A heartbroken family was pleading for the public's help on Tuesday after a teenage girl died trying to stop a man who stole her iPhone, police said.

Ruby Rubio, 15, was walking with her 7-year-old sister on West Warner Avenue in Santa Ana on July 3 when she was confronted by a man, according to the Santa Ana Police Department.

The man snatched her iPhone before he jumped into the passenger seat of a silver or gray Pontiac waiting nearby, police said.

Rubio had just gotten the iPhone one week earlier and promised her mother she would take care of it.

Rubio chased after the robber and jumped onto the car as it began to drive away, but she fell off and was critically hurt, police said.

"As they drove off, they swerved, she was hanging on to the trunk," Santa Ana Police Cpl. Anthony Bertagna said. "She fell off, struck her head and that's how this started."

The car drove away, and Rubio died at the hospital two days later.

Santa Ana police urged anyone with information to call 714-245-8390 or 1-855-TIP-OCCS.

Ruined and dead are two different things right? 

We will be living in a world of electric cars and solar power. Not need for oil.

Ahhhhhh The promised Utopia! I can't wait.  :woot:

Wonder how much pressure the parents put on her to take care of her iPhone. Some parents can get really strict/mean about these kind of things. So kind of hard to say "dumb teen".

So true and a reality as well. Some parents sacrifice other things just to make his kid happy with a phone or computer. My guess is that she was using the phone in public too much and the thief know how to take it from her when she got distrated. I don't like to use my phone in public, specially in a big city or where is too crowded. My phone is a 6 inch beast and can catch the eye of anyone around.

LOL oil is used in far more then just running your automobile and energy. Oil has uses in thousands of products and applications.

True in that statement but the less oil we use in most products the better. The other remain are going to catch up at some point as well in the near future.

I dread to think whats going to happen when the oil runs out. We are going to tear each other to pieces. 

I'm more worried when we run out of water. We'll run out of clean, drinkable water long before we run out of oil.

      Stop asking people that. It's a "No True Scotsman" argument in that you are attempting to discredit the opinions of a person by Attacking the Messenger. The reason that these are logical fallacies is the TRUTH is based on facts as supported by evidence. Nothing else. So, always debate the facts with evidence to reach the truth. Once you learn to do this, you'll be able to recognize when people are fearmongering and lying to you for their own selfish ends.

      It doesn't matter if you didn't directly hear it from person X or Y. Every one of your statements comes straight from the racist, skinhead, anti-immigrant, be afraid of everything, "they are all taking our jobs", etc. etc. mouthpieces. That's where Farag and Putin heard it from too...and used it against the UK. So, while you keep disavowing the people who publicly peddled that position, you keep proving over and over again that those lies influenced you into being tricked when the Brexit vote came around too. In fact, your final sentence makes it crystal clear that it was the racist/anti-immigrant lies you fell and voted for, since you stated that you didn't have an issue with the economic trade issues with the EU. Ahem. To be clear, all of these LIES are EONS old, mate. They are the same fearmongering lies peddled to the same ignorant, gullible cowards by the same charlatans, snake-oil salesmen, and would be demagogues who've been doing this since caveman Ugh lied about his slightly different neighbor in order to steal his land. And, finally, you answered your own previous question. The reason that the EU isn't clamoring to bring the UK back is that they have had enough of people who would rather shoot themselves in the foot than get over their "insecurity issues". It's the same reason the entire world is moving away from the USA as fast as it can...
