Phone stolen but if know who did it?

I hog my iPhone six stolen at park, using my connections I quickly got in contact with the thief. I got him to agree to meet me alone tomorrow and he's charging me a $200 to get it back. I agreed but obviously I don't want to pay up for my stolen phone. How should I approach this without calling the cops. I will use violence if needed

It would probably be best to call the cops, but I would try to sneak up on them from behind and knock em out somehow, then steal the phone back. Definitely not the most legal method, but it could work.

Well you have vetoed suggestion.

  • People that buy iphones don't know anything about technology did you know that? Like my friend just brought iphone and I asked him if it has 4g late he said what's that? Then I asked how fast is the processor like 1.2 dual people buy them because its more mainstream and because their friends have iPhones Samsung is way better based on specs and technology the iPhone 4s and 4 processors are very slow
  • My phone was stolen but I lied about where I was I recently had my phone stolen but told my parents I was somewhere else. I have an iphone so I did the remote erase thing and changed all my passwords. Do I tell them I was at the beach and it fell in the night of or do I go in the morning to the beach then say I lost it in the morning? NEED Help I NEED TO KNOW BY THE MORNING IN 5 HOURS!
  • My iPhone has to be restored but i don't know if my phone is backed up I tried updating my phone on my computer but then it said I needed to restore my phone. Will my apps/photos be deleted? I plug my phone to my computer and it says "backing up phone" but I don't know if that means it's backed-up. I'm really freaking out Please Help!
  • IPhone 6s plus or 7 plus. I know the prices and what they do. But what I wanted to know is Did the 7 fix the home button problem? That s my main worry. I use my phone to text, check facebook, candy crush, look up info, and take the odd picture… Will I notice the difference between the two phones to be willing to pay more for the 7? Hoping for opinions for 6s plus and 7 plus from past of present owners.
