Cases of robbery with a sad ending (unfortunately) are quite common, but one in particular occurred with a man in USA It could have ended even worse. The criminals took almost everything, but they let him keep the smartphone for the simple reason that it… wasn’t a iPhone.
According to ABC7the case happened last month in Washington, D.C.when the victim insisted that his wife meet him outside the couple’s apartment so he could park the car for her.
When the two were returning to the building, according to the woman, two masked and armed men approached and took everything the man had in his pockets — including his car key and smartphone.
However, the criminals ended up returning the device when they realized it was an Android smartphone — whose brand and model were not specified by the witness.
“They basically looked at that phone and were like, ‘Oh, is that an Android? We don’t want that. I thought it was an iPhone’”, said the woman, who was devastated by what happened, as the stolen vehicle was the couple’s main source of income through delivery apps.
Tackling crime, apparently, has been a constant challenge for authorities in the American capital. After AirTags were distributed to combat car thefts, city police officers even suggested using the device to try to recover stolen jackets.
