An 18-year-old guy lost his phone so he used a phone-tracking app to locate it and was killed! See what happened…
CNN says that the young man left his phone inside of a taxi in London, and he used a phone-tracking app to find it when he realized that it was gone. The young man tracked his phone to a location where three men were sitting in a car.
After he talked to the men about the phone, the car started to drive away and the young man jumped in and he was shot multiple times!
From the article:

“The vehicle started to drive away so the victim partially climbed onto and held the driver’s side door.”
“The car drove a short distance and shots were fired.”

Police found the body of the young man nearby. He died from multiple gunshot wounds. Police are looking for the three suspects that were in the car.
The car was found abandoned nearby after it crashed into a telephone pole and the victim’s phone was inside.
The spokesperson for the police said that people shouldn’t stop using tracking apps to find lost phones, but they should “use discretion in sizing up the situation.” If you encounter a situation where you are not comfortable, you should call the police to help you.

Open carry and castle doctrine. Don't get your phone stollen in the first place.

That's good Donk, really good.

These kids depend on their cell phone so much, they literally lose their mind without it.

A man walks across the street. He dies.

London? I thought guns were illegal?

How can this be???? guns are nearly 100% banned in the UK. I thought that this strict banning would stop that type madness.

So F'n true! I work with so many young people. They literally get out of their cars staring at their phones, walk through parking lot almost getting hit by other people looking at their phones while driving while staring at their own phone. Every break, lunch, as soon as they clock out, BAM, on that phone. It just baffles the zhit out of me.
Just past Monday, dude came in all bummed out. Said lost his phone. He would not stop talking about it, then actually said he was sick at his stomach and needed to leave early. Came in next day, had found his phone, happy as zhit, back to working his merry ways.

Also people make me laugh when they complain about losing their phone, or it got stolen at a party or concert. And they are so upset, cause all their precious pictures are on that phone.
Back it up. Hell I don't even take many pics or DL docs, but anytime I do, it is immediately backed up to the cloud.
