This is a story of bad karma in its purest form. A Ugandan man thought is was smart one night to snoop around the isolated section of the Kagadi Hospital in Kagadi Town, Uganda. He thought the trip was worthy when he left with a cell phone. The cell phone which was only worth $23 cost this man his life. What he did not know about his stolen device is that it belonged to a patient being treated for the Ebola outbreak in Uganda. The thief revisited the hospital days later, seeking treatment for his newly acquired sickness, Ebola.  On his deathbed, the thief confessed to the authorities about sneaking into the hospital and stealing a phone for personal use. Fortunately the cell phone was tracked and no other cases of the Ebola outbreak are directly related to the stolen cell phone.
