youve never seen or done a large quantity drug deal have you... you meet in public places like malls, grocery stores, and resurants to ensure no one gets shot or trys to raise a scene
+JaZc close... i personally have been in that life though... *gasp* there are ppl who have dealt drugs? yes... i stopped because that isnt a life... i like how dumb peices of shit dont know a damn thing about the people they talk to and just assume... you know what assuming does right? just makes and ass out of u and me ya jackass... and what tv show has ever covered that... and for those that are just to good to do any kind of drug deal with their noses in the air like their shit dont stink how about a break up? public place means a smaller scene from the one your with... dumbasses
+Gabriel Williams I also been down that road and never done such stupid thing, mainly because because of security cameras. Of course I stopped but lol for doing that.
Those guys had alot of self control, hats off to them. I honestly would have chocked him to the floor and asked him did he want to steal another phone...
Tayyab Javed Yes, unfortunately. But, honestly i would just have wanted the phone back. The only point i would have snapped was when that guy got loud, other than that I'd just want my phone back and no problems.
Julian Boffa Probably. The thief looked like a chump, in my opinion if the dude had of smack the living hell out of him one good time, he would be justified, and then the thief should have left with no cops called.
+Julian Boffa No you're just aggressive. Starting a fight when you can easily just get your phone back is useless and will get you in trouble. Two wrongs don't make a right.
Ashton Evalu I disliked this video, not because I'm a criminal, I'm 17 years of age. I disliked this video because of the editing of this video. What he did was right, retrieving the phone and that was it. But why in fucks name did they have to keep on slandering him after they retrieved the phone. And maybe the guy did buy the stolen phone off a scumbag of a friend, you have no idea (yes I'm well aware that it says lost phone, but people like these take your money off you before they sell you it just like every other shop in existence, it's not personal, it's just business). Now in my opinion I do believe that the man did steal the phone, however, I feel that the person recording and editing this was equally in the wrong for not dropping the situation after winning, this is what I like to believe as overkill and being a sore winner. You should've took the phone and left, staying and slandering the man after retrieving the phone was extremely unessasary given the fact that the thief was trying to leave the area but you kept on following him to slander him. What that James guy did wasn't wrong at all (now I didn't hear him say anything) but he seemed to look the tallest and the strongest in that group and what he was doing was defending his friends incase the thief would attack them, in my opinion there's nothing wrong with that, he was just there protecting his friends, he wasn't provoking the thief or looking to cause trouble, he was just defending. However, for the cameraman and editor, shame on you for continuously slandering the man after winning the fight. All you were doing was looking to fight and therefore I would place you just as low as the thief was
Hero_ when you have your property stolen with most likely personal content on there such as old family photos, you try to remain calm and collected when the thief has the nerve to attempt and sell it back to you for a set sum of money. I don’t blame the guys for acting how they did. I would too if someone tried to extort me for my own property
+Tofu Drift Van why didn't you just call the cops they would of picked him as he tryed to sell the phone to you its lucky the mall didn't call the cops on for causing trouble
The lie he planned on telling the cops is that he purchased stolen merchandise. Even if they believed that utter BS, legally he'd be entitled to zilch.
I believe him because it happens to innocent people who buy a used iPhone from a real theft (of course, don't know at first) see the phone is not on Lost / Stolen mode until later on when the owner finally put it on. I will never buy a used iPhone because of this, those days are gone.
Damn guys... im sorry but im on the other side of the story, i bought an iphone i few days ago, an iphone 6s, but it was working perfectly when i tested it and everything, and it was all fine, the seller lied about the iCloud account it had inside, he said it was his aunts, but obviously it wasn't, as soon as i connected to a wifi i got the find my iphone notification, (i know i was dumb i didn't test that earlier, that was my mistake) so i contacted the owner and gladly gave her the phone back, at least felt amazing knowing i did such a blessing to someone, giving back an stolen phone, even buying it from the robber to give it back, it felt good... but i didn't ask for money... you have nooo... idea how horrible i feel knowing i lost 500 dollars just like that, im trying to contact the guy who sold it to me, but still on it.. wish me luck guys, and i really hope this guy is not in the same situation as me unfortunately.. :( try to think it this way next time you watch the video.
+Harol Pachon but this guy knew this phone was stolen, plus you didn't tried to extort the owner for money. The thief was a friend of him, he always knew it was stolen, that's why he only paid his friend $200 for it.
You're a big dummy spending so much money for a used phone. I don't see why people try hard buying things they can't afford. The simple thing would've been to buy a brand new phone.
denis vr6 That's why this is the stupidest thief ever, because he did exactly that, and he even choose a public place which worked in advantage to us instead of him.
Then he would have tipped off the person he bought it from. He could have agreed to help corroborate the whole thing. Most likely they have him on cctv, and possibly recorded his phone calls. Also sending threatening texts didn't help his story of "I bought it from a friend"
+TweetysDen That's true. The phone doesn't even need to be sold on the black market. Stolen phones get sold every single day on ebay, kijiji, and craigslist. However the threatening messages and stuff, he could of went about it differently. Usually with a transaction you will have some sort of proof either texting, phone calls, or email.
So, you knew the thief was going to meet you to try to sell the phone back to you. All you needed to do was call the police and have them meet you there. All of the nonsense about the thief buying the phone would have been finished.
***** Tell the police that they are full of shit, and unless they get off their ass and do something you will have your lawyer press charges on their department, and have another department investigate the charges. AND get the badge numbers of the twats who say they cant do anything, and pursue individual criminal charges.
***** You would be telling me a different story if this happened to you. This is not just a stolen skateboard, or iphone. It is a death threat plain and simple. I dont want to hear your excuses about why the police are not doing their jobs. FUCK their computer work. That is not what WE pay them for. We pay them to protect and serve. If that is too much for them, they should put down the fucking badge, and walk away. My fathers car was stolen by a bunch of drug adddict teenagers. Ya know, GrandTheftAuto. A felony. They gave him the same bullshit 'there is nothing we can do.' Yet a kid throws a rock at a house, and they send at least 2 cars to patrol our entire neighborhood for hours. Stop with the excuses.
Degenerate999 Yes, spend thousands on lawyers and other departments just to get a $200 phone back. Legal system is entirely fucking useless and sometimes you just need to take matters into your own hands. My two hands have done more for me than the legal system.
***** When I lived in South Korea CSI came to our house when we were burglarized. They recovered EVERYTHING! Even my cash. American police are just lazy fucking pigs.
you shouldve had the police come and meet him there. if the phone was stolen and the prrof is that it says lost phone/stolen phone, and he was in possession of it, the police wouldve arrested him on the spot for possesion of stolen property. but you just let him leave and you could be in danger because of the fact he is still out there.
+Tofu Drift Van Well you left 2 wallets and a phone at your arse you deserve to have things stolen if you leave them lying about. I would have cut my losses with the phone and just kept the contents of the wallets for myself.
trip2themoon No I didn't. It was my friend. Also it was at his desk inside his shop, which is not open to the public. The thief got inside the shop and grabbed them. BTW, your morals are ethically impeccable! You must be such a role model.
+Tofu Drift Van How did he get so much time and access if they locked away in a bit away from the public? I smell bullshit. Don't make things easy for thieves, it's that simple. If people leave things lying around, taking them is a good way to teach them not to be complacent in the future.
+trip2themoon I'm sorry, you just don't understand. It doesn't matter how I explain it you still will think it's my friends fault for not being on a constant state of paranoia. Have a good one.
"Get away or were calling the cops" omfg everyone acts like the cops are supposed to be the big bad ass heroes. No a cop is just a normal person with a badge. Handle your problems and quit acting like cops do the dirty work for you
Jonathan Mitchell Petty? Theft is a common offence that's dealt by the force on a daily basis! Moreover, If someone threatens you, or someone you love, action needs to be taken! Petty my ass!
