Today, I lost my phone. I called the number from my friend's phone, hoping I could find it. A guy answered, laughed "Thanks for the phone!" and hung up. FML

Today, I had misplaced my cell phone. I decided the best course of action would be to dial the number from my house phone and wait for it to ring to locate it. Somebody answered when I called. It wasn't the wrong number and I had a brief conversation with the man that stole my phone. FML

Today, I was at my friend's house celebrating his 16th birthday. I couldn't find my phone so I asked my friend's girlfriend if I could borrow her phone to see if I could hear mine ringing. I dialed my number, only to find she had my number saved in her phone as "ASS FACE #3". FML

Today, my girlfriend told me she lost her phone and not to call or text her. After about three hours, I text her phone, asking if she found it yet. I got a reply, saying "Nope." FML

Today, I handed my friend his phone, telling him he'd forgotten it. He responded by taking his phone out of his pocket and showing it to me. I then realized I was holding MY phone. FML

Today, I accidentally left my cell phone at the restaurant. When I realized my mistake, I went back to see if anyone had found it. They said no, so I gave them my number to call if it turned up. I realized later that I'd given them my cell phone number. FML

Today, I saw a friend in the street but he didn't see me, so as a joke I decided to ring him. He took his mobile out of his pocket, sighed and didn't pick up. FML

Today, I got a call about my dog who went missing a week ago. The guy who called said "We have your dog, but you aren't getting her back." Then he hung up. FML

Today, after working out at the gym, I went to grab my bag, and realized that my phone was missing. Panicking, I reached into my pocket, pulled out my phone, and dialed my mom's number to tell her I'd lost it. It took me until the last ring to realize what I was doing. FML

Track your number, since this guy is obviously too dumb to turn the thing off.

Just shut off the phone. Then, he can't use it.

If movies have taught me anything, you can triangulate his coordinates using the cell towers, send in an elite team, get into a high-speed chase, and end with a full-blown shoot out. Or you can buy a new phone.

Too bad us poor folk can't afford to just go buy a new phone.

You've got to admire that attitude of gratitude. For that you ought to let him keep using your phone. People with nice manners deserve a break!

He's obviously stupid for not turning it off, lol. You can just track his silly ass if it's an iPhone.

If you shut it down through your phone company they can make it completely useless. At least with most smart phones they can

So I mean how did he know it was you calling? It could have been your sister a friend or anyone really...how did he know it was you calling to find your phone?
