I find this story funny. I shouldn’t. But I do.
Apparently thieves are picky when it comes to the smartphones they steal. According to this report in London Centric:
The thieves took Sam’s phone, his camera and even the beanie hat off his head. After checking Sam had nothing else on him, they started to run off.
What happened next was a surprise. With most of the gang already heading down the Old Kent Road, one turned around and handed Sam back his Android phone.
The thief bluntly told him why: “Don’t want no Samsung.”
As I said, I shouldn’t find anyone who finds themselves in this sort of misfortune funny. The victims. Not the thieves, obviously.
Discerning criminals are all about the resale value apparently. Which, if all of the analysts and fanboys get smart about it, might be a new metric to score the ridiculous game of which smartphones are better than another.
