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.

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.

    • Why Delta Chat is the best decentralized messenger you have probably never tried

      By Nas · Posted

      Interesting share -- however it does not make sense: Email messages get stored somewhere, so how is Delta Chat "based on email" and decentralized without actually storing anything? By Web3 standard practices, the various Relays would require dedicated storage to make messages available to the recipients (like a large series of message queue channels, akin to racks of traditional post office boxes)... and Contacts must be two-way confirmed in order for encryption keys to be exchanged (ostensibly every key-pair is uniquely bound between sender and recipient) and the Relays would preserve the public keys in order to facilitate message carriage... or every device stores all sorts of keys and contact info. All of this to say, decentralized messaging is like running Bluesky nodes except instead of discovering/browsing public feeds by various posters (at the given node) these Delta Chats would be relaying encrypted messages (via Relays) that only trusted recipients would have the appropriate decryption key (their own private key) to read it. But this doesn't solve the "it's like email" sales pitch. The only way it's like email is that there's encrypted binary stuff being transported from your app into the federated ether of Delta Chat Relays for others to decrypt (hopefully only the intended recipient)... but outside of this federated relays framework, it is absolutely nothing like email.
