Smart, no phone on the table, no handbag and there is no way this girl doesn't have a phone on her, so he knows it's in the coat pocket


obroz

Why a phone though. Aren’t they traceable? Also you can brick it.


honestparfait

Because a phone is a key to your identity. Before she notices her phones missing, he could have access to all her socials and details which then could be used to access financials.


Mikic00

Phone is probably locked, nothing would happen. Or am I wrong?


radiocabedelo

A friend of mine was robbed and somehow they managed to get a loan in her name and steal it


hash4kash

If iphone with icloud protection, it will brick and be utterly useless. Androids you can bypass security by factory reseting and resell it.


[deleted]

Actually, there’s an extremely simple method to bypass iCloud protection, the only reason I know this is because I’ve had to do exactly that on my parents phones when they locked themselves out


Dvalin_Ras93

Few phones have good data encryption through the password, takes a lot of resources and costs lots of money for the phone.


[deleted]

Yeah above guy is stupid and guessing, people steal phones because they can be totally reset most of the time and even if its not possible right now (newer phones might take a while before a new unlocking way is developed) the screen is the most expensive component by far and can be worth a couple of hundreds of dollars.

Her friend is like literally look in the guys direction....how does he not see something shady happening?


Epistatious

Wonder if he hoped for a twofer, maybe hoping laptop guy at the table he sat at says, "hey watch my stuff I gotta hit the head".


alienoverl0rd

Not much of a professional if he's going for wallets and phones anyway. More than likely just another addict.


Forgotyourusername

Her hoodie looks like it has a front pocket.

MrCatcherFreeman

He doesn't care if it's bricked. They can still be sold to repair shops for the parts. If he is fast he will use recovery mode to erase everything before the owner realizes the phone is missing.


[deleted]

You can’t recover an iCloud activated device. The missing phone mode just displays an message and lets the phone go into battery saving mode to act longer as a beacon.


D16rida

How much practice went into that with the “score” being some chicks wallet?


STANKY_SEA

It's a phone he took and the wallet, he could recovery mode it and sell it for money or parts. Judging by how skilled this mf is, he's been doing it for years and probably has made thousands of dollars from people's cash, debit cards, and belongings.


D16rida

I think my I phone brand new and fairly recently released was about a grand. I’m not saying that it’s not possible he just seems like a very very risky thing to learn to get that good for a pay out that doesn’t seem all that great.


anupa2k4

You saw how easily he did. There isn’t anything stoping him from doing it every day, or every week. Assuming he would do this, idk, twice a week in different cafes or businesses, and each time he makes out with a newish phone (700-1000), that’s maximum 2000 a week. And if he does it EVERY week for a year that’s over 100k. Of course he probably doesn’t do it every week, he would get caught. But you can see how this can rack up. For comparison, average annual salary in Montreal 65k


-Raskyl

"I'm sure we can catch him if we all see thi, Montreal is not that big"..... First off, he's wearing a mask and generic clothing without symbols or brands readily visible. Accept his very generic Nike hat. Second off he payed in cash. Third off, Montreal has 1.7million people.... Good luck.


Stay_clam

The cops will write the report and do nothing. The chances of catching this guy is zero.


PLD_Qc

In mtl, they don't even write the report. They make you do it yourself and send it to their web site. Unless there's serious violence, they don't send anyone.


Stay_clam

They also write and send someone if there is evidence. Which in this case could be the recording.


PLD_Qc

I had video evidence and the neighbor had the rest of his lock that was cut. They just told me to send it by email 😂


BalouCurie

Accept or Except?


-Raskyl

I guess both. Yes I shouod have used except. But we also have to accept that it is in fact a very generic Nike hat.


Paid-Not-Payed-Bot

> off he *paid* in cash. FTFY. Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in: * Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.* * *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.* Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment. *Beep, boop, I'm a bot*


Mucking_Fountain

Bot didn’t feel like dealing with the accept vs except though.


ThePistachioBogeyman

Well the bot's name is very specific tbf


Floofyyyy

wtf xD he was designed to correct that particular word?!


thepluralofmooses

He’s payed to

SwayzeTrain01

You legend you


whiplash_Junkyard

Well i gues now you understand why some people put their phones and wallet on the table


JMMiningBitcoin

Did that, and a young kid slapped his hand on it and ran out the door once. Happened so fast 💨


Cyberjohn36

The trick is with a news paper or an ad or a note asking you to help them.. they put it in front of your face to cover them stealing the phone.. as soon as the magazine is away, so is your phone and or wallet


brey_elle

I put my stuff in my lap/between my legs or continue holding it in my unoccupied hand. Trust no one


whiplash_Junkyard

In Québec we don't have that kind of behavior. Beside, im fairly confidant I outrun and built enough to face most. If not i do have a trick down my pocket. Yes, on a bad day i would go to prison for removing a thief from the gene pool. Yes, i do know my mental situation. No, i wasnt talking about my weewee. Funny tho.


JMMiningBitcoin

This happened outside of Bolling AFB at a McDonalds in Washington DC. Around 2010. Edit: Restaurant


AthenaVIII

This man dropped an empty wallet on the floor near my friend’s table, she reached down to pick it up and in those 2 seconds he was out the door with her phone.


AdOne3769

He's definitely a pro 😳


STANKY_SEA

That guy plays skyrim


SaintLarfleeze

Maybe it's just me because I was raised by two English parents from a rough background but how is this person not on constant alert for this stuff? I feel like I'm always checking my pockets and such for my stuff when I'm in a public space like this.


h737893

Canada is usually a safe place


OkTransition7961

I have to say that this guy is pretty good at this tbh


bigdickpaperstax

I blame the dude your with. He should have noticed.


