Phone thieves in London have begun returning stolen phones once they realize the phones aren’t iPhones.
Multiple Android users told London Centric that muggers snatched their phones, checked the model, and immediately handed them back. One thief even said, “Don’t want no Samsung,” before returning the device.
Victims described the encounters as shocking and strangely insulting, with some realizing the mugging attempt only after the thief walked away.
Experts say the motive is simple, iPhones have a far higher resale value. London recorded over 80,000 stolen phones last year, mainly driven by gangs on e-bikes.
