    Do you recognise this phone thief?

    Got this from Giz UK.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3hJ65W2xO1c

    Full credit to the guy recording for showing so much constraint. I know it's stupid to say, but honestly, I'd of nutted the ****.

    Blood started boiling watching the video!

    I hope someone recognises him quick time.

    On the way to Guildford, hm? I'll be spreading this around too. Quite the loser, I agree.

    Re: Do you recognise this phone thief?

    seriously I'da called the guy a w**ker again and let him hit me. Reasonable force to put his head through the window in self defence...

    Absolutely amazing he did this infront of people. and just walked away!

    Oh I'm so forwarding this to everyone I know....

    That said, I doubt it will take long now before someone who knows him comes forward. Hell the guy's bicycle is also fairly distinct.

    I wonder if the guard even done anything? Doubt it.

    Pretty good of the guy to confront him, and leave his laptop on the train to pursue him haha

    Re: Do you recognise this phone thief?

    What is the law on recovering property from a thief ? Surely you're allowed to do something ?

    Added to my facebook as well.

    Think he would had been in his all rights to do a civilian arrest there and use reasonable force to detain him.

    Anyway, with such a clear photo of his face and everything, I think it's only a matter of time till someone finds his name and he gets arrested. It's likely he travels that route often. So someone will get him.

    Yes, it's called civilian arrest.

    Re: Do you recognise this phone thief?

    I've put it on my facebook too, don't know how much good it will do. But I hope that the guy gets caught for it. I can't believe that someone would be so casual about stealing a phone and continue with it once being spotted by someone.
