Chances of getting it back will be low but you do hear of some cases that phone was returned as it wasn't pin lock as they could access contacts. O2 block's the IMEI that should prevent the phone been used in all or most prociders in Ireland (Not sure if Tesco, AnPost etc also block IMEI's number) but if sold abroad it will work as lock is only for Ireland.

Thanks Nava, i'm holding out very little hope of its return, but i would feel a little better if i thought it wasn't any good to the person who has it.
