    Im so P!ssed off! Last night, my phone was stolen! My 3 month old samsung tocco! Now I always said that what goes around, comes around and that Karma can be a bitch, but jesus christ!

    About 2 weeks ago, I was down in waterford for the weekend and I was in a nightclub when I found a phone on the dancefloor. So I picked it up and checked the last dialled number, and then I text the person asking if they were in this particular club. Met them at the bar and handed to owner back her phone. I did what any decent person would have done!

    Has Ireland just gone to sh!te and the majority of people turned into thiefing ba$tards?!?!?:mad:

    Unfortunately, quite a lot of people will see something new and shiny, and simply pretend they didn't and pocket it.

    Did you not tell the person that stole your phone the story of you finding the phone in the disco and handing it back? i'm sure he wouldn't have taken it if he knew.

    There's no such thing as Karma unfortunately OP but maybe your good deed inspired another to do something similar in the future. Fair play to ya for going to the effort.

    Who ever stole your phone will more than likely go to jail and get raped, that might be some comfort to you.

    Funnily enough I was thinking of this a few weeks back. Found a wallet last month with three hundred squid in it, a student id card and a halls keycard on the bus home(to halls). Got back to halls, found the dude and gave it back. Two weeks later my wallet was stolen in a club on a night out, with fifty squid in it.

    Karma is (Dr) Bolloco.

    How do you establish, from one theft, that the majority of Irish people are theiving bastards?

    With unemployment on the rise, less jobs for people, you will see crime on the rise. I have been tempted but I haven't lowered myself yet. If things continue, I don't know... it's sad to think of.

    Some lovely person stole my Coat with passport and keys in it. You'd think they'd leave them back, or even into a Garda station becuase they have no value to anyone but me, but no.... I hope they get sent to Guantanamo using a fake passport to get into America!

    probably wouldn't want it back afterwards


    if mobile phone companies took some interest in stolen phones there would be no reason to keep them, they could send an SMS to it every minute saying "stolen phone" but like credit card fraud it's cheaper for the companies to let the punter take the hid :mad:

    Generally think I'm quite good in terms of karma, but it dosent think the same. Lost my passport twice this week, lost over a hundred quid few weeks back, lost a mate's shirt, ripped my shoulder... I could go on.

    Jaysus Karma wise up for once!

    I bought a Welsh rugby supporter a whiskey in an Irish pub in 2005 and he emails me last month with 2 tickets for me and the wife for the Wales V England 6Nations match last weekend.

    I believe in Karma !

    How this relates to phones I just don't know.

    In the shop I've worked in over the years I'd say at least 10 phones people have lost/left behind I found and always rang/texted a recent contact to get the person their phone back. Even an n95 which was so tempting to keep tbh.
