After his sister’s phone was stolen, a man received a text from the world’s dumbest thief.
What follows is a brilliant text conversation that ultimately brought the phone back to its rightful owner.
Many viewers ask “how did the thief get the brother’s number if the phone was locked?” but the answer is frighteningly simple. The brother called his sister, possibly to help her look for her phone, and his contact information appeared on the lock screen. All the thief had to do was write down the number and text from another phone.
The brother shared screenshots of the conversation along with his own editorial on imgur,
My little sister who is going to be a senior worked hard all summer to buy an iPhone, only to have it stolen (or fall out, she is still not entirely sure) out of her boyfriends car a week ago. She had not activated the find my iphone app so we reported it stolen but were pretty sure someone was just being gifted a free iphone courtesy of my sister’s summer wages. On top of that, she had also bought a wallet case and lost all her ID’s and cards as well.
So yesterday I get this text from a strange number. I give my sister a quick call to make sure it is not her and effectively realize someone is fishing through her contacts or documents in her wallet to get her password.
I am well aware after the WTH that his is not my sister BTW.
I was bored so I say to myself, why not have some fun. We will never get the phone back, but what the heck, might as well kill some time.
I am certain that his or her insistence will at the very least make this an lengthy exchange.
I’m convinced this person is humoring me and just stringing me along until I cave.
No one can be buying this!
Again, I am thinking, he is humoring me but I was like, let’s see how long this lasts until he stops texting me back.
AVERY FTW!!!!
My sister got an email this morning. I have peaked!
Behold!
