It happened to me in Tel Aviv this past summer. He refused after I was seated in the cab. I took a pic of the cabbie's license. He snatched my phone. I started yelling "thief/ganav" at the top of my lungs. Police arrived within seconds. The driver started to run, leaving me and his car, which was a newish Mercedes. Another police car arrived, called him an idiot (same in both languages) and he stopped and came back. The officers hailed me another cab while writing him a ticket. And they gave me my phone back.

I've done it a handful of times for only the exceptionally annoying twits who incorrectly deem me a mark.
