Ya know, probably like many other folks, I have frantically searched for my missing cellphone. Even in public like this woman. The first thing that comes to my mind is not, the black guy must have stolen it. Im sure this woman will be saying Im not racist. I have a black friend. But this is not normal. The times I was frantically searching my purse for my phone, the first thought was, where did I last use it? Hmm, is it in the couch? Under the drivers seat? Did I leave it on top of the car.
I think thats a normal reaction, not the black guy must have stolen it.

Takes two seconds to call your own number, and maybe a minute to use location features (which will ring your phone).
