#2Wow what a crazy story. The twist half way through after the first court case was cool.
Trying not to spoil anything for someone who hasn't read or finished reading the article.
But first it sucks how much time was spent by everyone in the story especially the victim. It also sucks that if you have to go to court again because something comes up that shows the defense, Uber, in this case, did something clearly wrong that wasn't known the first time, you seemingly can't increase the amount you're suing for. So all the expenses of going back to court again, etc, come out of your pocket. That's lame.
But at least you won in the end^. I'll be weary of Uber from now on and my belongings. I can't completly stop using Uber because of friends who don't care. Finally, who knows how other companies would handle this. Probably better, but, I don't know.
^ not a spoiler like a commentor noted because the title and URL both say he won

#4Misleading title. Robbery is theft by force or threat of force. Although the author says he was "robbed", he alleges theft by driving off with his bag, no violence involved.

That's also in the title, so isn't a spoiler.

Does not need to be violent to be a robbery

#8For me, the most heartbreaking aspect of this story is the sheer amount of time and effort that had to be squandered.
You could probably have designed an app, coded a site, or written a small novel with that time.

It's a legal term, the legal definition is that robbery involves physical force or fear: http://blogs.findlaw.com/blotter/2015/01/whats-the-differenc...

#10> I ended up going to an Apple store as they had just made everything in their laptops Type-C, but in typical Apple fashion they were $90 and that just seemed outrageous. Not too far away a Microsoft store had a charger for only $30, so I bought that instead.
Was this nugget really necessary? And, by the way, a laptop charger for $90 is a reasonable price; if anything, I'd be more outraged about a $30 phone charger.