You aren't allowed to do anything by yourself anymore in this society. If the cops aren't involved then, then they will be involved against you afterward.
Anybody can enforce a law. You don't need a badge to enforce the law. That's called citizens arrest. Keeping them there untill some other pig comes along and traps then in a cell against there will. Not being left alone and having to deal with fines and other bullshit 😒 God I hate this fucking world
2:10 "I'll call the cops right now".......see, now being the funny, silly goose that I am......this is where I would have said to him, 'you can't call the cops , you don't have a phone'
just front him and say when he tried to call "Wanna use mine? PSYCHE!!!" also, would have said, no ones accused you of stealing the phone, we just want it back.. i do apologize, but the purchase of the phone was your own undoing, the phone is ours.. called the cops whilst he was busy talking himself out of a hole and let the cops deal with it.. kept him busy until they arrived.. boom.. and there goes the dynamite.
They should have called the cops right off the bat. Get the phone and let the cops sort out his bullshit. *IF* he is telling the truth about buying it from a friend, than he cops can ask who his friend is and they can go talk to his friend about the stolen property. BUT, if nothing else it might (rather laughable with idiots like him) might, get him to rethink stealing stuff.
You know what they should do? Once the cops arrive, take him to the phone store and make him watch as she turns the phone back on. If it has all her stuff, arrest him
+Armond Nero I might have an answer to that, theoretical of course: the wallets had little to no value and either had no money or anything else of major value that couldn't be replaced. In all likelihood, they were inexpensive and they probably canceled any credit/bank cards and got reissued licences quickly. Asking him to give any of that back would be a waste because the contents would be thrown away and all floating cash would be nearly unidentifiable.
+Armond Nero Very good question. There's something very wrong with this whole thing. The more I think about it, the more I believe this is all one big act. I think all these morons know each other, and are putting on a phony show.
You are right, I would want to beat the living shit out of that little shit robber, but in reality if I did, in a situation like that, the way the laws are so fucked up now, I would go to jail and the idiot would walk away free.
Samantha Rose u guys are different,I saw all u wanted was the phone back,i would have kicked his head in,still,respect,the world needs peaceful ppl like u guys
Usman Tariq on iPhones there's an app called "Find My iPhone" it tracks your phone and you can press this button where it says lost phone and you can put a personalized message and put a phone number where they can reach you so you can get your phone back
He could legally get you locked up in jail and sue you for putting his face in the video without his permission.... Even if he stole the phone, your breaking the law... just saying..
Well not to be racist its white people ?? They just rather talk out the problem and trash talk each other . Then go take there anger out on schools,and movie theaters .
I honestly see no reason to automatically assume that this guy is the thief. He had possession of stolen property, yes, but his story does actually hold up as a cause for reasonable doubt. A "friend" of his could have sold it for $200 to him, only for him to find out about the thief lock app whereupon he called the listed return number. Having just been scammed out of two hundred bucks, it's not entirely unreasonable to want to recuperate his losses. It's not FULLY reasonable to do what he did, but there is at least some level of reasoning behind it. Given his apparel and speech pattern, he most likely isn't educated enough to fully understand why this was a bad idea. Was what he did totally wrong? Was the owner of the phone in the right for threatening him with police involvement? Maybe he's just a thief coming up with excuses. I don't know, and neither do you. Either way, pushing your own narrative when there is more than one possibility from the evidence in this way isn't really right.
+Bachri Blank Selling stolen goods is against the law in the first place. No matter if he was the thief or not, stop trying to push your narrative that the dude is innocent. Thief or not he was in the wrong, if he wanted his 200 dollars back he should get it from his "friend".
Pixel454 I never said that he was "innocent," but that there is no valid reason to make him out to be the thief with a 100% chance. And who is to say he hasn't already tried to get that money back? You don't quite seem to understand how things go with the down-and-out. Assuming that he actually does have a friend whom has sold the phone to him, which is still not an invalid point due to our limited knowledge of the situation, it's plausible that the guy sold him the phone based on trust. The phone gets shown while turned off, money and item exchange hands, then the man in the video finds out it's stolen AFTER receiving it. Then he either tries to get his money back from his friend or calls up the number on the app. Look at the guy's clothes, his mannerisms, in the wrong or not he's either homeless or a druggie. Possibly both, but as long as his story holds up, two hundred dollars is a massive, *MASSIVE* amount of cash for someone like that. If he was willing to spend that on a phone, then that should show that he's trying to get out of that kind of life. Do you have any idea how difficult it is to do that? A working phone is a massive step in the right direction, but nearly impossible to obtain when in poverty. And yes, I do realize I'm making a ton of assertions and pushing a narrative. Wanna know why? Because I'm proving a point. That point is that these possibilities are all valid, all of the possibilities that YOU come up with are equally valid, NONE OF US CAN KNOW FOR SURE!
Bachri Blank I'm not saying he is or isn't the thief, i was talking about the situation at hand, he was willingly and knowingly trying to sell stolen property. This is against the law. He broke the law. He's in the wrong be it a thief or not, as you said, thats unknowable.
Pixel454 "Having just been scammed out of two hundred bucks, it's not entirely unreasonable to want to recuperate his losses. It's not FULLY reasonable to do what he did, but there is at least some level of reasoning behind it"
Bachri Blank Still breaking the law. The only rational thing to do is to give the phone back and demand money from whoever sold it to him. If i broke into your house, stole your pc, gave it to a friend who tried to sell it back to you, you might understand. But thats an implausible scenario because that doesnt happen with rationally thinking people. The dudes dumb, his friends dumb. The people in the video did nothing wrong besides not actually calling the police and getting this little rat locked up.
1st of all don't the store have 🎥 to see who really stole the 📱 2nd I would've gone to police 🚨 with those messages and have police meet with him at grocery store even though he had said to come alone then have police ask him where and who gave him the stolen📱 if the guy wasn't guilty why he told the girl to come alone and $200 SMH 😕
+Jojo NuYorican We do have the video from our shop, his friend stole it and sold it to this guy. The thief is in jail already. We did called the cops (read the description) they said they couldn't do anything, they did called him just to tell him to give the phone back but of course he didn't. We called the cops before we were going to meet this guy and they told us that they couldn't go because they don't give support to "sting operations" but said that we could call him if he tried to attack us or if he did something. And yes, he knew it was stolen all the time.
+Tofu Drift Van Sorry for your luck with police assistance but the officer or officers that told you that are entirely wrong. They just didn't want to do the paperwork is all. Like seriously, if you have a video-feed of the incident, that constitutes as irrefutable evidence. Whereas, had you not had evidence, it's all hear-say. It's the same thing when driving with a car dash-cam. If someone hits you and runs off, you can take that to a local precinct, file a claim, they'll investigate and track the car (e.g. license plate, vin number, etc) and charge the individual for a felony. Shoot dude I'm in VA and my friend had her phone stole by a restaurant staff crew. When she located the phone (at it's last location when it was powered on), I memorized the cross streets, typed it up on google maps, and identified what house the phone was stored in. Once we confirmed the GEOINT (e.g. Geospatial Intelligence), we got the warrant. And once the warrant was produced, they raided the house, and found her phone on the 2nd floor bathroom in a 5bd 3ba SFR (e.g. Single Family Residence). PS. Good job helping your friend as I would have suspected he would have tried to play her by robbing her afterwards. #HatsOffToYouMyFriend ;-)
Because he will get arrested for attacking another person, he did the smart choice get the robber on video and some other evidence and that's it he report it to the police.
to be fair this guy in the video is stupid, but not a "scumbag". he is thick for buying stolen stuff, but the person who stole the phone in the first place made 200 bucks off it and got away with it is the real scumbag. EDIT: (to everybody commenting saying "he is obviously the one who stole the phone.) how do you know? all you have got to go on is the person who made the videos word, even though they provide no evidence of it, therefor there is no reason to assume he is lying, I'm not saying he defiantly isn't lying, i'm just saying i'm allowed to have an opinion, and i'm not going to judge somebody on the word of a total stranger that presents no evidence to back up their accusations.
