Left on a Store Counter for a Short Time, iPhone Stolen
|
A 19-year-old Darien woman forgot to pick up her smartphone from the counter when she bought something at a gas station convenience store late Saturday afternoon, and almost immediately she returned to the counter to get it — too late. Darien police described what happened with this account:
At about 4:15 p.m., the teenager bought something at the Standard gas station convenience store at 180 Noroton Ave. (at the southeast corner of Noroton and West avenues). She left the iPhone, valued at $600, on the counter, left the store, discovered she no longer had the phone and returned soon after. By 4:41 p.m., she called police to report the theft.
