Sometimes, it’s just not worth helping out a stranger in need. That’s what happened last night in Fredericksburg, Va., when a woman shopping at a 7-Eleven store found an iPhone lying on the floor, NBC4 reports.

The woman, 53, found the phone and proceeded to contact the owners and arrange to give it back. The woman and the phone’s owners, a man and a woman, arranged to meet at a nearby restaurant to make the exchange. After getting his phone back, one of the iPhone’s owners offered the woman who found the device a small amount of cash.

Sounds pleasant enough, right? Just read what happened next:

The victim was walking away when the male grabbed her from behind and threw her to the ground. He took the money back and kicked her while she was still on the ground, officials say.

The male and female iPhone owners left the area in a gold Honda Accord.

What the hell? Do Virginians go out of their way to be this horrible? The woman does a solid for a stranger and in return gets beaten up. We’re not all sunshine and daisies here at DCist, but even we can appreciate a good deed when we see it. People like the woman who found the iPhone should be rewarded, not assaulted. Consider a case last year in which three people in Arlington heard a woman being assaulted down the street and rushed in to stop the attack. In return for their bravery and kindness, police bought them a pizza.

But instead of a random act of kindness being returned with a small reward or even a warm handshake, a person is beaten up for giving someone their phone back. Virginia, sometimes you’re the worst.
