Woman Dies in iPhone Theft

[SkaterP]

A thief fleeing with an iPhone pushed a woman to her death down a flight of metro stairs in Chicago.
At rush hour on Monday, a man snatched an iPhone from a woman who was using it at Fullerton station platform in the Lincoln Park neighborhood.

As he ran off, the man knocked over Sally Katona-King, 68, on her way home from her church receptionist?s job.

Katona-King died yesterday after tumbling down the station stairs. Hospital officials believe that she suffered a cerebral hemorrhage.
?It?s a worldwide problem where iPhones are being taken, resold to fences, which are then resold for a higher price,? detective Cmdr. Gary Yamashiroya said. ?It?s something that police departments across the country are trying to find solutions to.?

Police have not located the perp, though they hope video surveillance footage will help lead them to him.

That's why it's better not to talk on the phone while you're in a bus, or when you're walking down the street that you don't know very well. In my country, they'd kill you for a buck, kids are getting robbed and beaten every day just because they like to show off their cellphones and stuff. I don't feel sorry for them, they kinda deserve it to be honest, bunch of people from fucked up neighborhoods don't have enough money to eat daily, and they come in their neighborhood or in a bus showing off expensive stuff. When you think about it logically, it's obvious that they're going to get robbed and maybe even beaten/stabbed.

Learn from this, a cellphone is a Mobile phone, when you talk, do not walk.
