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..



that is a lie straight from hell.

Would anyone care to explain how that could happen?

People like you make me happy! I was told by the manager that she would download the footage for me straight away, I asked her 4 times and the garda did too, it shouldnt have made a difference when I reported it to the gaurds because had she done her job right in the first place the footage wouldn't have been lost.

Something tells me that they're trying to hide something from the Gardai because on first request she "couldn't find me" I told her to search again, its ridiculous..she basically tried to tell me I wasn't in McDonalds that night. Within 20 minutes she was calling me again telling me that she had found me and told me you could see the guy taking to phone and his face was very clear.

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.

Actually, according to the Gardai, it was theft on McDonalds premisses and THEY should have been the one to report it to the gardai straight away, obviously I should have as well but I wasn't in Galway, big error on my behalf too, I know that.

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

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.

I definitely would! I handed in a lost jacket yesterday that had a phone and car keys in the pocket. I know how it feels to loose something like that and I know for certain that the person who lost it would be delighted today that some arrse didn't find themselves a comfy warm jacket and new phone. It's all about good karma people! I hope the priick that stole my phone has the same thing happen to him, knackerr.

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.

"the person who stole my phone"

Yes this is true but a more accurate representation of the truth is "the person who took my phone after I foolishly left it on a table"

Read my post a page or so back about leaving my ipad on the train. Amazingly (and I am so lucky) I got it back. Had I not got it back I would NOT be saying my ipad was stolen. I would be saying I left it on the train and someone obv took it

I empathise with you, it's **** and yeah I hope bad karma goes their way but jesus christ man accept responsibility and move on.

Read back to my post too.
