Things that make me hate the state of our nation
Yesterday something happened in my store that I am really upset about. Franco1903 is one of the sales reps I work with and he had something terrible happen.
Two white trash people came in to the store and needed help with their rebate that was denied them. Franco took the time to call in and get the matter resolved and our district manager even gave them a new BB car charger to boot. Then the unthinkable happened.
The white trash dude stole Franco's brand new unlocked k850i. My district manager and I were redoing the accessory wall and he grabbed it while getting a drink from our water fountain. It was on a shelf nearby.
I know some will say it was Franco's fault that he didn't have it in his pocket or in a better location, but...

We didn't realize till they had left the store that it was gone. There were no other customers in the store while they were there.

I hope y'all called and cancelled his rebate.
Seriously, y'all have their address and what not, I would make sure they really get what's coming to them. Hopefully the DA will cooperate.

Two things would have to happen for this guy to be prosecuted. First, he has to be in possession of the phone and second, you have to swear in court that you actually saw him take it. If you can't do that, you can't make the case against him.
I had this happen to me years ago and it sucks. I feel your pain, makes you lose faith in humanity and you feel violated. You learn your lesson from the ordeal and as time moves on you realize humanity doesn't suck but there are some untrustworthy individuals out there.

I sincerely hope the authorities have been contacted. I'm sure you shouldn't have any trouble handing over personal info like name and address. These people are stupid enough to give it to you and then commit a crime. I hate to say it, but yes, they are stupid, ignorant white trash people. Prosecute to the fullest.

They probably couldn't even get a gig with Jerry Springer! 🤣

Nice title drama queen.
Stuff like that happen in a lot of work places that is why you see laptops chained to desks, people locking their belongings in drawers, etc.

We already submitted it to the police and they are searching for them. It just stinks that we have to deal with this. Our district manager is trying to get our store insurance to pay Franco back. Just to add the customers last name is Schmuck (I'm not kidding).

Get into his account and add every extra feature you can think of. 😈
No- loosing your job is probably not worth phone vengeance. Just be more careful.

i know you shouldn't, but I'd add EVERY stinkin' feature on it.
He might just be dumb enough to go back to the store to complain.
What a jerkwad.

This guy was complete white trash. From his wifebeater to his gay mustache. Does anyone know what the corrigo fees are for? No one seems to know but they're expensive. Latest update in this matter is I was able to make a positive ID on the guy and I believe he is going to be charged with theft. I've also filed an insurance claim and lets just hope that 1) this never happens again 2) this guy rots in hell and 3) I'm compensated for the phone and 4gb memory card inside the phone. Word of the wise keep your phone in your pocket

You think this stuff only happens in OUR nation? This ain't 1955 and we don't sleep with our doors unlocked anymore. You have to be careful because people will steal anything and it sounds like your buddy was very careless with such a treasured device.
If you didn't see it happen, and they don't find the phone on him, you are going to get the DA to file charges.
I understand you frustration, but in a world where there are nations who are killing in the name of ethnic cleansing and children are being killed and maimed in hidden minefields, the title of this post is a bit too "Drama Queen"...

Do you consider parking your car in a parking garage or parking lot as very careless. Didn't think so because someone could take that if they wanted to and it doesn't take that much. I've been to other countries around the world. I know this isn't the only place that theft occurs. Ever been to a rough neighborhood in another country because even though they don't have guns in some of those countries they do have knives among other things and they're willing to do worse for less.
I'm sure however old you are that you've never accidently left a car unlocked, a bedroom door or something along those lines. You were probably lucky enough not to have something happen or if you did then I feel for you.

Hey Franco. Shut up.
Leaving an expensive cell phone lying around a retail store that is open to the public is careless. Heck , I don't leave my laptop unsecured to my desk and I work in a private office that ISN'T open to the public.
So is leaving your car unlocked. It's careless. It happens but you didn't just leave the car unlocked, you left it running with the keys in the ignition. Are you actually arguing that you weren't careless? I have had things stolen before. Sometimes it was due to carelessness, sometimes it was unavoidable. Leaving a GD cell phone on a counter unattended with what you described as a bunch of hillbilly red necks lurking about the store was extremely careless and not just a little stereotypical. Deciding the...

