What's the point of stealing cell phones?

[DaHeezy]

I was playing at the park with my kid last night. Park only had 4 other people in the playground area. We end up playing a little soccer game. There was this Iranian family of a dad and two boys about 8 and 10, and a little black girl about 10-12 on the swings watching. We finish up and my kid and I decide to go home. Just when I got to the car I noticed my phone was missing. I know I had it on me at the park because I was checking messages. I was only parked about 40 yards from the park. Not even 5 minutes had passed and we ran back to the park. Everybody was gone. So was my phone. I think while I left I must have dropped it. There was a man who was parked beside me asked if I needed help. I asked him to call my phone. Rang twice and straight to voicemail, which means somebody had it and shut it off mid ring.
I got home and filed a police report. Whoever stole my phone is pretty effed. My phone has a GPS. I'll just have the police knock ontheir door. Really it's not worth stealing cell phones. You can't do anything with them with the SIM cards, can't resell them. They can be traced. I hope I find the fukker. I'm getting on the horn now with my provider

if you take the sim card out and deactivate the phone i'm pretty sure you can't gps it

cause i'm the resident ISH phone stealing expert

I'm pretty sure the point of stealing a phone is to get something you want, without spending money on it.


Side note, why are you hanging out with so many people under the age of 18?

Yeah, but you can't do anything with it. So there's no point. The most you can get out of it is parts if you have the same mobile

Did she hit on you before she stole your phone?

You guys.

Yeah you can, just change the sim cards, not hard to do when the sim cards are external and interchangeable. Ones with internal sim cards are tougher to bypass but still doable.

The 2 stories combinend definitely make sense now

But you have to verify the serial number as the owner of the phone, so it can't be done.

lol at thinking the police use some gps trace to track down whoever stole your phone

Dude currently there is nowhere on earth that the police would give a shit about cell theft.

maybe, if he was best friends with a cop, or was one himself.

i know if i was a cop and someone stole something i could track down... id be down for paying them a visit

You need to file a police report and give it to your provider for them to GPS it. It's the provider's policy.
How hard is it to call the police to knock on somebody's door once you get the location?

To make $.

The serial number is reported stolen. Can't sell it

I have found two phones while in college. I took the sim cards out and sold both on eBay. Made about $120 off each phone.

If you lose a phone you don't deserve to get it back. Take note I'm talking about FINDING phones not stealing them. I also found a 32gb classic ipod, sold it for over $200.

One of my friends found an iphone the other day, just laying in the grass. He returned it to the person. I would have sold it.
