Today, I lost my phone. On the bright side, someone found it. On the downside, they won't give it back. FML

Y'know...the police may be pricks at times, but this is generally the type of situation they could help with. Or you can stab them in the face. Either way works.

is anyone else thinking of the fml from the other day about the guy who found an iphone and kept it?

That was the first thought that entered my mind.

He tried to keep it but he said it rang as he was walking away from that girl. Since he posted on FML I'm assuming he didn't get away with it.

But he had to give it back when she returned-

I thought exactly that. Wouldn't be surprised if the person who lost their phone in that FML posted their own.

Tell the person that your pimp has a tracker on your phone and that if he doesn't get his money he'll come and find you.

Thats why you should get at&t, or a prepaid.

How would that make a difference? Can't lose a prepaid? Or is it "Shit, you with AT&T mate? Sorry, have your phone back!"

Ask them to pass all messages from the people that call/text you on to you

All phones have an IMEI number that identifies that phone to the individual that bought it. Call your provider and let them know, they can put a block on that particular phone. You probably won't get it back, but no-one can activate it until you remove the block.

If it's a smart phone it also has a built in GPS that will lead the authorities to it's exact location whenever the phone is on.

Some cops are lazy assholes tho, something similar happened to my brother-in-law. He lost his iPod touch, found it on a dude's house with the find my idevice app and told the cops where it was exactly and to recover it for him because they didn't want to give it back to him. The cops just said "its an iPod and it's not valuable".... It was a 4th gen 64 gigs. Go figure.

Yeah that sucks but it isn't like when they hand out speeding tickets. There is no revenue in it for them so they are less likely to help.

My phone isn't a smart phone and it has a GPS tracker. I think it has more to do with how new the phone is and who the service provider is.

The IMSI can also be tracked. Don't ask me how I know. |the kid|

Wouldn't that be more expensive than buying another phone

Principle? It's just stupid, more expensive and time consuming than just getting another phone. Block the lost phone and get a new one.

I once lost my phone nearby a prescient, I returned to report my lost phone but they didn't believe me after telling them the truth :I I wouldn't count on them :T it's rare to ever have a phone returned, even if it's locked-like my old phone, with technology nowadays.