***** I am amazed anyone believes this guy. That is why criminals lie the way they do, they are too accustomed to their excuses working or people politely ignoring the fact that they are lying through their teeth. He keeps one hand planted firmly in his pocket. One hand is on the camera jammer, the other is trying to distract from it. That is why you noticed your camera's picture was blurry, and why he kept coming back to you, and walked up to you and by you. He wanted to be sure the camera was dead and the video gone. But... camera jammers don't work as well as they think they do. Thats what I think he is doing. It looks to me like someone alerts him to your camera as you walk up behind him, or he saw you with it. His buddy was probably there and they had eyes on each other using hand signals, or communication via ear piece. He sticks his hand in his pocket right as you walk up. A very peculiar time to leave yourself with only one hand to defend yourself. When you are surrounded and he can't get close to you, he backs off. Then comes back once you are more in the open. Had you had a different camera, you may have found yourself with a dead camera and no video. Another reason you should have called the police before meeting with him.
They were in a store filled with customers, like the lady with the big tits said "Take this outside", but they weren't interested in fighting, just getting back the phone.
I believe him because it happens to innocent people who buy a used iPhone from a real theft (of course, don't know at first) see the phone is not on Lost / Stolen mode until later on when the owner finally put it on. I will never buy a used iPhone because of this, those days are gone.
The same thing happened to me my sister dropped her phone at the park and someone took it and we were tracking it and put it on lost mode and the person tried to sell it back to us 😹
valamere101 Well actually this channel is a youtuber so I find it highly unlikely that he's the one in the video. Also the way partnerships work is you get a % of the earnings, say if he did make 2100 he would only take home 60-90% (usually the lower one), And finally, there's taxes that would come at the end of the year so. It's not that much but still a sizable amount of money
Any good security app with geo tag location but you need to keep the location and/or internet on all the time or you might not able to track or anything.
I don't think it is a tracking app in the vid tho, I like that it just shows the number and locks the phone. Don't want the tracking apps for the reasons you said
Dylon Desbiens The tracking app can also do that. Im not sure of how it becomes useless as they mentioned but with most of tracking app it can wipe of data before being exploited, lock the phone, sound the alarm and of course tracking. As for the number probably its from the wallpaper. Not sure but i do that for my phone in case it wasnt being stole but lost and someone found it they can call my emergency number right from the wallpaper. Not sure what they use though. Oh and i also believe and assume they still let the internet or the gps on in order for the app to work. Its the basic thing need for something like this unless it can be triggered by a call or text message like how you block your credit card but then again something is required be it internet since its in the system.
I used to work for a city highway litter crew. I would literally find phones everyday. Some worked, some didn't. I found a very nice iphone 6 one day. At that time the iphone6 was brand new. It had a number across the screen that said "if found, please call." I called and talked to the owners husband, who had explained that his wife's car had been vanished, and her purse (with the phone) had been stolen. So they had it shut off, and the apparent thief had just chucked it out a window driving down the highway. The dude was super nice!! He met me on the side of the highway like an hour later, demanded I take $100 cash, and also had brought me 2 large subs from Firehouse because he was a manager there, and gave me an additional $20 gift card for Firehouse. Always best to be honest. You never know what someone needs their phone for.
Smh... he stole your phone and you guys let him go unharmed? I would've gave him a free ticket to the ER. I remember when men used to deal their problems with fists not with police threats.
John cage It doenst compensate to hurt somebody if your going to have police involved, it might get tables inverted on you. As adults, a fight could end up in death or serious consequences pretty easily, broken neck, broken rib stabing the lungs (or even broken teeth which are fking expensive to fix, and he might get you paying it)
+Ethan Fulton exactly, and he asked the woman to meet him alone in a grocery store. If he didn't steal it, they why he acting shady as fuck? I call bullshit on this guy.
Should have called the police in advance for a police report, to get everyone name involved for records, you can then choose to or not to press charges. Unfortunately this guy who had the stolen phone began texting harassing threats, good to file a report just incase.
casttheircrowns Why waste your time, nothing is going to become of it anyway. You will spend more time waiting for the police to get their, they will tell you nothing can be done. Sure write a report and it will be filled like the million other reports under - WASTE OF TIME!!
5 Million views!!! I can't believe it! Thanks everybody for the support. I'll make a response video for those who keep not understanding what happened or keep defending this low life.
you're the lowlife. he obviously had some problem or breakdown in his life that caused him to do the things he did. you are a lowlife for making a video of someones unprivileged and impoverished life
Forget it. Back when this video was published, it was a shitty store with high prices and absolutely no customer service. Crap produce, crap meats, canned goods with an inch of dust on them, cashiers who steal your money, no managers in sight. To be fair, the original owners went out of business and it was sold to someone who knows how to run a market.
I found a ok phone and call the the mother that I found the phone do they want to pick it up at the park they told me yes and the mother and son met me at the park and give me 50 dollars with out asking bc the phone have a lot of pictures of memories of someone that passed away. real good deed unlike that jack@ss lol.
Well done guys! Pls keep this video in case of problems, i'm a cop and i know what i mean... ;-) If you meet him again, don't film it and beat him.... !!!!! Sorry but it's the only way to make them stop... They don't understand justice...
Let the cop do their job dude ok? My name? Badge? Number? Who are you to ask me that??? A lawyer? I think you're just a frustrated asshoIe... I don't have to give you that and i'll never give it to you, understood? If you're against the cops it's ok then don't call us when u need us, k? You will not teach me my job sweetie... I know my job and i do it well! I hope you're not against firemen in case of your hom burns if you have one... Mind your own business, have a drink and watch tv k? Anyway don't disturb me anymore bec i don't have time to waste with faggots like you and i won't answer anymore...
The phone was stolen in a office in the front of a shop? Just curious, why not give video proof he actually stole the phone? I'm not saying he didn't steal the phone and I'm not saying he did. What I am saying is this video is nothing more than a bunch of people yelling and calling a guy a thief without providing any proof. Surely there is a camera setup to watch this "office".
Actually, it doesn't matter all that much. We all know that theft is a crime, either a misdemeanor or felony depending on the value and/or jurisdiction. However, receiving stolen property is also a crime. In most jurisdictions, you can get up to six months in jail for knowingly taking possession of stolen property, regardless of how you obtained it.
That poor employee! Everyone is talking about the scumbag or how the poster might not have done the "right thing", but I feel bad for her. She's just trying to keep the peace.
I find it hard to believe that a robber would be that brazen and adamant about returning a cell phone for money like that.. He seems pretty confident that he has done nothing wrong.. And he does not look mentally insane so Is there any possibility this dude might be telling the truth? Maybe he is just dumb, Maybe he really did buy it off the real thief in an attempt to re-sell it to the owner. Idk
Ronsonn, He may not have stolen the phone. However, a rational person does not pay money for a phone that is not functional without an agenda. So his story is either he's a thief and a liar, or an irrational idiot that then commits extortion. Either way there is no narrative where this kid is in the right.
He really was innocent I mean he did buy the phone without knowing it was stolen so I don't blame him for trying to sell the phone to her it was money he wasted
Way to go!!!! Show thieves they can’t scam people. My phone was stolen from right next to me. I had no insurance at the time. I reported to the police and phone company. I never got it back. I loved that phone but couldn’t get another one
I think he's like a Disney prince. Like the one in Tangled? Just misunderstood, and needing the right girl in his life to show him the error of his ways. And they'll have adventures, and get married, and her long lost Daddy will just happen to be Steve Wozniak, and he can have aaaaall the iPhones he ever wanted. The End.
