Wrong. There is a huge market for used cell phones outside the U.S. where any one can open a cell phone store/repairshop/cellphone unlocker and move "previously owned" merchandise. I see stores full of them here. Mind your phones.

Blasphemist!


How does one break it to someone that they will never be seeing their beloved phone again?

link this thread to them?

this ffs. they gain a cell phone. are you ****ing ******ed op? seriously?

land lines, with phones u plug into teh wall,
using cheep-ass 12.00 phones from Radio Shack,
ftw.


[it's how i do my internetz too. very reliable]

about a year ago when I was 20, my phone got jacked at a bus stop. Must have fallen out of my pocket, and as soon as I got home I started calling it to see if someone might pick it up... Unfortunately these 2 black kids got ahold of it and were messing around and answering in accents and crap.

I knew i was screwed...

Then I called my dad to tell him (he's an ex cop btw). He then goes on to look at the recent call list online, and calls all the people these dudes called in the short time they had the phone (3hrs or so). He gets one of the guys' name, home phone number, age, and like a bunch of other crap from one of the dude' friends by pretending to be the police.

So I call the non emergancy nuber for the police here in portland, and some lady cop shows up at my house like an hour later. I giver her the info, and she freaking knows this kid personally. She tells me there's nothing that I can do and I should just go buy a new phone.

And i must have been due some deep karma, cause this chick shows up at my house 3 hours later with my freaking phone. She must have been downtown and looked this kid up or something! Cops went up at least a point that day.

on a side note, i was blazed as hell when she showed up, and we had JUST smoked a bowl, so it prolly smelled hardcore like weed in the house. She didn't say ****

in before tl;dr

Assuming u meant Portland, Oregon.
One of the things i miss about the left coast is the police's more realistic attitude towards cannabis...
I was personally told, off the record, by numerous street-crime unit cops [who knew me on a 1st-name basis, obv., becuz I lived in a tent] that if marijuana was legalized, it would solve quite a few of their law-enforcement type burdens [for starters, a greater ability 2 concentrate on methheads and crackheads, a far greater danger 2 society, and more likely 2 rip off cell phones].

i gain entertainment from reading this thread u made about how i stole your cell phone





i stealllll your cellphone http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HHpM5...eature=related

do they have one of these in the USA?

also, i'd steal your phone just for making this thread.

and srsly there are some ****ing sick phones these days. iphone etc. they are worth dough.

On the converse side I once left my phone in the Chicago airport while I was on a stopover on my way home. A person found it and used the phone log to call my parents and tell them he found my phone and that I should call him. I did and he overnighted the phone to me COD.

Thieves suck but there are good people out there everywhere.

a litle penis never hurt anybody

then who cares? Plus I thought just about every phone in the past 8 years or so has been using sim cards. BTW even if it doesn't make sense to you why someone might steal a piece of **** phone, junkies and crackheads will look at that as gold. FFS they try to sell broken radios and all sorts of ****.

a cell phone

change the chip and i win

i take peoples cell phones and smash em right outside the door from where ever I take em. watch out

Aquire said device.

Toss SIM.

Connect to PC - Change IMEI (careful now, this is naughty)

Ta Da! - New phone.

Else, remove stickers, run under blacklight and then sell that mofo on a foriegn eBay..

Ya, Gl with that.

They send a cheque made out to you, to your house. Cash it and you're in trouble.

They will check all phones against police/insurer database to protect themselves, and will not pay out for a phone with no IMEI sticker..

they gain a cell phone