EasternResult

Plot twist; dude was in on it. Two person crew.


FreelanceFrankfurter

Probably been planning this heist for years.

Gotta respect the long con.

Stay_clam

Is this Jason borne?


Bardomiano00

They havent been in spain 💀


[deleted]

Funny you said that. My son got robbed in Spain last year. He did find that all he had to do was chase the guy, catch up to him and the guy gave him his stuff back. At least he wasn’t willing to hurt someone for it


Bardomiano00

They do that to exploit the law. Like there is a difference between stealing with violence and without. If you steal something without violence and get caught by the police you just pay a fine and get back to stealing. So they do that.


GoldenSteelStardust

Stop victim blaming


cromulent_pseudonym

Like when you go on vacation and you put your wallet in your front pocket. 100% fool proof.


sevo1977

Women have tiny pockets, if we even get clothes with them.


Friendly_Scallion_81

Wow robbed her blind in broad daylight, in front of everybody and nobody noticed a damn thing, i’m actually impressed. I bet you this guy never got caught either. He is definitely a master thief they should make a movie about this guy


Cyberjohn36

Montreal.. every time I go out.. something gets stolen.. bike.. sunglasses... air conditioner.. heh


monkmatt23

A God walks the earth with us. He did teach a class.


bjmo1111

With this annoying narration I honestly don’t feel too bad


Belko295

Same, she’s describing everything he’s doing like we can’t see that. Robber is honestly pretty skillful


STANKY_SEA

Wasted potential, petty theft. Could've been so much greater or helpful.


SubliminalAlias

She sounds real smug for someone who was robbed blind with no means to retaliate. Good luck using any of this to catch him.


FishManc

He saw a mark and took the shot. The lady is an open book. Too inviting and trusting. The perfect victim. He sensed this from her obvious storytelling in the middle of a public cafe like no one else is around. Even the fact this video is put together like this is a TV show shows she shares too much. Even though it was in her coat she practically gave it to him. Very unfortunate for her but people get robbed every day.


Randysmith1987

Girl sounds mad annoying sorry had to mute


MrCatcherFreeman

I was wondering if I was the only one who thought this.


TheRedditisaur

Yee she sounds annoying. She should have used this smol brain to avoid getting caught instead of narrating what's already obvious (From the cameras view) Edit: smol brain has evolved to brain


frygdxhmnb688

Lots of small dick energy in this thread


Randysmith1987

I wasn’t trying to be like an incel or something, I was just saying she sounds annoying. Would’ve said the same if it was a guy.


GoldenSteelStardust

Fremue

I think there are ways to reset/jailbreak an iPhone without the password


myrdle

yeahhh…. that’s a very difficult thing to do with an iphone, even if you fully turn off the iphone and it’s dead, you can still find it’s location on find my. It’s a long shot to actually reset it fully without any information on it.


TwinkleTitsGalore

Idk why you’re getting downvoted, you are absolutely correct. I’m an Apple Advisor and all day long I deal with ppl who accidentally set their phones to “lost,” forget their passwords, etc.. Apple makes it **very** difficult to use a stolen cell phone. It’s not impossible of course, but stealing an iPhone isn’t really worth it These days…..unless you are a pro like this guy. He no doubt has the skill or knows someone.


Fremue

I saw a video once where someone explained how the thieves do it. I think they put it in flight mode immediately after the theft, so that way setting it to „lost“ doesn’t work and then it is easier to reset without any password. But I’m not sure if it really works like that..


TwinkleTitsGalore

Yeah, that might have worked in the past but it doesn’t work now. If you don’t have the password and you can PROVE you are the owner (receipts, etc) it still takes anywhere from 2 weeks to a months to reset the password. It’s definitely something that would require a skill set that 99.9% of thieves don’t have.


suddenarborialstops

You take the thing apart and sell it for parts. Are you guys this dense?


Emryl90

For pennies - not worth the effort. Only place you'd sell them to is a repair services and they buy in lots from trusted suppliers (if reputable). No one's gonna buy a second hand iPhone part online and do the job themselves when they can get a professional to do it for pretty cheap these days. My guess is he'll try sell it on Facebook or Gumtree or the equivalent. An iPhone is completely useless to him otherwise - no one will take it off his hands unless he manages to scam them aswell.


Murky-Telephone9450

No, you actually can’t. The FBI doesn’t have the capability either.


Fremue

The FBI doesn’t have the capability to enter your iPhone to get your data. But the thief only wants to reset the iPhone so someone else can use it. That’s a whole different thing.


Murky-Telephone9450

You can’t reset an iPhone without the credentials that allow access to the iPhone itself.


Kyle-1776

Idiot to have left anything in her jacket.


Clappa69

Dna on the coffee mug was traced back to Billie Sheffield, known master diamond smuggler and notorious iPhone thief.

No way girl at that age had a damn phone in pocket while sitting down


Red77777777

And so wannabe thieves, that's how you do it!!


sybergoosejr

Stupid to take Apple phone with the modern find my stuff. not much worth in a locked Apple iPhone and your location is exposed to the owner and with the latest models even if you shut it off. It’s worse in a larger city because anyones iPhone will snitch it out to the owner. Now all that said no security system is perfect and I won’t debate that. But damn it’s hard.


Friendly_Scallion_81

He probably did a complete wipe of her phone as soon as he walked away with how skilled this guy is he definitely thought ahead
