The worst part is they didn't even realize it was a phone. They'll probably just dump it when they figure out they can't do much with it.

Frankly, I'd prefer they dump it. At least they don't have access to my pics, emails, etc.

Also, I would hate the idea of those F***S walking around and playing with my property.

Sorry to hear about this.

Do you think there's any way you could sign up for the free 60-day trial of MobileMe now? You might then be able to find your phone. I don't know what is required to sign up, but I'm sure you have all your phone's information.

You have to activate the Find My Iphone feature from the iphone.
 
1. Get your CCW license
2. Get a gun
3. Shoot them

/TheEnd

BTW I highly suggest the Ruger SR9c... don't leave home without mine ;)

+1 LCP for me.

Another reason I'd never live in New York, even though I could move there and more than double my salary :( NY Governor would rather let all the criminals walk around with guns and take the guns away from responsible owners.

you dont live in NYC, do you? besides working as a state or federal agent (NYPD/FBI/etc.) getting a license to use a gun is not an easy task to say the least.

Double your salary + double all your expenses = it evens out.
 
Uh oh. This thread is now starting to look like the last thread on this subject.
 
sorry to hear about this, as said, glad your ok, end of the day its just a phone :)

do you have cctv there etc? although presumably they were masked or whatever, but may help the cops out a bit!

do they take things like this seriously? see here they would as its a gun and thankfully their not too common here yet! but over there is it just considered a general robbery?

being from the uk, its weird to think that you guys can legally carry a gun around with you.....

not sure if id like that option here.....

Thing is, even if it would no be legal, it would not stop criminal from having them...

i live in nyc and you cant legally carry a gun ( unless you are a criminal) they didnt have masks so i can clearly remember their faces, there were no CCTVs on the lobby

yeah a valid point mate :)

although i guess if anyone can carry a gun, then you would want one just to not be caught out....

anyway as i said, must of been horrific for you mate, i dont want to ever know what its like :(

oh right, sorry didnt realise! i thought you all could? (i know, i know, sorry for my arrogance :) )

im guessing that as a few of you have mentioned criminals can theres a law your not happy about?

-------At that point to be honest, i was not scared nor shocked. i retain my cool even after i called the cops and joined the search to no avail. I was surprised how calm i was. i was staring at death right in the face but yet i didn't seem to flinch. I have no explanation, He was pointing a "TECH 9"
 
That suck...that's why I love living in Florida with a conceal carry permit and my .45 caliber pistol. :D

i dont understand though, even if he had a gun in his situation, if he pulled it out that wouldnt have helped, they would just be pointing guns at each other and the chances of someone, especially the criminals firing would have increased considerably. then not only would he have had his iPhone stolen but he would have had a bullet in his chest...
