1) Goto a popular tourist hotspot.
2) Find a group of about 10+ people with one of them taking a photo of the group.
3) Approach the one with the phone, who is about to miss out on appearing in the group shot, and ask loudly and clearly 'Would you like me to take it?"
4) When they say 'Yes' and hand you the phone, just fuck off with it as fast as possible...
5) Should the police get involved, you have a large group of witnesses who would have to swear under oath that when you asked to 'Take' the phone, that the owner said yes and gave it to you...
Free Phone, no laws broken and totally legal cause you asked first
