Now you can walk freely through Central Park as long a you have an old flip phone - as one man found out after he and a friend were mugged and the tech savvy robber handed back his cheap flip-phone.

"Once he saw my phone, he looked at it like, ‘What the f–k is this?’ and gave it back to me," recalled Kevin Cook, 25, of Brooklyn, according to the article from the NY Post.

"It’s like a 3-year-old generation Windows phone," said Cook. "I guess he didn't think he could get anything for it," Cooke added. "It’s kind of humorous."
