Long story short, a friend of mines (not anymore) set me up to chill around Bronx & then him & his friend snatch the phone out my hand & ran away.. YES FAKE FRIENDS.. they're everywhere.

I won't file police report because I don't want drama I'll figure out something on my own later on....

My question is, I did an upgrade on June for my iPhone 4 & payed $300 for it..

You guys think I can be able to do an early upgrade next week & pay $399 ?

thanks...
 
Hope you learned a lesson, hanging out with the wrong type of people will get you into alot worst predicaments than just losing a cellphone.
Walk away and get some better friends.
Check your upgrade eligibility by sending/calling *639# on your cellphone or call AT&T.
 
yo i feel really bad for you son, but you just got trolled in real life bad. your facebook profile reads: I love my iPhone 4 and my Mac.

i'm a little curious though. how long were you friends with them for? days? years? because damn, if they befriended you for awhile only scheming to get your iP4, i have lost my faith in the younger generation.

Is this real?

I was thinking the same thing. If someone I knew stole my phone, I would file a police report, period!

<sarcasm>But then the OP wouldn't be able to hold on to honor or whatever and "get him back on his own". I mean, after all, there are gangs involved.</sarcasm>

Is this how gang violence escalates? You do something to me, I don't want to tell authorities but I want to be big enough to do something back to you, etc etc?
 
Wow, that's some story. My guess would be no, you can't upgrade.

On another note, if you don't do something now to show this is unacceptable, then why wouldn't they find you again and steal your next one? If I had no quams about stealing and knew there was someone with valueables and wouldn't turn me in I would be sure to find you again and again.

Unless you are a trained killer and plan on taking on an entire gang, your best bet would be to go to the police. Don't be a hero, they don't win in real life.
 
Since you have no ballz you might as well just kneel down and crawl back to momma. :eek:

When you grow up you will realize that the police are on your side and the thugs (friends) are not. :(
 
Since you are going to "get him back" on your own, doesn't that make you a gangster as well? What's going to stop them from doing that again if they know you won't do anything about it?

I think causing drama by going to the police is the least of your problems.
