Why on earth would you do that?

If it's stolen, get it blacklisted. If you lose it off your own accord, let someone else enjoy it.

if a person finds a phone and doesn't make an effort to return it, they have stolen it, imho.

A few months ago I left my phone outside my house by accident 10 minutes later I realised tried to ring the phone it had been turned off.
First of all the person who picked up the phone did not bother to call in to my house and see did it belong to anyone inside secondly they did not even bother to dial the last dialed number in the phone.

It was an expensive phone sony erricson w995 only 4 months old and contained loads and loads of personal information along with my holiday photos none of wich could be replaced and totally useless to anyone else.

In my opinion the person who picked up this phone is an opportunist scum bag!

So you dismiss my point completely based on your one experience? Fair enough.

I have that phone by the way.. Think it was 80euro on a 20euro bill pay plan. Hardly expensive.

Eh, got the phone back, having blacklisted it early in the morning.

Is it ok that this person picked up the phone and didn't bother thier a"?e to try locate the owner regardless of monetary value oh and lets not forget the invasion of privacy factor

I didn't defend the person who picked up your phone. Your phone was stolen, not lost.

The provider has to take it off a national database of blacklisted numbers. I presume this is possible.

Did you read my post I left my phone outside my house someone picked it up turned it off and left.

Someone found a lost phone and kept it...... Stole it?

You don't know the difference between finding and stealing a phone?
Arse to this argument.. I'm away to the sun.

I had a bad experience losing a phone, many factors of it were upsetting.
I was merely suggesting a way that someone in the same postion may get some satisfaction.

I am not pontificating anything to anyone merely give a sugestion based on my own experince. And in my opinion if you happen to find someone the right thing to do is make at least some effort to locate the owner
