Here’s how insanely important our phones are now . . .
A 33-year-old restaurant manager in St. Louis named Jonathan Neukomm got carjacked on Monday.
He was sitting in his car on his break Monday night, when the carjacker walked up with a gun and told him to get out. So he did.
Then he tried to reason with the guy and told him it wasn’t worth it. And the guy responded by trying to SHOOT him in the leg. But luckily his gun jammed.
At that point, Jonathan decided to throw his keys on the ROOF of the restaurant, because he knew he could go up and get them later. Which was pretty clever. But unfortunately, he didn’t throw them far enough.
They ended up on the ground next to the building, and the carjacker grabbed them. But while he was rushing over, he dropped his phone, and Jonathan grabbed it. Then they started negotiating.
Police probably could have used the phone to I.D. the guy. It’s not clear if he realized that or not. But he agreed to trade the car for the phone, then ran off, and police are still looking for him.
