That's what it takes to be branded as shady nowadays? Baffled-Jaguars-fan.gif
I don't know, the dishonesty is what gets to me more than anything. Doubt he sees a major penalty over it if you do go through with pressing charges.

it's time to deal with the consequences.

I completely agree.  The kid had evil intentions and will now have to deal with the consequences for his actions.   On top of this he tries to rat out his cousin.

For all of you saying, "it's only a phone", well it's a $600 phone.   If the kid stole $600 in cash or it was a $600 laptop, would your opinion sway about pressing charges?  

The only reason I would sway against it is because OP will probably have to go to court, which will be a huge inconvenience.

You steal my phone and lie to my face about about, my first instinct is to knock your teeth out. Since I can't do that without facing charges, I might as press charges. $&@! his busboy job, you did him a favor getting him fired from that dead-end.

Irresponsible or not, when you lie to my face about it, now it's personal.

Sure it's stealing but if I see a phone laying around it's up for grabs until someone claims it. He was wrong in a sense that he lied about it and he received his punishment by being fired. You got your phone back when you're the one that left it there. Your attitude should be that of relief since you got your phone back undamaged.

Still, it's an expensive device and to "forget" it. 

.  Making it seem as if this kid pick pocketed your phone, that's a different story altogether.

Going all hard body on the kid, not once have you said YOU made the initial mistake.

Kid lost his job, but pressing charges?

Also stating the kid is shady because he locks his door?

He should've thought about this before he tried to make a quick come up off my man here. OP don't take your foot off this dude's neck. He still wouldn't accept responsibility, so you must teach him a lesson.

OP needs to learn a lesson, be a little bit more responsible with your belongings.  Soft %#@ suburban righteous kids. 

  You guys will get eaten alive in the hood.
.


Oh you live in the hood but are on internet access? sounds like you aint hood enough

you know who's soft? our legal system, let's make like the middle east and cut that busboy's hands. so he can say look ma no hands

does not compute

^dude had to do detective work to go his phone back, it was as good as gone if op hadn't been using his head. The kid had no intentions of giving it back, even lied to the cops after getting caught red-handed. $&@" the kid, he gets everything he deserves.

Again, is it "wrong" to find something and keep it?  Sure the kid SHOULD have given it to his boss so it could be claimed but a free iphone is a free iphone.  If anyone had found a random iphone on the street, unless you're that good of a person, you would keep it.  Of course you would give it back if the owner had tracked it down which is exactly what OP did.  Put yourself in the kid's shoes for a minute and think of what you would do if you had found the hottest phone out there.  Dude shouldn't have lied and got fired which is probably the extent of what he deserves.

You gotta be dense....how hard is it to either turn the phone over to management or make ONE call to someone out of the favorites in his contact list to set up a meet to return it?  It's really not hard to do the right thing.  Especially in a situation like this when finding the phone's owner isn't that difficult. 

I swear some of yall weren't raised right.

Getting fired at this time of month is a lesson enough next time he might not get off that easy

 

[presequel]

you didnt get him fired, he got himself fired.
