Was MK Tibi's phone stolen in a gas station?

Walla News reports on a crazy story with MK Ahmed Tibi accusing a delivery guy of stealing his phone at a gas station..

Chaim Dayan from Tiberias, the manager of a delivery company, was on his way back up north to Tiberias last week when he stopped off at the gas station near the Glilot Junction.

Dayan says he recognized Tibi and nodded to him, noticing the suspicious glances thrown in his direction. Dayan also says he noticed Tibi's assistants photographing his car, but didn't attribute anything important to it, as he had a "for sale" sign on the car.

Dayan says he soon after drove off on his way back to Tiberias, when a few minutes later he received a phone call from a private, blocked, number. He says he recognized Ahmed Tibi's voice on the other end of the line, and Tibi was accusing him of having stolen his phone and was demanding it be returned. Dayan says at first he thought it was a prank, and he laughed, but Tibi responded that it is no joke, he is serious, and Dayan had better return his phone immediately.

Dayan explains that Tibi insisted Dayan had stolen his phone while he was in the bathroom. Dayan denied it and agreed to wait for them to catch up to him - he had driven as far as Kfar Shmaryahu at that point, and he would allow them to search his car for the phone to be convinced that he had not taken it.

He says Tibi's driver got out, intimidated and threatened him to give it back and end things pleasantly. Dayan invited them to search his car, and no phone was found. He decided to leave, and as he was getting in the car, Tibi himself banged on the car window and told him to return the phone and end things pleasantly.

Dayan's lawyer says he is filing a complaint with the ethics committee of the Knesset against Tibi, and might file a libel suit against Tibi. He already filed a complaint with the police against Tibi for having harassed him.

Tibi as well filed a complaint with the police against Dayan. Tibi also claims the manager of the gas station witnessed the theft. ..

What a crazy story! Though, I think I am most impressed that MK Ahmed Tibi uses gas station bathrooms.
