My god JGJr is just scary solid muscle . <| sep |> Too much for spacedge I imagine . <| sep |> And this is why trump won <| sep |> Well ok then <| sep |> Well he ' s already stolen your phone and believes he can sell it back to you . This guy is very unlikely to be happy about any way where you even try to acquire the phone without giving him the $ 300 . Your options are 1 Go to the policeparentssome other avenue to get the phone back and have decent odds of doing so . or 2 Just give them either $ 300 or the phone and not get him in trouble , knowing that you just put a target on your back as a sucker for when he wants more money . There is a very good reason why the US doesn ' t negotiate with terrorist it sets a precedent that you are willing to make a deal when the other party pulls shit like this , meaning any time they want payment they know they can just continue to pull this shit .
