I think you're falsely accusing the man of stealing your phone. The magnet from inside the phone latched onto his wallet when he laid it on top of it and by the time he realised what he had picked up it was too late. You should write a public apology to the so-called prick

pauliebdub · 29-08-2014 11:51PM

While I have some sympathy for the OP, it's a shîte thing to happen. It's rough that there are so many thieving scum around. However you should have reported the incident to the gardai straight.
Don't expect McDonald's or any other third party to be of use to you in incidents like this. I'm surprised they even went through cctv with you in the first place, they should only do so if asked by a Garda.

amdublin · 29-08-2014 11:52PM

If you left the phone on the park bench would you be going after the council's insurance?

It's not McDonald's responsibility to mind your property.
Like you don't go in and go "ill have a happy meal and a 5 minute watch of my phone please"

Why should McDonald's pay for your irresponsibility with your phone??

OP any chance you could get me a snackbox when you go to Supermacs.
It's statistically favourable that there is less phones stolen in Supermacs than McDonalds.

The culchies in Supermacs wouldn't know what a phone is:pac:

'Here Mary, this bread board is lighting up' :pac:

'What's a light?'

I kid:p

amdublin · 30-08-2014 12:02AM

So why did you only pick up your phone? And not your wallet and your phone.

That was fierce silly of you altogether. And now you want to blame McDonald's because the phone is gone.

Root cause = you lost/left your phone.

Not nice losing a phone I know, but accept responsibility for what happened.

I was in Toronto last June, and I was in a rush to the airport to get the late night flight back to Ireland. In the panic we took an incorrect turn off the highway and ended up having to take the side roads to the terminal.

I had to stop and ask for directions, and unknowingly dropped my phone on the pavement. I only realised my phone was missing at check-in.

The next day I was back in Ireland and took the bus up to Donegal, and before I went to bed I decided to send my phone a text from O2 online webtext service.

I texted 'hi, if you find this phone my email is *****@gmail.com please drop me an email, I lost my phone on way to airport, thanks'

The next morning I received an email from a guy in Toronto who's mother found it on her way to work the next morning. They sent it back to me via registered post with tracking ($55).

I left my ipad on the train a couple of weeks ago. Myself and the irish rail guy I was dealing with think it travelled up and down on the line all day.

It was handed in at 7pm that evening.

Myself and ir guy were in shock it came back to me. I like to think it was my big "hippy type slogan" sticker on it that it brought it back to me

I texted your man who handed it in asking for his address so I could send him something small, he didn't want anything "just hoped someone would do same for him"

Tail Docker · 30-08-2014 12:17AM

The OP ought to contact the poster looking for their €20 "overtime". Get on like a house on fire. Also, thread title is misleading -"I left my phone in McDonalds, like a big eejit" doesn't have the same ring to it though. "Ring" - I made a pun. Big success.

That was very nice of them. I used to work in Toronto . I had one job working on a go kart track down on polson pier. People were always leaving there phones in the carts. I always returned them but the I found it hilarious some people would not even say thank you. I found one with 300 bucks and around a dozen cards. The guy took it from my hand said nothing ; ). I lost my own wallet 3 times and got it back twice in my life. I believe in karma

Plazaman · 30-08-2014 12:34AM

Yes you left your phone behind
Yes you left a week in between your phone going missing and contacting the Guards
Yes you put too much faith in the Manager downloading the video.

Silly? No
Stupid? No
Ditzy girl on a night out? No

Unfortunately you fall into the category of being human and making a mistake. Yes it is a mistake you will have to pay for yourself but I would say ignore some of the ignoramus comments within this thread. Unless they all never go out drinking, or socialising, or eating, or have their phones welded to their armpit.

Reccomendation for new phone : Android with tracking app.

There was pics of yourself of an Erotic nature on the phone.

You have it don't you?!

I didn't mean to come across as cheeky or whatever else half of the people posting on here are getting hot headed about.

I know it's completely my fault for leaving the damn phone on the counter, I wasn't out that night so I wasn't drunk I had just rolled in mid night shift for food and stupidly left my phone on the counter.

The only thing that annoyed me was the manager failing to download the correct footage, that's all! I asked her 4 times for god sake. I'm hardly blaming McDonalds for not supplying 20 body guards to stand around me while I got my food and make sure I don't forget stuff.

I'm pissed off enough about the phone without people getting worked about something they would hate happen to them.

chill out people, it wouldn't kill to be nice about something, even if it is over the internet.

and to those who tried to help, thank you! it's appreciated.

Case closed.

I'd just be disappointed they choose iPhone over android.

I'm surprised McDonalds were so willing to help. I'd have thought they'd just say they knew nothing about it.

lulu1 · 30-08-2014 01:38AM

If I left my antique (as the kids calls it) on the counter the next customer would probably laugh at it. Keep telling the kids that I want an iphone for christmas they think this is the joke of the century. What do you want an iphone for mum ?? you wouldnt know what to do with it. They are probably right but I will never admit it.

I guess you made a mistake. And she made a mistake.

She's probably saying the same thing "like yeah I downloaded the wrong cctv but he left his bloody phone on the table".

You can't pretend to close a thread because nobody has sympathy for you.

I have sympathy for the OP because she was f**ked over twice in this case, firstly by the prick that stole her phone, and secondly by the people that were supposed to be investigating the theft..

'the manager uploaded the wrong file and the other one was deleted by mistake'

that is a lie straight from hell.

Would anyone care to explain how that could happen?

A lie from hell and nothing else , its clear the McDonald's staff are part of a cartel stroking phones in Dublin.

The people who were supposed to investigate the theft were the Gardaí, whom the op declined to tell. Few shop owners are going to go to the bother of downloading cctv without a request from the Gardaí.

looks like someone stole your op aswell. I wonder will boards.ie hand over the video footage of whodunit.

It's not really part of the McDonalds job description though is it "investigate theft"

Let's not forget that (s)he left the phone down somewhere and walked off, it wasn't robbed without some (unfortunate) silliness help on his own part

MRnotlob606 · 30-08-2014 01:05PM

you would do it out of basic courtesy, wouldn't you?

A relation of mine had her handbag snatched in Madrid and after a bit of shouting she got the attention of some building site workers who ran after the guy and caught him, and managed to get the bag back.

I would like to think the same would happen here, but I doubt it somehow.

Why would you doubt it? Do you think Irish people not as good as Spanish people?
