You let your iPhone just sit out in a public place...
and then going to get the iPhone you left your bags sit there..

You're lucky that you got to track it down. No one intentionally "stole" your iPhone, you just put it down in a public place out of your sight. If someone had intentionally stole this, I don't think you would have had any chance of finding it. There is a small chance they would be dumb enough to leave it turned on and plugged in to be tracked, atleast for a few days until they feel it's safe. It sounds like the guy who took it just seized the opportunity of an old lady handing it to him, which is semi dishonest, but it all stems back to how you left it sit out in open sight in a public place.

I might sound a little harsh, but having expensive belongings like that carries risk. No one's ever stolen any of my iPods or cell phones yet, so maybe I am just having a hard time seeing your point of view completely.


I understand and agree partially with your view but taking someone else's property isn't "semi dishonest". It's basically stealing. Just because someone messed up doesn't make it right to take their stuff. Sure, he didn't take it by force or anything but still kind of a douche move to accept the phone.

Good luck with getting your phone back! I feel bad for that old lady, trying to do the right thing and then finding out she had messed up. (of course i feel bad for you as well)

Seriously, ignore the police. This is Washington DC. You gotta go get the Iphone yourself.

How is it "semi-dishonest?" And that guy did intentionally steal his iPhone. Stealing doesn't have to be premeditated. Sure he has a certain responsibility to keep his own stuff safe, that doesn't make it right in the other direction. If you leave the door to your house unlocked it means you are stupid but it still doesn't mean people can freely ravage it and not call it illegal.

I bet you wouldn't be so confident in a country when everyone and their mothers are rolling with guns.

it sounds frustrating to know where the phone is but without the ability to just go retrieve it. If I were you i think i'd just knock on the door. By the sounds of it, him turning the phone on, and not taking it from the seat personally (it was given to him) youre not dealing with a hardened criminal or something, He simply has your phone, go get it back if the cops wont for you. Best of luck, hopefully it all works out.

If the story wasn't told so well, this could've passed as an Apple ad.

Captain Hindsight to the rescue! As other TL'ers said, you shouldn't have left your iPhone unattended on a plane seat.
Anyway pretty entertaining story from a spectator's perspective, GLHF man, hopefully you'll recover your phone.
