So here’s the story.
For those who want the short version here it is:

At 2:30 AM at Planet Hollywood, my brother’s very fancy brand new Droid cell phone was ripped out of his hands. 12 hours later, we have it back, from the criminals…No thanks to the LVPD.

Longer version:

I haven’t seen City Center, so my brother took me there to make my annual donation to Las Vegas gaming. Luck wasn’t on my side, as it never is, but I manage a few Crown on the rocks while I am playing, as well as a big bottle of water.

So we are cruising back to the car, it’s hot as fuck, 103 degrees at 2:00 AM. I am sloshing with Crown and water, so I need to piss. We get to Planet Hollywood and I just need to unload. So we go in there to hit the head. The place is bumpin’. Intrigued, I want to stay and hang out, you know, check it out. My brother is filming me with his phone which is pissing me off because I hate that. He is a nerd so he can’t walk five feet with out looking at email or the pictures or the movies. We finally make are way just outside the casino where he just cannot resist one more look at the movie he just took…That’s when it went nuts…

He was looking at his phone when this piece of shit rips it strait out of his hands. Half drunk and running on instinct I turn immediately and started chasing this mealy, cock sucking, loser piece of shit through Planet Hollywood at top speed through the casino. Now, if you so much as give the hint that you’re going to take a penny more from a casino than you should, you are going to be surrounded by security. But apparently, if you are a low life piece of shit who just stole something, nobody gives a fuck, they just get out of the way.

So I am chasing this ass-lick through the casino we hit some ropes, he jumps over, I go through them. That’s all it took, I lost a couple of milliseconds. He got a couple more feet on me. He hit a junction in the mall area and that’s where I lost him. But he was wearing sneakers, I was wearing Birkenstocks. Before the ropes I was inches for tackling the cock sucking mother fucker.

After the adventure security caught up with my brother and I. I am pumping full of adrenaline, and give them an ear full whether they deserved it or not. We filed a report, explained everything apologized where we should have and finally went home.

So my brother files the police reports and does all the crap he is supposed to do to file an insurance claim.

Then he checks ‘Craig’s list’. There, an hour after it happened, the piece of shit posted it for sale.

I went to bed, he continued to research.

I get up this morning. My brother made contact but they seemed to get suspicious and cut him off. I am not from here so I used my cell and I began a dialog with these cock suckers. I finally talk to a girl, the apparent mule. I told her I wanted to buy the phone real bad, that I have been looking for one, etc. She tells me that her sister has had it a month but she wants to switch carriers. Bullshit since the phone was released literally 3 days ago and the manufacture date was 7/7/10. Obviously my brother had all the documentation as he just got it.

We arrange to meet at a casino…I don’t want to say which one, these people were good to us and I don’t want someone to read and think they can do shit there.

We get there early, we let security know what was happening, they were not happy about it, but they were tolerant. Naturally, being a piece of shit criminal, the mule bitch was late. We were nervous and were prepared to bolt at the fist sign of trouble, we did not know who we were dealing with. We brought the receipt and docs for the phone with us. The mule shows up and we meet her. She hands us the phone and we start looking at it, we pull it apart and find the IMEI number. It matches the receipt and the box. Security surrounds us at this point. We tell her, that they stole this phone from us 12 hours ago. She freaks out. We agreed in the end, if she walked away, we would to. We have the phone back.
You know why? Because LVPD refused to help us. We made them aware of the situation. We practically were handing them an apparent ring (as researched proved it was) snatch and sell. They would not even so much as even send an officer to maybe inquire. We did it all by our shelves. We beat the criminals we got the phone back, with pictures and all…

Vegas is never boring…

I’d like to say fuck you to the thieves and the police…We won.[/quote]

who the fuck wears birkenstocks anymore? did you leave your crocs at home?[/quote]

What are you the fasion police or something? Yes I wear birks and I love them, I don’t give a flying fuck if I am the only one. When this pair dies, I’ll get a new pair.[/quote]

Sounds like you owe them a thank you letter, without these babies you would have ended this all inside the Casino.

thats awesome! Good work… but I think the moral of the story is that the OP needs to work on his cardio/sprinting so that he could have caught the guy and smashed his face in the first place :)[/quote]

No way. He almost caught the guy wearing Birks! Do you know how hard that would be? OP must be a stud to be able to move that fast in Birks.

Thanks, but I don’t really consider myself a stud, but I was awful close. I think he was probably a slow thief. I was on a pissed off mission that’s for sure.

A friend of mine had this story when he came back from Vegas.

He gets off the plane and checks in. Goes across the street to a casino and as he’s grabbing the handle he hears a poping sound followed by another. My friends been around guns all his life and he knows what that sound is so he backs up onto the sidewalk. Sure enough a few seconds later a dude with two red stains on the front of his shirt stumbles out and drops dead ten feet from my buddy.

Welcome to Las Vegas!

Do you know which casino?? Sound like old town which is more seedy than the strip, but no where near the airport.

I don’t recall the casino, he’s a cheap fucker so I don’t think it was a top-o-line one. He found out later it was two friends that were fighting over some money won, shocker right? Couple of forty something year olds. The guy who was shot was wearing a white dress shirt so the two bullit holes were hard to miss.

What little winnings he won he spent at a basement firing range lol.

Damn. That was a good story. I was already to do the whole sarcastic “cool story bro” thing, but no shit that really WAS a good one.

It made me mad as hell though. I am glad you got your phone back dude but that bitch needed to go to the slammer or the hospital or both.

The cops flatly refuse to help. We explained everything and exactely how we knew that, that was the exact phone and how this was a ring given the history on Craig’s list, bunch of phones and PSP’s with no chargers no boxes, etc. I guess they really needed the speed trap revenue. I would have liked nothing more than to have them arrested and put out of business.

That being said, that whole account has been deleted from craig’s list, including all the history. Currently, on the Vegas site, there are no cell phones for sale with no chargers and other equipment. I’m sure they’ll be back, but they don’t understand how we found them, so maybe we scared them a bit…Nah, doubt it…they’ll be back in full form soon.

Its very common for the cops to just leave you to solve your own shit when it involves this kind of stuff. My father had an officer come when a random kid (friend of a friend) stole 1.50 off his desk but if someone steals your lawn mower or some shit and throws it on craigslist…well its your own fuckin problem.

There is a whole list of goods that theft rings go after. High End Kayaks (in the $1,000s) were popular a few years ago, just recently a ring started stealing expensive designer baby stollers (700$+). One couple met with the fuckers…grabbed the stroller and they ran. Cops said gtfo when they wanted help.

This is part two of my friends week in LV

Later in the week my friend decided to rent a car and cruise out to the desert for a look see. He drives out there and goes for a walk. He’s out there for a bit and then notices some jet fighters over the hills aways. This is when the Raptors were still a badly kept secret because he recognizes them and thinks to himself that’s pretty cool.

Anyway, he starts to wonder if he’s stumbled onto a firing range so he starts to head back. He’s almost to his car when he hears thump thump thump, sure enough a blackhawk helicopter lands between him and his rental car. Out pours the dudes in all the gear screaming at him to get down, stfu etc. They take him back to the base and throw him in a cell till he checks out, which he did. I do remember him mentioning that the folder they had on him was an inch thick, everything on him and his family going back three generations. It was all smiles at the end but for awhile he was shitting bricks lol.

The Air Force dudes said to my buddie that it happens quit often because people take the signs down./hi-jack.

The truth is out there…

We wanted help. And I am fine if the cops want us to solve our own problems, but they best not arrest us for the way we do it if they don’t want to help. We did all the work, all they had to do was show up and arrest someone. We could not have made it simpler if we tried.
