It was reported.. This is not just happening in New Haven , a person fitting the description did the same thing in West Haven. By the way the thief is a female, the victim in New haven was a male.

I had a guy ask me to use my phone near Grand Vin and I denied him. Emergency YES, need to call my dealer NO.

If they say it is an emergency call yourself when it is safe to take out your phone.

This happen about a year and half ago

I wrote before,"If they say it is an emergency call yourself when it is safe to take out your phone". You also have be careful that when they see the phone they do not pull out a gun and try to rob it or shoot you. It is my understanding the person whose phone was stolen was walking a big dog and the both of them almost got hit by the car.

Closing out dated issues.
