This weekend, my cell phone got stolen, along with cash and a bunch of credit cards(one was used for fraudulent purchases, but luckily I'm not liable). I'm hurt and upset, because it'd cost $200 to replace and my phone had all my phone numbers and meaningful photos on it. I have suspicion of who took my phone. I already filed a police report and had the service suspended.
My question is, what if I ran into the thief at a public place like say, a mall, and the thief had my phone? (my phone is VERY distinctive) And suppose I snatched it out of thief's hand, said "Thanks a lot, ******" and ran away with my stolen phone...would that be grounds for arrest?
Basically what I'm asking is -- can I get arrested for "stealing" back a stolen phone that is really mine?
