He stole your money, so I agree with what you did. I wish I did something like that when a client stole my money the first and only time, exactly same situation. It taught me to be glued to my stuff. You've got big balls BK.

Him going to the Police about his phone, I think not.
Always keep you bag with you at all times, even a pop to the bathroom.
Make sure all your personal belongings are in your bag - money paid, house/car keys 2 mobile phones and a rape alarm. Make sure too that there is no personal info in your bag.

He is a nob and a thief. Can you report him on here in warnings section?

Celeste I do agree completely with the logic behind that.

But in practice it will not work. The police will give him the phone straight back and he will not be charged with theft of money as there is no proof. They probably will not be interested in the theft of the phone (which is still a crime) but remember by taking it there you are confessing a crime. Prostitution may be legal in the UK but theft is not.

Unfortunately in criminal law you can't steal goods to the value of those someone has stolen from you. One offence doesn't cancel out another and the police are not there to mediate disputes between people (as the courts do in civil law and family law matters). They have targets to meet in regards how many offences they charge people with, and they will happily charge you OR him OR both; depending on whether or not they have sufficient evidence, not depending on the morality of the situation.

Keep the phone for a bit in case he pays you off, if not, then get rid of it. As someone else said he will be unlikely to report it. In his mind he's thinking... does he want a court case (remember court records are public) which will include mention of him robbing (and using) a prostitute for the sake of retrieving a £300 phone? I very much doubt it.

If you're freaking out and feel nervous having his phone in your house, chuck it in a river.

Depending on the phone, aren't you concerned he'll either track the GPS signal or go to the police?

It’s an iPhone XR. I actually contacted the non emergency police line to ask for advice and the lady said someone will be in contact tomorrow and if I’d like to give the phone back to him via post since I know his address I should do so but she made it clear to not contact or meet him in person whatsoever since an argument took place.

I will do that just now. I wanted to earlier but I thought I have his phone so I can’t even post his number but you’re right. I kno a lot of details about him so I’ll put it up.


And to the other people that replied I really appreciate you guys taking time to give me advice. Xx

He is the thief you just got a small amount of justice by taking something of his. Police will see it is a argument/dispute. You would have been better off calling police when you was there they would have found the money and he would have been in trouble. I know of 2 workers who called police in the past over client not paying up or snatching it back both times client ended up paying it immediately when police arrived and heard what they were doing. One was threatened with a night in the cell and being taken to police station so he paid her apologised and police left.

I reported a theft of my phone by an ex long time ago they did not do anything in the end. I got a crime number did a statement etc but then it never went anywhere as they classed it as a civil dispute etc so it would have been a small claims situation in the end. If it would have been a more straight forward robbery/theft they probably would have taken action.

Has he since contacted you ?

He contacted me earlier and I gave him my details to deposit my money. He just imessaged me again just now saying he’s made the deposit and if he can get his phone back tomorrow. He did send me double the money so that’s a plus but no way I’m meeting him. I’ll post his phone on Monday morning
And just get it over with. Again, thanks for the advice guys xx

Fucking amazing!...you're an Amazon Warrior BK.
