This guy’s got guts. He lacks common sense, but guts he’s got no shortage of.
I think you’re confusing bravery with stupidity and arrogance.
Absolutely no common sense. My iPad disappeared while I was in a store. I filed a report with the police. Meanwhile, I tracked it to a downtown hotel with the find-my-iphone app. No way was I going to retrieve it on my own. I told the police. Whether they scared the perp or not by asking its whereabouts at the hotel, I don't know. But the iPad was anonymously turned in a few days later, in it's case with everything there. I'm not risking my life retrieving a device.
I wouldn’t qualify it as guts when they’re that stupid.
