last week i dropped my iphone and cracked the screen. Slowly and slowly it started to get more and more fucked up and eventually I couldnt even turn it on any more. Do u guys know of any deals I could get instead of spending like 500 bucks for a new phone?
I got a brand new phone. Two weeks later I flew to Iowa to be a bridesmaid in my friend's wedding. The bridal party had access to the inside of the house where the wedding took place, and everyone left their purses, phones, etc. basically laying everywhere. After the ceremony I came inside and my phone was gone. I searched everywhere, and it ruined the reception for me because I basically spent the entire night looking for it.
The next morning I overslept and missed my flight back to Seattle because my phone is my alarm, and I no longer had a phone, and the alarm I tried to use in the hotel room didn't work.
I almost missed a Seahawks playoff game that I had tickets to...and I would have had I not fallen to the ground crying at the chicago airport when I heard that I would have to stay the night there (I already paid 300.00 for a new plane ticket).
After returning home, I searched ebay for phones like mine in the cedar rapids, Iowa area-- found my phone with the same case. Looked at the ebay username, googled it and found the first/last name of the person...looked them up on ebay and it was some 15 year old kid...called the bride/groom and they said that the kid was the one who set-up their chairs at their wedding. Called local police and they made a house call and recovered my phone.
Turns out its a small enough town that his punishment was that I got to chew his ass over the phone for 20 minutes about what a pain in the ass he is and how much trouble he caused me.

TLDR; fuck people who steal phones.
thats fucking stupid. The kid should have paid the 300$ for the new ticket

That's what I thought, but when I talked to the dad he was like "please, we are broke and his mother just left us, and im working two jobs-- he has no guidance-- he is a good kid and he just made a mistake...please don't press charges." So I was like "ok, but he owes me money." The dad is like "I don't disagree, but we don't have any money." Which I actually believe-- I'm too nice.

I know, right? So I got my phone back but he had thrown away the sim card so I lost all my stuff.
There is some satisfaction in having my ebay detective skills actually work, though, so it wasn't a total loss, and I still have that phone, so I didn't have to pay for an insurance claim.
