VIDEO: Man Makes Bait Phone to See Who Steals It. Thieves Weren’t Expecting What Happened

In the past years, we have become highly dependent on our phones and we never leave the house without them.

We always have them with us because they hold everything we could need from the means to contact anyone, to social media, clock, mirror, directions, everything you could need.

You have a lot of personal information and you probably keep everything open so anyone can access everything about your life.

This is why some people feel like they have lost a huge part of their lives and have no privacy anymore if they lose their phone or it gets stolen.

According to smash.com, after getting his phone stolen off a table he was sitting at prankster Tom Mabe decided to create what he’s called the Bait Phone – a Saumsung Galaxy smartphone that Mabe has turned into a wickedly ingenious remote controlled stun gun, so whoever takes it without asking gets a shock when Mabe presses a button.

To test it out Mabe takes it out on the streets and leaves it lying around, tempting would-be thieves.

Firstly he pretends to be asleep at a bus stop and hooks himself his first thief, who grabs the phone and walks off feeling pleased with his stolen booty—only to get a shocking surprise seconds later.

Each time he does it the would-be stealer drops the phone and runs off, throwing the phone away as if it was a burning coal.

So it definitely works. That could also be a downside though, the thief flinging or dropping it so violently as a reflex to getting a shock that it damages the phone. Still, perhaps better than it being stolen.

Plus it’s funny to see the thieves getting their just desserts—if anyone’s ever had their phone stolen they’ll derive some extra satisfaction from this too.

The video above is the third one in the Bait Phone series.
So next time you get tempted by an unattended phone sitting on a table or bench think twice before taking it.

Tome Mabe might be to far away. Laughing at your impending misfortune.
Mabe also says that he’ll be manufacturing the Bait Phone soon to sell, he’ll update people when they go into production.

Check out more from Tom Mabe at his website and YouTube channel. A lot of people would want to have a phone like this one so that they can protect themselves.

If you think that you are skilled enough you could try building one yourself because there are videos online that teach you how to do it.

This video should come as a lesson to those that think that stealing someone’s phone might be a good idea.

Stealing is bad in general, especially if you decide to steal something that means so much to people.

There are a lot of ways to protect your phone nowadays but somehow thieves manage to steal them and use them as they please by by-passing all the security measures or just selling them quickly from one to the other.
