Geeks: 1 Criminals: 0 w00t! That is kinda cool though. Sounds like something I would do... assuming I were rich and had a phone w/ camera built in... and were younger... and worthy of kidnapping... but still.
hehe that reminds me off what i did once i was out side with my m8 playing with his r/c car and i was taking pics of it (not on my phone) then this strange guy started walking round looking into houses where the ppl wernt in (proberly eyeing up houses u burgel) neway so i was taking pictures and this guy thought i took a pic of him ,he stuck his middle finger up at me and ran away.
i think this aint that clever. U point ur phone at a crim and try and take a pic and ur just more likely to get ur plushty new phone nicked!
Maybe if he was trying to nick your stuff, in this case, he was trying to nick the whole guy not just the phone.
