Sayaka Fukuda, 29 year old shoe designer, was on the N train platform at Fifth Avenue station near 59th Street when she was mugged.
Startled, Fukuda went home and did what anyone would do. Filed a police report and waited for justice to nab this criminal.
While browsing her email, she found something unusual. An outbound email. It’s a little complicated to send an email while you’re filing a police report.
The outbound email was a picture of the very people who mugged her and stole her phone.
Picture sent in, criminal busted, phone returned.
Moral of the story: If you’re going to steal something, learn to use it first.
