A nightclub bouncer has been fired after he stole a customer's mobile phone and sold it on auction website eBay.
Doorman Christopher Kelly helped clubber Stephanie Galbraith look for her iPhone after it disappeared from her jacket in the cloakroom.

But it was Kelly who he'd taken it - and later put it up for sale on eBay.
He was caught after the phone was bought by a businessman who found a message with contact details for Stephanie's husband Scott.
Now Kelly, who claims on his LinkedIn profile to be "trustworthy, reliable and customer-focused", has been fired by bosses at the Word Up nightspot in Greenock, Inverclyde.
Mother-of-one Stephanie, 30, said: "He's stolen it then sold it. Unless you don't have any morals, you know it's wrong.
"He's supposed to be looking out for people who are vulnerable.
"He has taken advantage. He's a grown man and knows it was wrong."
Stephanie, from Greenock, had been enjoying a Christmas night out with friends and had left her phone in her jacket pocket in the club's cloakroom.
The phone - which contained precious pictures of her son - was mysteriously missing when she went back to claim her coat.
Staff at the club helped her look for it and Kelly even joined in the hunt.
Police only found it was Kelly who carried out the theft after matching his eBay username - 'swordfish_bite' - to that of his Playstation account.

Kelly has now admitted to "theft by finding" of the phone while working at the club on December 27 2014 - and has been ordered to pay Stephanie £350 in compensation.
Bosses at Word Up have fired Kelly.
On his LinkedIn profile, Kelly says he has worked as a door security supervisor at the White Bell Group - owners of Word Up - for more than 15 years.
He claims that he is a "trustworthy, reliable, outgoing individual", and that he works hard to provide a "friendly and welcoming customer focused service".
But Kelly's bosses conducted their own investigation into the theft and fired him.
A spokesman for Word Up said: "Following an internal investigation, the door steward in question is no longer employed by us.
"Furthermore, we will not allow this sort of activity to bring into disrepute the reputation of the nightclub nor damage the relationship we have with our customers."
The case didn't go to court - but was dealt with under a measure designed to fast-track the cumbersome Scottish legal system.
The Procurator Fiscal - Scotland's equivalent of an English crown prosecutor - wrote to Kelly offering him the chance to admit his guilt early and pay compensation to avoid a court case.
Kelly took up the offer - but the theft offence will still remain on his record for two years.
In a letter to Stephanie, the procurator fiscal said: "The police provided me with a report about the incident.

"There was enough evidence in law to allow me to take action, either by prosecuting the case in court, or by giving Christopher Kelly the opportunity to pay compensation to you at this early stage."
