- benatkin 7y agoIt isn't surprising. I think loss aversion kicks in here. The phone they stole doesn't rightfully belong to them, but they possessed it, so to lose it, not only does the total worth of their possessions decrease, they also have to deal with the blow of a loss, psychologically. So their anger is in full force and they're willing to go beyond how far they usually go, which is pretty far, given that they're stealing iPhones. Here's a story I found. I remember reading it. Tragic. :( https://www.theverge.com/2015/6/18/8809741/teenager-murdered-tracking-lost-smartphone https://www.theverge.com/2015/6/18/8809741/teenager-murdered...
