phones are so cheap now why would you even steal one?



Phones are only cheap when you buy them with a contract. Buying them new without a contract you are looking at spending 200+

Exactly! I would have to pay upwards.... 400 to get the same phone.


yes but noone will buy that phone for 400$ in a back ally. it would go for around 30$

ugh...i am getting so tired of people crying racism every time someone says the word "black guy" and something bad in the same sentence. THERE IS NO RACISM. THE GUY WAS BLACK AND HE STOLE A PHONE, THESE ARE FACTS. Facts are not racism. If a white guy stole his phone and he said "some white guy stole my phone" would you call racism? Hell no, there would be not problem with that. I'm not trying to get down on you in particular FSU, I'm just getting so fucking sick of people in general crying racism. I know I we want to be equal, I like the idea, but calling racism every time someone says something derogatory with the word "black guy" in the same sentence is not helping, its making it worse.

I wasn't talking about the black guy reference, I was talking about the job, the homosexuality, the thieving, and such things

You know I gotta somewhat agree that it is a little racist towards black people. If a 'white guy' did indeed steal his phone, I dont think race would have been brought up at all. It would have just been, 'some guy stole my phone' I dont know why people still feel they need to make sure that the race of someone is known when something goes wrong and they aren't white.

but you cant base your argument on hunch's and what you think..you can only argue the facts..and the fact here was a black guy robbed him..i really dont see why there is a issue here

I personally don't feel I was being racist about anything that I said. I was just trying to be as descriptive as possible and even said "African American"
I think that if a white person were to have stolen my phone, i definitely would've mentioned the race too. I didn't do it to be racist. Just a fact.

Yeah if he sold it in a back alley. I'm pretty sure he'll go on craigslist or ebay though.

OP: keep checking out craigslist to see if it shows up.

I caught it too.

Like the guy who said something like "I stay away from groups of african americans in cars at night"

or the assumption that because he robbed you he must be stupid and can't even spell african american.

or the get a job and such and such.

It wouldn't have seemed bad if they were just talking about thieves or 'hood' looking people in general. but it seemed that everyone was just singling out black people.

yes i said it and by "cars" i meant the train cars. there are usually 6 - 12 depending on the time of day. and you better believe I will pick and choose who I'm sitting with based on many, many MANY personal experiences

No matter what anybody says, I don't think anything that was said on here was racist. It's just what everyone's experienced from their own personal experiences. I'd like to thank everybody for their help and on different ideas.

Btw, I did check Craigslist. Nothing. I'll check again right now.

My friend who works at sprint (no SIM cards either) said that he confiscates reported stolen phones when someone tries to activate them. could take some time but eventually someone might try
