    Why did you have to wait until the next day to get your collateral back when you could have, as originally planned, gone into the house to get the cash and re-emerged mere moments later to pay him and have the phone returned?

    This is the biggest thing that doesn't make sense. Next time don't get so drunk.

    Not robbery unless force or threat of force applied...


    so if I leave my car running and unattended on the street and some guy gets in a drives it away, without ever meeting me, he has not robbed my car?

    Nope.

    He would have stolen it, and would be prosecuted for theft. Not robbery.

    Different offences, the distinction was preserved by the Theft and Fraud Offences Act.

    I would have taken the taxi as collateral, tell him to come back the next morning for it

    Maybe the taxi driver WAS an African prince!.
