Mobile phones
From Richiepedia
Richie has incredible bad luck with mobile phones. Usually this involves having his own phone stolen by Ross and offensive/suggestive/objectionable texts being sent to his nearest and dearest by said Deviant member. Sometimes when really drunk Richie will use his mobile phone for the purpose of annoying people and will text the word 'assclown' to various people usually waking them up at 2am as a result. On one Zest trip Richie's mobile phone was taken by the Deviant Soc president who used it to text gibberish to various people. Richie of course got the blame.
