Caller: Siri, how many nuns drive?

Siri: Did you say none?

Caller: No Siri, I'm asking you; how many nuns drive?

Siri: That would be none

Caller: Siri, how many nuns have sex?

Siri: They don't want nun, aren't getting nun, and won't need nun.

kidsizedcoffin: I don't see where it says that the passerby didn't call for help.

Yeah, and it doesn't say he said he was going to bring the guy's phone back. Damn liberal media.

Aside from games, wifi browsing, and music - won't the owner deactivate the plan and report it stolen? Point is would ATT or Verizon happily take a credit card for something they was stolen?

Lost Thought 00: Getting your phone stolen totally makes up for you being a murderer

It was a traffic accident, not a capital offense. Besides, nobody died. The nun only had minor injuries.

What a perfect confluence of douchebaggery!
What are the odds?
The only way it could get better would be for the iPhone thief to be run down by church bus. Full Circle

Lost Thought 00: Getting your phone stolen totally makes up for you being a murderer

Perhaps you should go back and read TFA

Well, the article didn't say the guy was NOT a murderer.
did not RTFA

RoyBatty: How is this amusing to anyone other than a serial killer or a thirty-something submitter that still likes to use a magnifying glass to pop pill bugs?

Wait, you can pop pill bugs?

Pretty much... a local chain of phone stores where I live has been robbed at gunpoint about 5 or 6 times now, always targetting iPhones. Seemed really stupid to me, since the phones are all traceable, but I assume the criminals just sell the phones off for a little bit of cash or drugs and dont really care much about the end result.

I think the providers can only remotely track the sim card, not the phone itself. So, slip in the sim you got from your POS phone that's already on an AT&T plan, upgrade to iPhone service (You probably couldn't do this right away) and poof, you just saved $400.

I don't believe this is true. They networks can track the phone itself:

They can, they just haven't been bothered to until recently (which the link you posted says.) Of course they didn't care to because stolen phones lead to new phone sales.

Well I be go to hell, I just learned something. (On FARK!)
Good to know if I ever get my phone stolen I have a better chance of it coming back.

That robber is a hero!

Yes the SIM card has data but each phone has an equivalent of a MAC address for the entire system to work. I suppose some people won't deactivate their plans until it gets shut off for lack of payment, but they would hopefully be few and far between.

Nevermind, read the link posted above. Truly sickening.

Obviously the Lord was looking out for her. It's a miracle!

Sister Mary Deviant of the Order of the Voluptuously Undulating will be remembered for her martyrdom, and the wretched Atheio-liberalii who so viciously ran her down, laughing maniacally in service to his wicked beliefs to ascend in the name of Slaanesh will never see his transmogrification thanks to the intervention of His Lordshipness, McJesus.
