Man tracks, then brawls with, the stranger who had his missing iPhone

1/9/2013

Kenneth Schmidgall and his friend Greg Torkelson used the "Find my iPhone" app to try to track down Schmidgall's missing phone. During their slow drive through San Diego, they spotted a man on a bike whose movements matched the green dot on the app's screen. Schmidgall confronted the man while Torkelson filmed, and the two got into a fight that would've gotten a nod of approval from Tyler Durden of "Fight Club" himself. Torkelson pepper-sprayed the man before an off-duty police officer stepped in and held him until the cops arrived. "I don't think people should [get] in fights because of their cellphones, but … you have to stand up for yourself," Schmidgall said. [Source]
