Found phone on Balbriggan beach.

sbkenn

My friend found a (expensive)phone on Balbriggan beach this morning. If the owner comes to the big boat, and can confirm the service provider and the unlock pin, they can have it back.

Or he's describing what boat he's at to make it easier to find him?

Thinly veiled I have a good thinly veiled post.

I will give you 3 fiddy for the phone.

I won't give out the pin online. But I lost a phone.
I can confirm that it is expensive and has sand on/in it.

Could you please drop it into me at the small boat when you get a chance.

Eh, so your friend found an expensive phone, and if the owner confirms the unlock code.......thus unlocking it... making it usable to anyone ...you will give it back to them

Seems legit

I don't expect the owner to send me the pin, just use it when they come here, to confirm that it is theirs. I did see the post from some time ago aboutsomeone helping themselves to cash in the wallet. What goes around, comes around. Have a look at the movie "Pay it forward". Ohh for that being the norm rather than an exceptional exception.

I said "the big boat" as I live on it, and it is twice the length of anything else around.

Better idea. Superglue it to the ground by the front door of the local shopping centre. In fact, have it unlocked first and turn the camera to record first. YouTube gold.

I found a phone on a beach and looked up the contact details to see who I could call. I called the contact called MAM told them the story and told them my address and asked them to ask the owner to send a SAE padded envelope and I would send it back on reciept.

That might not be so easy if it is locked with a pin. Sorry did not read the post properly.

With all the tracking options on phones these days they probably know exactly where it is. Although in this case I'd say they're pretty confused when the location is displayed.

It's very good of you to try to locate the owner here, but why not hand it into the Garda station in Balbriggan and let them take it from there?

Because it might go "missing"

why don't you open the back of it, see what service provider is on the sim, then go to the 'talk to' forum on boards and get someone from the relevant company to take the sim card number off you. they'll contact the owner (who probably has a replacement by now) and get the wheels in motion to get the phone back to the owner.

i did that a couple of years ago. the owner sent me some lottery tickets and i won 13 yoyo. thought i'd be on a streak of good karma, so did the euromillions with the winnings but got nothing.

it was probably some knackers from the inner city who were at a 'rave' earlier on, and who pissed off some old biddies who thought they were 'attacking' them with their 'music chants' so in an eye for an eye kind of way you should probably smash it to pieces off the ground while saying "karmas a bitch isnt it!! :mad:" and cackling out loud in a sideshow bob kind of way
