That's actually not what I said. I was disclosing a potential bias but I never said that I "changed my tune".
I was mugged about two month ago and had my expensive iPhone stolen out of my hands. I filed a police report and reported the phone stolen to Apple, but I very explicitly said that I didn't want to press any kind of criminal charges on the off chance that the phone is recovered and the thief was caught.

I of course did the iPhone lock on "Find My", and since I reported the IMEI number to the police I don't think they'll be able to easily activate it, so I suspect that the phone is probably on the bottom of the Hudson now. He did lightly shove me, but I wasn't really "injured" at all; not a scratch on me outside of my ego.
