Genius Uses OkCupid To Get a “Date” With the Scumbag That Stole His Phone

What do you do when your iPhone is stolen ? Cry ? Get a new one ? yell at the sky ? How abouttracking down the thief by lure him to a aphrodisiac date over OkCupid and then threatening him with a hammer so he gives it back ? That last one worked out pretty well for Nadav Nirenberg .

On New Years Eve , Nirenberg ( trombonist for awesome - tastic ska band Streetlight Manifesto , I might add ) lost his iPhone 4 in a cab . The very next day , he woke up to email alarum that the thief had been using the telephone set to subject matter hotties on OkCupid , and sprang into action . Creating a simulated profile for a non - existent “ Jennifer in BK , ” pair with an image of a busty babe culled from Google , he message the stealer with a suggestion , and suggested the duo meet up “ Jennifer ’s ” apartment . “ I used lots of winks and smiley faces so I would seem like a girl , ” Nirenbergtold the New York Post .

And when the stealer arrived with a bottle of wine-coloured , Nirenberg evince up to the room access not wear something skimpy , but rather brandishing a hammer . The stealer sheepishly returned the phone , and Nirenberg even gave him $ 20 for his trouble before he ran off . And for the cherry red on top , Nirenbergtold the Post , “ As he was walking away , I said , ‘ You smell dandy , though , ’ . ” How ’s that for a date with destiny ?
