Snatching Cell Phones

[drwham]

This guy from a book i read was planning to steal some cell phones from his university. His plan is to find a girl that's talking on her phone or has it in her hand and just run by and grab it from her and run as fast as possible. He would make sure there is no guys near by that would try to be a hero and chase. Is this a good plan? What are the charges for something like this if this character is caught?

Yes to that. the guy from the story is very fast and athletic but a track girl would kill him.

This is so stupid, Some phone carriers don't have SIM cards. So they cant switch the numbers. So then you have a paperweight unless you want to have it tracked (the phone company and several apps can do this). All in all I'd say this is a BAD IDEA.
Also mud farmer lol !

the guy from the story would power the phone off and remove SIM card if it has one. he would then go to a location not his home and restore the phone to factory settings. Then he would sell on craigslist after holding on to it for a while. Even if the phone gets blacklisted, most people who buy from CL don't check.

It is a silly idea but hey if its your cup of tea, best of luck let me know how it goes.. How many phones are you tryna snatch? You'd need a hat or disguise because someone will notice you in the coming days perhaps?

Ya i read he plans to wear a hat and clothes he would never wear again. He will be looking for iphones only. His goal is just 1 because he is short of money.

Running away with a purse is a lot more risky then just pocketing a phone and running.

Gamestop pays from 60 to 110$ for iphones..
If You have a friend that works there even better..
Just saying you can make an easy 400$ in a day
Subways are the best spots for grab and dash.
Again just saying......

Places to do my idea:

Bus station
Subway (Mentioned already)
Mall
Public bus
Park

It's more profitable and easier then actually taking a phone.


Or if you really have no soul just fucking mug 'em and take a purse.



Either way, best of luck to yuh.