Hey Homer
You know what I realize **** does happen. I have had **** happen to me on more than one occasion and I know it isn't fun. I guess if our levels of maturity are based on these rants then we're right there with each other. You know I wasn't the one who started this thread someone else did and I refuse to call what happened or what anyone did as careless.
I have found that being a lawyer does help in these matters. The guy is probably going to be charged because of something called circumstantial evidence(How most murders are solved in this country btw). If they were the only people in the store and the phone was there while they were there and now it isn't after they left after I hadn't touched it I believe this qualif...

My God! You don't sound like the bad guy! You sound like you need to go cry to Oprah.
Why is it so hard to grasp the concept that someone leaving an expensive device, unattended, in a public place with shady characters hanging around the store is careless? What in the heck is wrong with you?
I didn't vilify anyone I just made the statement that it was careless and that little incident didn't really reflect the "state of our nation" for craps sake. How you got started on all of your past mistakes and college days and what you are and aren't proud of in you life.... GEEZ!
Perhaps you've confused Phonescoop with Dr. Phil's website.

Dr. Phil has a website that I can go to and bitch???
Why in the hell was I not informed of this earlier?

at the end of the day, the phone was stolen (happen to my friend, and im sorry to hear it happened to you) but it happened. you called the cops and thats fine. let it be. me and my friend got robbed at gunpoint in a mall parking lot at 5pm it was still light out! they ran, but left her cell, we called the cops, and they prosocuted them. while the process was going on for years,(4people robbed us) one of the kids got killed (even though he robbed me, r.i.p.) the other guy was 16 so he is off, the other guy is going to jail for life for killing the other guy, and the last is still in jail for another 8 years (florida has a 10-20-life law, and somehow he only got 8 years). i was pissed, i said when he got out i would find him and f+++ him up. y...

can i ask this... because its unlocked or gsm, does it make it harder to be traced if say the cops dont find it? i know with cdma its all imei #s you cant do the sim card thing. im sure they have a way to track them, i just dont know it. but this could allways be a fall back option if they dont find the phone
...
It can be traced however there is red tape and paperwork involved as with all things. My best hope is to have insurance take care of it and get a new one. But yeah they can be traced
...
would the att insurance (not the physical store) cover it because its an unlocked phone?
...
no way the only real chance I have is the insurance associated with my credit card and that's not necessarily a slam dunk, so let's hope
...
i believe another poster said something about the store insurance. do you think maybe that would work? i dont know if they have deductibles for that, im sure they do

I have to apologize. I just went back and re-read this comment. Sometimes I'll say something without a sense of perspective and I think that's what happened here.
I hope you don't mind, but I printed out your above comment onto a little card which I laminated and now keep in my wallet to remind me of this regrettable tendency.
If I may be frank (ha ha!), I think everyone will be much happier using your calculus -- to wit, is my problem more horrible than genocide, mass murder, e...

Sure. I can sum up the level in which your described pain and suffering due to the state of this nation compares to other. This morning, I sadly had an insect hit my windshield. I feel for sadness and pity for that flying pest that I do for the loss of your phone.
And thank you for your post. I proved that me calling you a Drama Queen was an understatement. I don't believe you can be "frank" (ha ha funny pun) but can only be "francis".

No, no, I think you misunderstood me. I'm agreeing with you.
We're talking perspective here, right? Where did I get off reporting a crime to the police? And how about the DA's office trying to prosecute a crime?
I mean, shouldn't our police and lawyers be out preventing ethnic cleansing and hidden minefields overseas?
Also, I want to be clear that I'm on the same page with you about being a drama queen. What's next, I start comparing everything to ethnic cleansing and children being maimed in minefields?

I read english pretty well. It's my first AND second language and I don't think that you are agreeing with me at all. I think you are being snarky and facetious.

You all (since people don't like ya'll outside of Texas) should come down to Texas where we handle robbers by shooting them and getting off by a grand jury not wanting to prosecute us.
And i must say i love it, because i don't care how small or large the crime is, its still a crime.
and your comparison earlier the genocides and blah blah blah, sometimes you can't fix ignorance and what is the point of having UN peace keepers if they go to the Sudan and get shot at for ten minutes straight without firing a shot back.
to me all this means is less people taking up precious air.
