And yet... A friend was walking in soma watching a video on his iphone.  He noticed someone peering over his shoulder; the dude grabbed the iphone and took off.  My friend chased him, and this is where it gets interesting.<p>The thief, instead of outrunning my friend and&#x2F;or just dropping the phone, punched my friend.  My friend plus a bystander who saw the punch ended up chasing the thief down.  SF police don&#x27;t give a fuck less about a stolen iphone, but that punch?  The thief is doing 2-4 years.
