JetBlue passenger clashes with fellow flyer over ‘stolen’ Apple charger: ‘Is it stealing if you give it back?’
Watt a bold move!
A brazen JetBlue passenger admitted to taking a fellow passenger’s Apple phone charger on their🎶 flight, only to get into a heated back-and-forth on their plane.
Footage of the tense incident, , showed the woman walkin🐻g down the plane aisle when the man recording her asked if s♐he was the one who took his charger.
“Yeah, I have it,” the woman boldly replies, nonchalantly shaking her head▨.
The🐲 bewildered man then scolded her for stealing the charger and repeatedly asked her why she thought she could take it.
“‘Nobody was on the flight,” she replies, before telling the man to “chill the f–k out.”
“Don’t take things without ask💝ing!” the man shouted while she continued to head toward her seat several rows behind him.
“I’m going to give i💙t back,” the woman tells the man.
Multiple flyers on the JetBlue plane defend💃ed the thief as they tried to de-escalate the heated confront꧃ation.
A passenger seated beside the upse𒆙t man asked him to sit down, saying she did not want to get “kic♛ked off the plane.”
Another passenger walking behind the charger thief then intervenes, telling the man he’s “being ridiculous” and thaꦅt she said she “was gonna give it back.”
“No, you’re being♌ ridiculous. She stole something without asking,” the upset trav🐬eler tells the interjecting passenger.
Finally, tไhe woman reaches her seat three rows back, pulls the charger out of her bag, and hands it to the man as he continues to call her out for stealing it.
“Is it stealing if you give it back?” the 🍌woman sarcastically asks the man as he grabs t🍸he charger.
“Yes, it’s stealing! You’re only giving it back because I caught you🍸൩! Everyone else saw you, that’s why!” the man sternly tells the woman before the video ends.
In a , the man explained that the incident happened 💞after their fligh🍃t was delayed three times.
During one of those de🃏lays🥃, the pilot allowed passengers to deplane and get some food. The man said he and his wife took advantage of the situation and deboarded.
While in the terminal, another passenger approached him and informed him that 🐬the woman h꧃ad snatched his charger, pulled into an outlet at his seat, “rolled it up and put it in her bag.”
“Keep that in mind, it was ꦡplugged in, and she unplugged i🐻t,” the man shares.
The man then said the flight attendants were made aware of🌳 the situa♋tion and allowed him to “call the authorities” to have the woman “removed from the flight and arrested for stealing.”
Knowing it would delay the flight yet agai꧒n, the man said “no” and “moved on” from the situation.
The alleged charger thief, identified as Vanessa Clover, said the incident has been “blown so out of proportion.”
“I am getting bombarded with harassment, flooded with death threats,” Clover about the incident, which happened “over a year ago.”
Clover alleged the charger was found on the “ground of an emptying flight” where passengers were told to remove “all possessions.”
She claims she held up the charger to the people around her, and no one claimed it as theirs. Clover then said she tried giving it to a stewardess who told her she “wouldn’t take it because they can not be liable for passenger possessions.”
ꦯClover said the man was recording when she got back on the flight.
She immediately told him she would give it back and n🅠eeded a moment because her cat was inside her brown carrier, and it had gotten sick outside the gate ✨before they reboarded.
“I wanted to find a safe place to set my cat down,” Clover said. ” And also get a little bit of distance from this like a very aggressive, erratic man.”
She admitted she could have acted more “gracefully” about the situation but was stressed and “exhausted” over all the delays and did not believe she had stolen anything.
“I totally acted imperfectly as most of us do “under duress,” she said.
Clover then claims that the flight attendant approaching the man about having the police remove and arrest her was a “bold-face lie.”
“That never happened. What the video neglects to show is him losing his mind well after I give him back the charger.”