I kind of believe him. He probably bought it, and the owner contacted him, through an app. And he wanted his money back for what he may have lost. *but then again, I could be wrong*
Tiki Of course you would have, internet gangster. But keep talking reckless like that and one day you'll fuck with the wrong one with nothing to lose. Would you really be willing to die over a shitty phone?
it says "lost phone" that means the person knows its stolen. someone could've found it like it said LOST. technically if you find a wallet or piece of tech you're not required by law to return. with tech tho the original owner will most likely get it back set least now days. he obviously seemed shady but if i find your shit that you mis placed you bet I'm going to ask for a reward for going out of my way plus it was you who foolishly lost it and would've had to pay full price for a new one. chivalry is dead. sorry kind of a tangent and irrelevant ish
Lance Seaman Yeah, my bad. Its been two years since I made this video, maybe I should put a correcting note over the video. But yeah it said Stolen Phone, plus he called my friend and told her everything. He changed his story over the camera thinking we didn't know about his conversation with her.
Some of those sites do care but there is sometimes not a lot they can do. If your phone is stolen you can report its iemi # or serial number to your carrier and there are sites too. When I have bought 2nd hand devices I have asked for those# to check those sites to see if they were lost or stolen. Any hesitation of the seller to share it and I move on.
"Make them pay". For what, holding him accountable for his actions? He doesn't realize how lucky he is to live in a country where people don't beat him to death while cops stand by and watch.
julosx They should, they probably wouldn't care too much if you did. I also doubt a thief would report you for assaulting him if you have evidence that he stole your phone.
For all the people calling him an idiot. You don't know the whole story. This is from the "victims" point of view so obviously it's going to be biased.
Guys obviously a criminal wearing a 1940's cat burglar cap. Suprised he's not carrying a bag with loot written on it.
LoL ikr.
hah good one
+bradlbe fukk those hats really grind my gears
Haha that was really good :-)
+bradlbe LMAO
Who the fuck meets up at a grocery store for something like this....
youve never seen or done a large quantity drug deal have you... you meet in public places like malls, grocery stores, and resurants to ensure no one gets shot or trys to raise a scene
+Chthonian121 Yeah, I mean who hasn't done a large quantity drug deal... pshhhh
+Gabriel Williams I like how pieces of shit just assume anything they watch on TV is real.
+JaZc close... i personally have been in that life though... *gasp* there are ppl who have dealt drugs? yes... i stopped because that isnt a life... i like how dumb peices of shit dont know a damn thing about the people they talk to and just assume... you know what assuming does right? just makes and ass out of u and me ya jackass... and what tv show has ever covered that... and for those that are just to good to do any kind of drug deal with their noses in the air like their shit dont stink how about a break up? public place means a smaller scene from the one your with... dumbasses
+Gabriel Williams I also been down that road and never done such stupid thing, mainly because because of security cameras. Of course I stopped but lol for doing that.
Those guys had alot of self control, hats off to them. I honestly would have chocked him to the floor and asked him did he want to steal another phone...
+Michael Phillips You would probs be in jail then (:
Tayyab Javed Yes, unfortunately. But, honestly i would just have wanted the phone back. The only point i would have snapped was when that guy got loud, other than that I'd just want my phone back and no problems.
It's not self control they're just pussies.
Julian Boffa Probably. The thief looked like a chump, in my opinion if the dude had of smack the living hell out of him one good time, he would be justified, and then the thief should have left with no cops called.
+Julian Boffa No you're just aggressive. Starting a fight when you can easily just get your phone back is useless and will get you in trouble. Two wrongs don't make a right.
4000 thieves disliked this video.
Ashton Evalu && 1million idiots confused liked the vid 😂😂😂
courtney conley How were they confused and how where they idiots? You have the IQ of a malfunctioning toaster if you agree with this absolute scumbag.
you dumb bitch
Ashton Evalu I disliked this video, not because I'm a criminal, I'm 17 years of age. I disliked this video because of the editing of this video. What he did was right, retrieving the phone and that was it. But why in fucks name did they have to keep on slandering him after they retrieved the phone. And maybe the guy did buy the stolen phone off a scumbag of a friend, you have no idea (yes I'm well aware that it says lost phone, but people like these take your money off you before they sell you it just like every other shop in existence, it's not personal, it's just business). Now in my opinion I do believe that the man did steal the phone, however, I feel that the person recording and editing this was equally in the wrong for not dropping the situation after winning, this is what I like to believe as overkill and being a sore winner. You should've took the phone and left, staying and slandering the man after retrieving the phone was extremely unessasary given the fact that the thief was trying to leave the area but you kept on following him to slander him. What that James guy did wasn't wrong at all (now I didn't hear him say anything) but he seemed to look the tallest and the strongest in that group and what he was doing was defending his friends incase the thief would attack them, in my opinion there's nothing wrong with that, he was just there protecting his friends, he wasn't provoking the thief or looking to cause trouble, he was just defending. However, for the cameraman and editor, shame on you for continuously slandering the man after winning the fight. All you were doing was looking to fight and therefore I would place you just as low as the thief was
Hero_ when you have your property stolen with most likely personal content on there such as old family photos, you try to remain calm and collected when the thief has the nerve to attempt and sell it back to you for a set sum of money. I don’t blame the guys for acting how they did. I would too if someone tried to extort me for my own property
The best part of this whole video is that you knew to record with your phone horizontally. You are a true hero and role model to us all. Bravo.
thts the first grocery store i seen with lunch tables😂

+Tofu Drift Van why didn't you just call the cops they would of picked him as he tryed to sell the phone to you its lucky the mall didn't call the cops on for causing trouble
Kappa :>
Thief: I'm gonna call the cops! 😂😂
EngieBear damn he only got one knee...feels bad
He just tried to scare the recorder. Fool thief.
The lie he planned on telling the cops is that he purchased stolen merchandise. Even if they believed that utter BS, legally he'd be entitled to zilch.
I'm pretty sure he bought the phone off of the internet and found out it was stolen, then called the girl
I wanted that big guy to drop him
Aced not big at all just tall
so big
daniel garcia hes alot bigger than the midget who stole their phobe

I believe him because it happens to innocent people who buy a used iPhone from a real theft (of course, don't know at first) see the phone is not on Lost / Stolen mode until later on when the owner finally put it on. I will never buy a used iPhone because of this, those days are gone.
Damn guys... im sorry but im on the other side of the story, i bought an iphone i few days ago, an iphone 6s, but it was working perfectly when i tested it and everything, and it was all fine, the seller lied about the iCloud account it had inside, he said it was his aunts, but obviously it wasn't, as soon as i connected to a wifi i got the find my iphone notification, (i know i was dumb i didn't test that earlier, that was my mistake) so i contacted the owner and gladly gave her the phone back, at least felt amazing knowing i did such a blessing to someone, giving back an stolen phone, even buying it from the robber to give it back, it felt good... but i didn't ask for money... you have nooo... idea how horrible i feel knowing i lost 500 dollars just like that, im trying to contact the guy who sold it to me, but still on it.. wish me luck guys, and i really hope this guy is not in the same situation as me unfortunately.. :( try to think it this way next time you watch the video.
+Harol Pachon but this guy knew this phone was stolen, plus you didn't tried to extort the owner for money. The thief was a friend of him, he always knew it was stolen, that's why he only paid his friend $200 for it.
You're a big dummy spending so much money for a used phone. I don't see why people try hard buying things they can't afford. The simple thing would've been to buy a brand new phone.
+Harol Pachon if he really knew it was stolen he would throw the phone away not talk to the owner and risk getting caught
denis vr6 That's why this is the stupidest thief ever, because he did exactly that, and he even choose a public place which worked in advantage to us instead of him.
+Harol Pachon So only buy new.
Dude1: let him go men.. Let him go..
Dude2: no men.. That's a rare wild pokemon
Waaaaack!
It's actually possible he did buy the phone, it happens alot especially on black market, but this guy looks like a thief
TweetysDen I don't trust the guy either but don't judge a person by his appearance.
