kids are always with their cellphones in hand, flaunting it ...

Their fault ....


/sarcasm: need to blame the victim, as per the script....

Anytime, eggplant.

Phone snatching was on a roll here a little while ago. Still happening but not as extreme as before. I usually tell any of my visitors with an iPhone to keep it on the down low when their not with me (bus, train etc...) as the urge to snatch/run with the Superior device makes sense. Personally I flash my shit everywhere cause I would enjoy some punk making an effort but they always go for nerds or women cause their pussy ass crooks. Android/Windows devices are pretty safe. :winkwink:

I know a guy that works at a cell phone repair shop. He said people are coming in all the time with stolen phone issues. He said the new laws regarding antitheft tools on the phones have been helping a lot though.

Think ya would need like 100 cell phone snatchers in a week to get shot in face multiple times to deter it well enough. Maybe strategically place the iPhone in the pool of blood from their cranium for the evening news.

Sad ya even have to think about what your doing with something as common as using a phone. But anyone that lives in a major city and has to roll on a public bus/train or walk through certain areas kinda gotta use street smarts/city sense.

I've never left Chicago and I've never been robbed/mugged etc... so it's kinda like my antivirus system is on full guard and all strangers are scamming cocksuckers until they prove their not. Where a tourist might have their guard down thinking life is all butterflies and rainbows until their at the police station reporting a theft. Gotta adapt your defense to your surroundings as major cities are more fun, more to do etc... but attract a good handful of scamming assholes as well as there is more prey for them to choose from so it's easier to pick a weaker victim.

Well said, and I quite agree.

In London, Ontario we had a young guy who lost his cell in a taxi but he'd installed a tracking app. He was able to trace the phone to a parked car with three people in it at a plaza. When he approached the vehicle, they shot and killed the kid...then took off.

Story

Moral to the story - even with a tracking app installed...unless you're Chuck Norris it's not always a good idea to go looking for it yourself. As reluctant as I am these days to get cops involved in anything...it's your safest bet.

Yeah that's fucked up. Can see a snatch/run mentality for a broke loser. But killing someone over a phone takes it into mental zone. Kid should have called for backup before the approach and if they didn't show up in time just jot the license plate number down. But then again with the adrenaline rush kid probably thought I might get my ass kicked but unlikely he thought he'd die over the shit. Sadly underestimated the mental state of the scum bucket. :2 cents:

You're a cantaloupe. :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

The word coonadian will now live forever.

These guys already coined it.

I learned 2 new words today:
coonadian and spade :winkwink:

I must have already knew them, after all I am waciss as board's anti whiters would claim :1orglaugh
Bad waciss, not even knowing such popular terms :(:1orglaugh

There'll be no quiz...honest. :winkwink:

Best part of that story is when the cops tracked the guy down and had him cornered he panicked and jumped in a river and drowned.

You can track / wipe an iPhone from icloud anytime, no install needed, its hardware based and can't be removed.

pretty sure you can do the same with g6s at: https://findmymobile.samsung.com/mindex.jsp
no install needed, just your imei number which rogers/telus/bell can give you if you no longer have the box.

The first rule of an escape attempt by water - know how to swim. :1orglaugh

Fail.

GFY is immortal :2 cents:.

well racism because you're hurting :2 cents:

I know your daughter has lost her phone, she hasn't been hurt physically, hoping, as said in my last post, her mental state is good.

However, I didn't think GFY tolerated racism, shame on those.... you know, enough white people, US, UK, europeans, rape, beat, torture & steal! Enough on the black comments & posts :disgust

Digressing for a moment from the thread...I was curious as to the actual reasons why black people don't tend to swim.

Not that I've given it much thought previous. I'd have said maybe they're less bouyant...or Afro Sheen leaves behind a slick...not many pools adjacent to cotton fields...they're already dark, so no need to tan at the beach. Swimming isn't needed when running from cops.

Some interestin' (and amusing) articles on Google search.

Seems to be a cultural thing going back to segregation and white-only pools - that tends to be the popular excuse.

Don't assume to know the basis for my outlook. A stolen cellphone is symptomatic of a larger, and growing systemic problem.

Physically, she is unharmed. Mentally and emotionally - to put it bluntly, she's now scared shitless to ride public transit to and from work late at night. She's having to look into other more costly transportation options.

Tolerance and silence makes us sheep. The bad people in this world rely on that. Until I see any sign of a progressive shift towards the positive...I remain on my (crowded) soapbox.

