It has finally happened. Even robbers are being picky. In a case in New York, a man was almost mugged, but that never happened because as the man handed over his flip phone, he was met with contempt.

Kevin Cook told the New York Post that, "Once he saw my phone, he looked at it like, 'What the f–k is this?' and gave it back to me . . . I guess he didn't think he could get anything for it. It's kind of humorous."

Don't want to get mugged? Use a cheap dumb phone, we guess. [NY Post via Digg]