Then he would have tipped off the person he bought it from. He could have agreed to help corroborate the whole thing. Most likely they have him on cctv, and possibly recorded his phone calls. Also sending threatening texts didn't help his story of "I bought it from a friend"
+TweetysDen That's true. The phone doesn't even need to be sold on the black market. Stolen phones get sold every single day on ebay, kijiji, and craigslist. However the threatening messages and stuff, he could of went about it differently. Usually with a transaction you will have some sort of proof either texting, phone calls, or email.
+Zolola j
+TweetysDen "Looks like a thief" Holy shit are you actually just said that? You'd be a horrible cop.
The theift gave back the phone and says he's gonna call the cops??? Does he even have a phone?
He does. He just has a flip phone that's why
damn savage
Pay phone lol
His hand.
a banana probably
So, you knew the thief was going to meet you to try to sell the phone back to you. All you needed to do was call the police and have them meet you there. All of the nonsense about the thief buying the phone would have been finished.
Read the description, we did called the cops!!! They said there was nothing they could do.
*****
Tell the police that they are full of shit, and unless they get off their ass and do something you will have your lawyer press charges on their department, and have another department investigate the charges. AND get the badge numbers of the twats who say they cant do anything, and pursue individual criminal charges.
*****
You would be telling me a different story if this happened to you. This is not just a stolen skateboard, or iphone. It is a death threat plain and simple. I dont want to hear your excuses about why the police are not doing their jobs. FUCK their computer work. That is not what WE pay them for. We pay them to protect and serve. If that is too much for them, they should put down the fucking badge, and walk away. My fathers car was stolen by a bunch of drug adddict teenagers. Ya know, GrandTheftAuto. A felony. They gave him the same bullshit 'there is nothing we can do.' Yet a kid throws a rock at a house, and they send at least 2 cars to patrol our entire neighborhood for hours. Stop with the excuses.
Degenerate999 Yes, spend thousands on lawyers and other departments just to get a $200 phone back. Legal system is entirely fucking useless and sometimes you just need to take matters into your own hands. My two hands have done more for me than the legal system.
*****
When I lived in South Korea CSI came to our house when we were burglarized. They recovered EVERYTHING! Even my cash. American police are just lazy fucking pigs.
*I DID NAHT STEAL THE PHONE, I DID NAHT, I DID NAAAHHTT---Oh hi Mark.*
Best comment ever!!!!
KateDoesStuffYT 😂😂😂😂😂😂
It's not true, it's bullshit.
you shouldve had the police come and meet him there. if the phone was stolen and the prrof is that it says lost phone/stolen phone, and he was in possession of it, the police wouldve arrested him on the spot for possesion of stolen property. but you just let him leave and you could be in danger because of the fact he is still out there.
jesseg1699 nahh
jesseg1699 knowing how the police are they would of said something like "there's nothing we can do " that's what they always say .
your stupid

That's EXACTLY what I was thinking! I was hoping for a prank video from him LOL

+Vault Boy maybe he's really that thief
Terminally Chill he wanted a freeby or sumthin
"Let's get our stuff"
No wonder they get stolen
yeah, I was so worried that somebody could steal some half eaten tacos and an opened soda (you know, our stuff)
+Tofu Drift Van Well you left 2 wallets and a phone at your arse you deserve to have things stolen if you leave them lying about. I would have cut my losses with the phone and just kept the contents of the wallets for myself.
trip2themoon No I didn't. It was my friend. Also it was at his desk inside his shop, which is not open to the public. The thief got inside the shop and grabbed them.
BTW, your morals are ethically impeccable! You must be such a role model.
+Tofu Drift Van How did he get so much time and access if they locked away in a bit away from the public? I smell bullshit. Don't make things easy for thieves, it's that simple. If people leave things lying around, taking them is a good way to teach them not to be complacent in the future.
+trip2themoon I'm sorry, you just don't understand. It doesn't matter how I explain it you still will think it's my friends fault for not being on a constant state of paranoia.
Have a good one.
Respect to the guy behind the camera for being calm
"Get away or were calling the cops" omfg everyone acts like the cops are supposed to be the big bad ass heroes. No a cop is just a normal person with a badge. Handle your problems and quit acting like cops do the dirty work for you
I'm with you. The cops don't give a shit about you petty civil problems.
Jonathan Mitchell Petty? Theft is a common offence that's dealt by the force on a daily basis! Moreover, If someone threatens you, or someone you love, action needs to be taken! Petty my ass!
Jonathan Mitchell You're dumb as fuck!
You aren't allowed to do anything by yourself anymore in this society. If the cops aren't involved then, then they will be involved against you afterward.
Anybody can enforce a law. You don't need a badge to enforce the law. That's called citizens arrest. Keeping them there untill some other pig comes along and traps then in a cell against there will. Not being left alone and having to deal with fines and other bullshit 😒 God I hate this fucking world
2:10 "I'll call the cops right now".......see, now being the funny, silly goose that I am......this is where I would have said to him, 'you can't call the cops , you don't have a phone'
You're brilliant. XD
just front him and say when he tried to call "Wanna use mine? PSYCHE!!!"
also, would have said, no ones accused you of stealing the phone, we just want it back.. i do apologize, but the purchase of the phone was your own undoing, the phone is ours.. called the cops whilst he was busy talking himself out of a hole and let the cops deal with it.. kept him busy until they arrived.. boom.. and there goes the dynamite.
They should have called the cops right off the bat. Get the phone and let the cops sort out his bullshit. *IF* he is telling the truth about buying it from a friend, than he cops can ask who his friend is and they can go talk to his friend about the stolen property. BUT, if nothing else it might (rather laughable with idiots like him) might, get him to rethink stealing stuff.
Silly Goose I just got up to that part when I read ur comment😂
Yo, this guy's hands and literally spazzing. xD His arms are flying around the place.
You know what they should do? Once the cops arrive, take him to the phone store and make him watch as she turns the phone back on. If it has all her stuff, arrest him
so.......umm..what happened to the wallets?
+Armond Nero I might have an answer to that, theoretical of course: the wallets had little to no value and either had no money or anything else of major value that couldn't be replaced. In all likelihood, they were inexpensive and they probably canceled any credit/bank cards and got reissued licences quickly. Asking him to give any of that back would be a waste because the contents would be thrown away and all floating cash would be nearly unidentifiable.
+Dax Orien True.
+Armond Nero Very good question. There's something very wrong with this whole thing. The more I think about it, the more I believe this is all one big act. I think all these morons know each other, and are putting on a phony show.
+startazz exactly.
You are right, I would want to beat the living shit out of that little shit robber, but in reality if I did, in a situation like that, the way the laws are so fucked up now, I would go to jail and the idiot would walk away free.
respect to the owners who kept it calm
Thank you, it was very hard.
Samantha Rose u guys are different,I saw all u wanted was the phone back,i would have kicked his head in,still,respect,the world needs peaceful ppl like u guys

lol why didn't the guy just walk away when he found out they had the phone?
Nope bcuz he don't know password phone is useless to him . or maybe he was in need of money instead of phone
Wait how did he got her number?
Usman Tariq on iPhones there's an app called "Find My iPhone" it tracks your phone and you can press this button where it says lost phone and you can put a personalized message and put a phone number where they can reach you so you can get your phone back

+ETS210 that's so racist dude...
+Lewis Sinclair fuck it Just saying the truth
I honestly see no reason to automatically assume that this guy is the thief. He had possession of stolen property, yes, but his story does actually hold up as a cause for reasonable doubt. A "friend" of his could have sold it for $200 to him, only for him to find out about the thief lock app whereupon he called the listed return number. Having just been scammed out of two hundred bucks, it's not entirely unreasonable to want to recuperate his losses. It's not FULLY reasonable to do what he did, but there is at least some level of reasoning behind it. Given his apparel and speech pattern, he most likely isn't educated enough to fully understand why this was a bad idea.