But I appreciate the well-wish comments and concern you've made regarding my daughter.

Of course its white guy's fault. Who else should be teaching your kids manners, education or swimming lessons? Parents? I don't think it is parental responsibility to do so.

They would be doing you a massive favour :2 cents:

@OP - sorry to hear, only thing that matters is your daughter was not hurt. A phone can be replaced, just an object...

The only thing black people do outdoors is stand on a corner or sit on a porch.. They don't swim.. You won't find them in the woods hiking.. They don't go camping or visit the national parks..

They play sports like b ball or football and that's their outdoors activity.

They were actually talking about this on pBS the other night. It's not just blacks but also Hispanics.

So all you people whom whine about minorities, just visit a National Park and it's all white people..

:thumbsup:1orglaugh

Now that you mention it...true.

I hike and mountain bike our local trails all the time. Can't think of a single time I've encountered a black person.

Probably explains why I still have my cellphone.

Well played sir... Well played

*Update*

Just had a long conversation with the daughter and heard more details.

Cops have very clear video footage of this person's face - both on the bus and at the bus terminal where he got off. They were able to track the SGS6 with the IMEI coding to the terminal - and blacklisted/wiped the cell remotely.

Even with the SIMM removed - the cell is still a brick. It can't be turned on or re-activated, unlocked or another SIMM added. And the moment it's turned on, police are able to track it again.

So...odds are the phone will be ditched and cops say she only has a 5% chance of seeing it again - but she's gone to her doctor about a stress/anxiety attack she's had and cops can file 7 additional charges on him for that if he's caught.

It's been an interestin' experience...

Wouldn't it be better not to blacklist it in order to track it when he uses it?

Ruined ErectMedia's wet dream about superior iphone :1orglaugh

By the way - smart cookie robbing under the cameras.

From what the cops told her, apparently it can still be tracked even with it blacklisted.

:1orglaugh

Yeah, not only the bus cam, but all the bus terminal security cams, too. Fuckin' dumbass jigaboo.

Gotta be an early April 1st joke. :1orglaugh :thumbsup

Look's like if ya get 128 GB version full retail is $799.00 where my iPhone 6 128 GB full retail is $849.99 so guess priced high enough for someone to still wanna steal it even though it's the inferior device. :winkwink:

I couldn't figure out why people would take these knowing they can be bricked or tracked.

But they're worth quite a bit stripped down like a car and sold for parts, even in non usable condition.

Read your post from my iPhone but switched to my iMac because it has a nicer screen. Decided to respond via iPad, because, well, why the fuck not?

This biggest mouths on this board are unapologetically racist, and the moderators do next to nothing to squelch the overall inbred idiocy of the place. That's why so many of us lurk in the business section and tend not to mix too often with these idiots. :2 cents:

This is not true. I hike up the Blue Hills outside of Boston and I've seen 3 or 4 black couples last month. :2 cents:

You lurk because you like reading racism? I find that as amusing as the next guy, but, adding your own is more fun.

You would think with amount of bicycles black community accumulated over the years they would be all over mountain biking hobby. Weird.

You have 4 posts in business forum.

That's a shame. Just put brassmonkey and blackmonster on ignore.


.

Yet...here you are. :eek7

At least your daughter is safe and in once piece. She should be more alert next time.

Sure. Blame the victim.

She's not old enough to know the history and reasons behind natural order - but she'll sit near the front of the bus...and leave the porch monkeys to sit at the back.

I like to sit on the porch

How many black people live in Welland/Niagara these days?

Growing up in Welland there was literally ONE black family, and they had lived there longer than probably 80-90% of the population because most of that city are European immigrants from the last century and a large French Canadian community. The one black family I knew of were descendants of runaway slaves via the Underground Railway. I'm surprised there weren't more being a border town but most American slaves ended up in Southwestern Ontario.

Oh, before I moved I think a few Caribbean/Jamaican people showed up.

You obviously lived under a rock if you don't realize that Versace shoes are meant to be Flashy just all things Versace, and they are usually expensive as it's not uncommon for them to cost $1000-$2000 and they have no problems selling out as people love them :winkwink: Sorry to disappoint but Lebs are cheap and don't wear these at least not here in South Beach.

Think mine was flashy? Mine was tame compared to the one below. :1orglaugh

Unfortunately libtard type tends to see only whites as waciss, blacks can do the same without being mentioned.
That is how double standard libtard brain works.
