Having been in Afghanistan, I could careless about risking my life for a couple hundred dollars. Wipe your phone and wait for the inevitable crime relates violence that will kill thugs. Minor property is not worth your life or the legal battle that will happen if you kill someone.

Yea he stole some other stuff from me and a local pawn shop even confirmed he pawned it there after I called them.
You know you can get the stuff from the pawn shop back for free, right?

Not until the police do their thing. It gets put under a police hold until after the investigation.

Also I get sick of hearing people talk about shooting someone like its a joke. Don't talk about killing someone like its a reasonable reaction for any crime. All you ccp jokers with itchy trigger fingers need to enlist in the army/marines and find out why killing sucks.

I actually have a success story about a stolen phone and cops.
My wife left her phone at Chili's in Gonzales at lunch. She realized she lost it and went back to Chili's to find it wasn't there. I called it repeatly for about 2 hrs in hope that someone answers or it runs out of battery life. I tried calling it again the next day and someone answered. I advised them that they we're possessing a stolen phone and I would like to recover it.
The person was foreign with broken English but I did interpret that his friend found the phone in Gonzales and they are now in Metarie. I was given there address and took the wife with me to go down there. I started to think this could be a setup so I called the cops and asked them to send a patrol car with me.
It took over an hour for the cop to meet me in a parking lot, but he did and he actually went into the house and got it for me.

Thieves know about it and are turning phones off when stolen so you can't find it.

If you're dumb enough go into the ghetto with a gun to recover your stolen phone, you almost deserve to be shot. If your friends are dumb enough to go with you as "backup", the same can be said for them.

Yea, I have no experience in this sort of thing or anything, but I agree. But internet badasses gonna internet badass.
Regardless of what people say they would do, if anyone can kill a person, any person, for any reason, and not be bothered by it, IMO something is pretty wrong neurologically.

Ah LT's, another one one of my pet peeves. Jk. Didn't mean to get too heavy handed with the psychology but I hear the property equals death sentence a lot it seems. Who knows maybe I'm a flaming America hating flaming liberal cause I'm not a fan of killing people.

That's surprising the cops don't are about a stolen gun, bc poss of a stolen gun is a felony.

I would imagine if you just report your phone stolen, then the cops aren't going to do anything about it. But if you tell them that you're on your way to retrieve a stolen item from a private citizen, then they'll probably go ahead and come out so "some stupid citizen doesn't do something stupid." Sounds like you handled things the best way possible.

That's just your typical TD e-badass...the same guy who soils himself at the sight of fifteen year old kids at Mall of Louisiana is going banging on doors in NBR over a cell phone.

My brother did that and had the police involved. Police knocked on the door and nobody answered. They said "Sorry can't do anything" and left

that's what landed OJ in jail
Well, OJ also walked away from a double murder, so its hard to feel much sympathy. But I've been in very similar situations to what OJ did in Vegas. Telling your buddy, "Don't let anybody leave the room", is kidnapping? Even if they're currently in possession of items that are quite clearly your property?