Was what he did totally wrong? Was the owner of the phone in the right for threatening him with police involvement? Maybe he's just a thief coming up with excuses. I don't know, and neither do you. Either way, pushing your own narrative when there is more than one possibility from the evidence in this way isn't really right.
+Bachri Blank Selling stolen goods is against the law in the first place. No matter if he was the thief or not, stop trying to push your narrative that the dude is innocent. Thief or not he was in the wrong, if he wanted his 200 dollars back he should get it from his "friend".
Pixel454 I never said that he was "innocent," but that there is no valid reason to make him out to be the thief with a 100% chance. And who is to say he hasn't already tried to get that money back? You don't quite seem to understand how things go with the down-and-out. Assuming that he actually does have a friend whom has sold the phone to him, which is still not an invalid point due to our limited knowledge of the situation, it's plausible that the guy sold him the phone based on trust. The phone gets shown while turned off, money and item exchange hands, then the man in the video finds out it's stolen AFTER receiving it. Then he either tries to get his money back from his friend or calls up the number on the app.
Look at the guy's clothes, his mannerisms, in the wrong or not he's either homeless or a druggie. Possibly both, but as long as his story holds up, two hundred dollars is a massive, *MASSIVE* amount of cash for someone like that. If he was willing to spend that on a phone, then that should show that he's trying to get out of that kind of life. Do you have any idea how difficult it is to do that? A working phone is a massive step in the right direction, but nearly impossible to obtain when in poverty.
And yes, I do realize I'm making a ton of assertions and pushing a narrative. Wanna know why? Because I'm proving a point. That point is that these possibilities are all valid, all of the possibilities that YOU come up with are equally valid, NONE OF US CAN KNOW FOR SURE!
Bachri Blank I'm not saying he is or isn't the thief, i was talking about the situation at hand, he was willingly and knowingly trying to sell stolen property. This is against the law. He broke the law. He's in the wrong be it a thief or not, as you said, thats unknowable.
Pixel454 "Having just been scammed out of two hundred bucks, it's not entirely unreasonable to want to recuperate his losses. It's not FULLY reasonable to do what he did, but there is at least some level of reasoning behind it"
Bachri Blank Still breaking the law. The only rational thing to do is to give the phone back and demand money from whoever sold it to him. If i broke into your house, stole your pc, gave it to a friend who tried to sell it back to you, you might understand. But thats an implausible scenario because that doesnt happen with rationally thinking people. The dudes dumb, his friends dumb. The people in the video did nothing wrong besides not actually calling the police and getting this little rat locked up.
Please do a follow-up, did he get arrested for the threats??
Nope
1st of all don't the store have 🎥 to see who really stole the 📱 2nd I would've gone to police 🚨 with those messages and have police meet with him at grocery store even though he had said to come alone then have police ask him where and who gave him the stolen📱 if the guy wasn't guilty why he told the girl to come alone and $200 SMH 😕
+Jojo NuYorican We do have the video from our shop, his friend stole it and sold it to this guy. The thief is in jail already. We did called the cops (read the description) they said they couldn't do anything, they did called him just to tell him to give the phone back but of course he didn't. We called the cops before we were going to meet this guy and they told us that they couldn't go because they don't give support to "sting operations" but said that we could call him if he tried to attack us or if he did something. And yes, he knew it was stolen all the time.
+Tofu Drift Van Oh I see my bad 👍👏
Jojo NuYorican It's all good!! :)
+Tofu Drift Van NP 😁
+Tofu Drift Van Sorry for your luck with police assistance but the officer or officers that told you that are entirely wrong. They just didn't want to do the paperwork is all. Like seriously, if you have a video-feed of the incident, that constitutes as irrefutable evidence. Whereas, had you not had evidence, it's all hear-say. It's the same thing when driving with a car dash-cam. If someone hits you and runs off, you can take that to a local precinct, file a claim, they'll investigate and track the car (e.g. license plate, vin number, etc) and charge the individual for a felony.
Shoot dude I'm in VA and my friend had her phone stole by a restaurant staff crew. When she located the phone (at it's last location when it was powered on), I memorized the cross streets, typed it up on google maps, and identified what house the phone was stored in. Once we confirmed the GEOINT (e.g. Geospatial Intelligence), we got the warrant. And once the warrant was produced, they raided the house, and found her phone on the 2nd floor bathroom in a 5bd 3ba SFR (e.g. Single Family Residence).
PS. Good job helping your friend as I would have suspected he would have tried to play her by robbing her afterwards. #HatsOffToYouMyFriend ;-)
why didn't you punch him in the mouth?!?!?
Because he will get arrested for attacking another person, he did the smart choice get the robber on video and some other evidence and that's it he report it to the police.
Definitely has a lot more self control than me.....
Trevor Cory yeah bro, you probably would "wreck the dude". Just wipe the floor with him huh... you're so tough
No shit. You're the biggest fuck giraffe in the dumb dumb salad :P
MasatouKun stabbing someone in a public area for stealing a phone? That would get you life in prison over a fucking phone, so stupid
to be fair this guy in the video is stupid, but not a "scumbag". he is thick for buying stolen stuff, but the person who stole the phone in the first place made 200 bucks off it and got away with it is the real scumbag. EDIT: (to everybody commenting saying "he is obviously the one who stole the phone.) how do you know? all you have got to go on is the person who made the videos word, even though they provide no evidence of it, therefor there is no reason to assume he is lying, I'm not saying he defiantly isn't lying, i'm just saying i'm allowed to have an opinion, and i'm not going to judge somebody on the word of a total stranger that presents no evidence to back up their accusations.
They were buddies, he knew the phone was stolen. They are both scumbags
*****
I am amazed anyone believes this guy. That is why criminals lie the way they do, they are too accustomed to their excuses working or people politely ignoring the fact that they are lying through their teeth. He keeps one hand planted firmly in his pocket. One hand is on the camera jammer, the other is trying to distract from it. That is why you noticed your camera's picture was blurry, and why he kept coming back to you, and walked up to you and by you. He wanted to be sure the camera was dead and the video gone. But... camera jammers don't work as well as they think they do. Thats what I think he is doing.
It looks to me like someone alerts him to your camera as you walk up behind him, or he saw you with it. His buddy was probably there and they had eyes on each other using hand signals, or communication via ear piece. He sticks his hand in his pocket right as you walk up. A very peculiar time to leave yourself with only one hand to defend yourself.
When you are surrounded and he can't get close to you, he backs off. Then comes back once you are more in the open. Had you had a different camera, you may have found yourself with a dead camera and no video. Another reason you should have called the police before meeting with him.
You don't really believe the "I bought it from another guy" story, do you? HE stole the phone and HE tried to sell it back to the owner.
Are you trying to point out Communism by having the cuban revolution leader Che guevara as your profile photo?

"I paid money for the phone" ...well, paying money for stolen goods doesn't make them yours. ;-)
it's called receiving stolen property
I believe him because it happens to innocent people who buy a used iPhone from a real theft (of course, don't know at first) see the phone is not on Lost / Stolen mode until later on when the owner finally put it on. I will never buy a used iPhone because of this, those days are gone.
No if you pay for it it's yours even if it's stolen moron. They should have gave him the $200 dollars.
The same thing happened to me my sister dropped her phone at the park and someone took it and we were tracking it and put it on lost mode and the person tried to sell it back to us 😹

The NERVE of that crook, claiming that he paid for the phone and wants his $200 back.
You let him off WAYYY too easy. He needed to be taken by the police immediately.
Why TF would you ever let someone like this walk freely!? 🤦🤦🤦🤦
Because the creep would be free within 48 hours and then someone that evil and unrepentant probably WOULD try to exact revenge.
he made al least 2100$ off this vid
i know
valamere101 Well actually this channel is a youtuber so I find it highly unlikely that he's the one in the video. Also the way partnerships work is you get a % of the earnings, say if he did make 2100 he would only take home 60-90% (usually the lower one), And finally, there's taxes that would come at the end of the year so. It's not that much but still a sizable amount of money
what a buzzkiller...
