OK, so here is how it went down. I was walking to my car at 2:30am, as I usually do, to get the smartphone that I left in there so that I could post of the forum. As I was walking down my driveway, out of the corner of my eye I saw a guy with a black hoodie pulled waaaaay down and he was clearly also posting to this forum on his smartphone. The whole time I was wondering if he was within the 21 foot zone and if I had a reasonable way to remove myself from this "situation". Luckily I was able to get to my car and remove my phone long enough to get a post started. The perp saw my face in the light of my phone and bugged out right away. Here is the really scary part, after I called the police and they promptly showed up 45 minutes later the first thing they did was take away my phone, remove the SIM card and the battery and then the officer locked my phone, the SIM card and the battery in the trunk of my car. I'm like "whoa, dude, are you leaving me out here without the protection of my phone?" Well he didn't like that and proceeded to chew me out for, like, and hour or so.
So my question is, if I was unable to post on this forum due to someone's arbitrary rule, would I even be here to tell you this true story? Huh?
