only makes sense until you meet the person with your phone, then you find out that their muscle mass is exponentially greater than yours. Unless they're scrawny, then it still works out, but then again the person probably wouldn't let you find them.

You could always bring along a sledgehammer, that might help you out...

I think a sledgehammer would make this some sort of a crime....you know because you have a weapon and all....

The OP had their phone stolen though... So the other guy committed a crime too. (:

The police could actually help in these kinda situations. if not, well sucks to be you!

There's a saying you know..2 wrongs don't make a right...I think it applies xp. Because whether or not they took OP's phone, illegal is illegal and you can get in trouble for it.

57, jealousy isn't a good look. :-(

yea but their theft charge against OPs assault with a deadly weapon and or attempted murder.....judge will go for the theif comming out better off than OP. so its a lose lose

As Julian Smith would say- GET YOUR OWN IPHONE!

Just walk up to them with a shotgun. My cop friend says its 100% legal, because your just exercising your write to carry a gun.

Technically, unless he saw who took the phone, OP can't kick the persons ass. OP probably called the phone and the person picked up, but said he won't return it. Still, a roundhouse kick to the face would be cool.

107 your not allowed to just walk around with your shotgun loaded in public...license or not...stop listening to your cop friend

Todat, this one guy came up and repeadeatly asked for my phone. He says I'm a thief and that I shouldn't steal other people's stuff. I don't know what he's talking about. FML

I'm sure if op offered some sort of monetary compensation(money) it would be returned.

...or they could stab them in the face for free.

You wouldn't even lose a knife in the process either! Just a little bleach to remove the bloodstains and it's good as new!

You could've just said money. Ya know, save yourself the trouble? Instead now you sound like a really pretentious person.

13 - why should OP have to pay to get his phone back? OP - go to the police. Since you know who has it, it should be easy for them to figure out.

I remember losing my phone at school... the ass that found it said they'd return it to the school, and when we said we need it back that day in person, they hid it on some random ass street. Moral of the story: Search and destroy OP. It'll make you feel better, trust me.

Aww :( *crawls back under a rock* Wait 62, you just said it -.-

Well, I have to say that a Finder's Fee of $30 or so isn't completely unheard of. The guy is saving you the trouble of buying a whole, new $300 phone, afterall. That said, if he's absolutely not going to give it back to you, then you really should call the police.

97 -- with what phone? :p (Yes, I'm aware that there are other phones that can be used.) |the kid|

Sucks to be you right now.... *breaks out in song*

On the bright side, you can always call the police.

with the phone she doesn't have. great idea.

It's called a friend's phone, home phone or pay phone. Derp.

Deactivate it and see how much they want it then. :]

Good old grab and go. Unless you don't know where they live.