Lol no he didn't
Austin demo Yes there is advertisement on this video, that means the uploader is getting paid. 2100$ for 2+ million views is accurate,
What's the phone app called to make the phone useless?
Dylon Desbiens I really wanna know too ;-;
Any good security app with geo tag location but you need to keep the location and/or internet on all the time or you might not able to track or anything.
I don't think it is a tracking app in the vid tho, I like that it just shows the number and locks the phone. Don't want the tracking apps for the reasons you said
Dylon Desbiens The tracking app can also do that. Im not sure of how it becomes useless as they mentioned but with most of tracking app it can wipe of data before being exploited, lock the phone, sound the alarm and of course tracking. As for the number probably its from the wallpaper. Not sure but i do that for my phone in case it wasnt being stole but lost and someone found it they can call my emergency number right from the wallpaper. Not sure what they use though. Oh and i also believe and assume they still let the internet or the gps on in order for the app to work. Its the basic thing need for something like this unless it can be triggered by a call or text message like how you block your credit card but then again something is required be it internet since its in the system.
Sounds good thanks for the speedy reply.
I used to work for a city highway litter crew. I would literally find phones everyday. Some worked, some didn't. I found a very nice iphone 6 one day. At that time the iphone6 was brand new. It had a number across the screen that said "if found, please call." I called and talked to the owners husband, who had explained that his wife's car had been vanished, and her purse (with the phone) had been stolen. So they had it shut off, and the apparent thief had just chucked it out a window driving down the highway. The dude was super nice!! He met me on the side of the highway like an hour later, demanded I take $100 cash, and also had brought me 2 large subs from Firehouse because he was a manager there, and gave me an additional $20 gift card for Firehouse. Always best to be honest. You never know what someone needs their phone for.
That's a nice looking grocery store, what kind is it?
Rick Rivera
Ranch market 😀
Rancho markets
(JOKE)
Taco Nukes
3k dislikes all from the thief!
Smh... he stole your phone and you guys let him go unharmed? I would've gave him a free ticket to the ER. I remember when men used to deal their problems with fists not with police threats.
How old are you, like 14? You sure remember those good old times, lol
my friend had his shit stolen, went to his house with a baseball bat.
Let's just say the guy who stole his shit walks with a limp
John cage It doenst compensate to hurt somebody if your going to have police involved, it might get tables inverted on you. As adults, a fight could end up in death or serious consequences pretty easily, broken neck, broken rib stabing the lungs (or even broken teeth which are fking expensive to fix, and he might get you paying it)
Braindead Cartoons i agree with you but everybody is different. some report crimes, some solve crimes
Legend has it James still has not let it go.
"I BOUGHT THIS PHONE WITH MY MONEY"
So you bought the phone and now your going to
SELL IT?
+Ethan Fulton exactly, and he asked the woman to meet him alone in a grocery store. If he didn't steal it, they why he acting shady as fuck? I call bullshit on this guy.
And he's acting like a gangster wanna be
+Ethan Fulton dope name
+Ethan Henderson You to m8
Uhh he probably did, he bought it off a junkie, realized he cant do shit with it and now he wants to get un fucked.
Should have called the police in advance for a police report, to get everyone name involved for records, you can then choose to or not to press charges. Unfortunately this guy who had the stolen phone began texting harassing threats, good to file a report just incase.
She called the police and there wasn't even any law enforcement. So to most it looks like a blind date or cheaters.
casttheircrowns Why waste your time, nothing is going to become of it anyway. You will spend more time waiting for the police to get their, they will tell you nothing can be done. Sure write a report and it will be filled like the million other reports under
- WASTE OF TIME!!
5 Million views!!! I can't believe it!
Thanks everybody for the support. I'll make a response video for those who keep not understanding what happened or keep defending this low life.
Nice
what a dumb ass trying sell a stolen phone then turns to a complete stalker wanna be I really hope that guy loves being behind bars
No we don't. GTFO wimp.
+freebird0147 no one here is a wimp so why should we listen to you
you're the lowlife. he obviously had some problem or breakdown in his life that caused him to do the things he did. you are a lowlife for making a video of someones unprivileged and impoverished life
legend has it he never got away and he called the cops.
That's a cool grocery store I would shop the fuck out of it
thedevil with your tongue?
ranch market
Forget it. Back when this video was published, it was a shitty store with high prices and absolutely no customer service. Crap produce, crap meats, canned goods with an inch of dust on them, cashiers who steal your money, no managers in sight.
To be fair, the original owners went out of business and it was sold to someone who knows how to run a market.
they should adda hostage phone exchange scenario like this to Rainbow six seige
+Dip333 Just two groups of dudes yelling at each other over Xbox Live "Let it go, dude!"
+WhaspTV 😂😂😂
+WhaspTV 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
lmfao
Lol
This is the other reason they make baseball bats
I found a ok phone and call the the mother that I found the phone do they want to pick it up at the park they told me yes and the mother and son met me at the park and give me 50 dollars with out asking bc the phone have a lot of pictures of memories of someone that passed away. real good deed unlike that jack@ss lol.
See now this is understandable!
Well done guys! Pls keep this video in case of problems, i'm a cop and i know what i mean... ;-) If you meet him again, don't film it and beat him.... !!!!! Sorry but it's the only way to make them stop... They don't understand justice...
Let the cop do their job dude ok? My name? Badge? Number? Who are you to ask me that??? A lawyer? I think you're just a frustrated asshoIe... I don't have to give you that and i'll never give it to you, understood? If you're against the cops it's ok then don't call us when u need us, k? You will not teach me my job sweetie... I know my job and i do it well! I hope you're not against firemen in case of your hom burns if you have one... Mind your own business, have a drink and watch tv k? Anyway don't disturb me anymore bec i don't have time to waste with faggots like you and i won't answer anymore...
Wow! You seem to be so intelligent! Why don't you do it yourself???
No answer???? Go to hell son of a bitch!
Wow....... The person deleted their reply. They're scared :)
#FUKDAHPOPO #THUGLIFE #GBE
The phone was stolen in a office in the front of a shop? Just curious, why not give video proof he actually stole the phone? I'm not saying he didn't steal the phone and I'm not saying he did. What I am saying is this video is nothing more than a bunch of people yelling and calling a guy a thief without providing any proof. Surely there is a camera setup to watch this "office".
+Justin “Veridiux” Harden On second thought, what if this whole thing was just a internet scam to get views and everyone was in on it. Well played...
Actually, it doesn't matter all that much. We all know that theft is a crime, either a misdemeanor or felony depending on the value and/or jurisdiction. However, receiving stolen property is also a crime. In most jurisdictions, you can get up to six months in jail for knowingly taking possession of stolen property, regardless of how you obtained it.
Wow, there are little kids in the store. Such a role model
What was the point if you were not there to kick his ass?
+SS Trey right? boring as fuck video
The tricky tick you make no sense....the guy tried extortion and even made a threat....all they did was show up with a camera
jesse selinger then what was the point of making the video...you think they "taught him a lesson"?
He didnt steal it are you stupid
To gather further evidence to use in court against someone who committed a felony. iPhones cost over $500 at the apple store, so that's grand theft.
What app is that i want it😂
Its Find My phone only on Apple sorry :)
RX_Enigma __ fuck I have android😣
+Sheldon pekelo :/
+Sheldon pekelo use android device manager by google or lookout
Ray Nyaigoti oh okay thanks
What if..maybe he's really an idiot which bought the phone from his smart friend at lesser than 200... If is 100..He would earn twice the amount...
Really??😂
I know right, who the fuck sits there looking for emojis to put in there. Say the fucking words.
It's still a crime. Possession of stolen property.
