‘What the F*ck Is This?’ Mugger Gives Victim His Flip Phone Back

Sometimes not upgrading your phone can be a blessing in disguise. Kevin Cook was walking through Central Park when a mugger held up a gun to rob him, but the second he saw Cook’s flip phone, he gave it back. According to Cook, the mugger’s exact words were “What the f*ck is this?”

Cook said he owns a “3-year-old generation Windows phone,” and in retrospect found it “humorous” that a mugger gave back something he stole because he didn’t think he could hock it for a decent price.

And Mediaite has obtained exclusive video of the failed mugging, which you can watch below:
