Mugger refuses to steal flip phone

Last weekend a New York City resident was mugged at gunpoint in Central Park. But when the victim handed over his cell phone, the mugger took it, gave it a perplexed look, and then handed it back.

I’m not sure if this means it’s time for the dude to upgrade his phone (which you can usually do for free through your wireless carrier), or time for muggers to be a little less snooty about electronics. It's one thing to rob a guy, but rob a guy AND make him feel like crap about his cell phone? RUDE.