Be smart when buying things online.
that still doesnt change the fact he bought a stolen phone
khoruyi and threaten the girl if she was my friend I would our other friends have them get ready to beat this guy up
That poor employee! Everyone is talking about the scumbag or how the poster might not have done the "right thing", but I feel bad for her. She's just trying to keep the peace.
What's the app called on his phone to prevent the stealer unlocking or something?
Find my iphone
+Steve Rodgers that doesn't do all the things he said it does though
+Cific yes it does
I personally use Lookout, because there's a function where I can have the phone make a very loud alarm while its locked
Pretty sure it's Find My IPhone :)
Wut happened to da 2 wallets?
I find it hard to believe that a robber would be that brazen and adamant about returning a cell phone for money like that.. He seems pretty confident that he has done nothing wrong.. And he does not look mentally insane so Is there any possibility this dude might be telling the truth?
Maybe he is just dumb, Maybe he really did buy it off the real thief in an attempt to re-sell it to the owner. Idk
Ronsonn,
He may not have stolen the phone. However, a rational person does not pay money for a phone that is not functional without an agenda. So his story is either he's a thief and a liar, or an irrational idiot that then commits extortion. Either way there is no narrative where this kid is in the right.
He was pretty dumb indeed
You find it hard to believe that someone who robs people for supplementary income is also liar? That's strange.
***** The app "also displays a phone number to call to return the phone." 0:11
Ronsonn Swandom I really think you're overestimating the intelligence level of a petty thief.
so, there's still 2 wallets stolen and some guy threatening your life still on the streets. great job.
That's Roman Atwood!!!
and yet the iPhone is robbing them both and getting away with it :-D
The guy might not have stolen
The phone....Might have just bought a phone that someone was selling on Craigslist?
People like this are making me lose faith in humanity.
He really was innocent I mean he did buy the phone without knowing it was stolen so I don't blame him for trying to sell the phone to her it was money he wasted
no, he knew it was stolen when he bought it.
He didn't buy it.. He used that as a cover story.. He stole it and said he bought it
Innocent??? Are you frekin' kidding me???
Idiot child.
Your a fuken idiot how old are you??? Lmao😂😂 I would have called the cops on the spot
this would have been a lot more interesting if it were between two sets of black people...
dats rasicisicst
Damn right
Resse_ they aren't prone to violence they are pressured to violence by society.
XD pressured? no it would of got violent for no reason get ur facts right no one is pressured to fight its there choice
+DizastermasterGaming ahahahahaha! Moron
defintely recognize that store. Pro Ranch Market, in Abq, NM
Phoenix, AZ
looks like "Mi Tienda" in Houston, TX. looks exactly the same lol
Thought it was las cruces, NM?
they have these in Phoenix
DjSpinzLaden its in phoenix
Way to go!!!! Show thieves they can’t scam people. My phone was stolen from right next to me. I had no insurance at the time. I reported to the police and phone company. I never got it back. I loved that phone but couldn’t get another one
girl looked pretty cute sad this is 3years ago
I think he's like a Disney prince. Like the one in Tangled? Just misunderstood, and needing the right girl in his life to show him the error of his ways. And they'll have adventures, and get married, and her long lost Daddy will just happen to be Steve Wozniak, and he can have aaaaall the iPhones he ever wanted. The End.
Hahahahahaha
+Tofu Drift Van maybe he did steal the phone or maybe he didn't.,, please don't do these kind of videos again
Asad Syed why?
Ralph from my name is earl stealing phones now
that's what I thought!
still shouldn't sell it back to the original owner because you got screw
He sure is good buddy
I kind of believe him. He probably bought it, and the owner contacted him, through an app. And he wanted his money back for what he may have lost. *but then again, I could be wrong*
The inside looks like el rancho (ง ˙ω˙)ว
its a Ranch Market
lmao fr, reminds me of el rancho
The same thing I thought, I was like are they in Texas? lol
El Rancho market or La Vallarta
Fuck ranch market, puro Frys alv!!!
i would of said"admit to it and we wont break your fucking legs"
Tiki Of course you would have, internet gangster. But keep talking reckless like that and one day you'll fuck with the wrong one with nothing to lose. Would you really be willing to die over a shitty phone?
Wrath of Vaughn xD
Tiki Also, if they said that, they would be the ones in trouble.
A.S. MC yea i guess, i was kinda joking anyway lol
Trinexx007 like I said, I wasn't really being serious lol.
it says "lost phone" that means the person knows its stolen. someone could've found it like it said LOST. technically if you find a wallet or piece of tech you're not required by law to return. with tech tho the original owner will most likely get it back set least now days. he obviously seemed shady but if i find your shit that you mis placed you bet I'm going to ask for a reward for going out of my way plus it was you who foolishly lost it and would've had to pay full price for a new one. chivalry is dead. sorry kind of a tangent and irrelevant ish
the message said Stolen Phone tho, not lost phone.
+Tofu Drift Van. 1:20 the subtitles say the phone says "LOST PHONE" on the screen. but like i said the guy is acting shady either way
Lance Seaman Yeah, my bad. Its been two years since I made this video, maybe I should put a correcting note over the video. But yeah it said Stolen Phone, plus he called my friend and told her everything. He changed his story over the camera thinking we didn't know about his conversation with her.
+Tofu Drift Van hey is this in AZ?
dereck rygwalski Yes.
It's interesting how angry people get when they get called out for doing something wrong/stupid. I see it all the time on the road as well.
What kind of potato did you film this with?
I believe it has an Idaho, but I could be mistaken it for a Yukon Gold.
XD
lmfao.
My iphone 6 only films in 240 pixels. I have no idea why. XD
Perhaps it too is an Idaho potato.
Alexandra Lee check your camera settings. It's in the actual settings and you can choose the option at what to record at
Holy fuckin' shit I know this guy! He was my landlord just a year ago, he was always high as shit on PCP!
Joey Godin here in phoenix??
No, he's here in Montreal now.
Joey Godin what's his name??
DJ Nadeau
I highly doubt this is the same guy.
He doesn't come off as a person who has EVER owned land, let alone land with an entire apartment complex on it.
He had a stolen phone and didnt do anything wrong...... Ummm recieving stolen property is a crime in all 50 states
Mike Parks right?
Mike Parks tell that to ebay, Craigslist, and FB Marketplace I'm sure
They will understand
When said phone or device is bought second hand
Some of those sites do care but there is sometimes not a lot they can do. If your phone is stolen you can report its iemi # or serial number to your carrier and there are sites too. When I have bought 2nd hand devices I have asked for those# to check those sites to see if they were lost or stolen. Any hesitation of the seller to share it and I move on.
"Make them pay". For what, holding him accountable for his actions? He doesn't realize how lucky he is to live in a country where people don't beat him to death while cops stand by and watch.
Was this necessary to record this? Like he stolen the iphone5s big deal just deal with it you don't need to record it and put it on TH-cam. 😒
Lol its a huge deal plus he stole their wallets
lol my name goes with your mom.
+Mike Mathews The cops don't give two shits about stolen phones. Trust me, they just write it off.
+WolfPresident If you're right then the cops should let us kick the stealer dirty ass.
julosx They should, they probably wouldn't care too much if you did. I also doubt a thief would report you for assaulting him if you have evidence that he stole your phone.
Its funny the things stupid ppl say when there put on the spot. Ya u paid your own money right!
ok so the guys told the girl's phone but somehow the guy could still texted her while she had no phone? 🙃 illuminati confirmed
+Cheesy Potato no, the number for the return was her boyfriend's number, lol
Lol 😂
yes
there was a number they could call, it was probably one of her friends' phone numbers
Long time no see, mi brotha
For all the people calling him an idiot. You don't know the whole story. This is from the "victims" point of view so obviously it's going to be biased.
10$ to the person who has their name and can prove it.
That's right.. Im putting a bounty on this fartnugget.
Timo Majere i wipe my ass with $10
So? Its not like either of you will do anything about it anyways.. so instead of being chumps yourself.. either find a name or shut up about it.
Relax rambo
