Phone thief in action

This clip shot by a commuter on a subway in Budapest, Hungary shows a phone thief in action. The man waits for the train to stop so he can grab a cell phone right out of a woman’s hands and bolt.

A bystander started filming the man before the act, as he believed he was acting in a suspicious manner and wanted to chronicle what he was about to do.

The clip became popular in Hungary, and the thief was recognized and arrested.

This could happen to you in public. If you don’t own and safety lanyard for your phone, go buy one.

Puerto Rico could become our 51st state, yet nobody is talking about it.

Puerto Rico statehood

On November 6th, besides the presidential election, the people of Puerto Rico are set to vote on something VERY important.

1. Whether they want to continue to be a territory of the United States.
2. To become a sovereign nation.
3. Become the 51st state.

This is sort of a big deal for our country yet I don’t think it’s even been reported on. It’s been 53 years since we added to the empire, I like many others are hoping for statehood.

What do you want to see happen?

Thanks for bringing this to my attention Tim
