This FTW. Sprint is AWESOME, and the best priced company out there. I personally love them.

I guess you should be more careful and consider this a life lesson. be more careful next time buddy.

Sorry about your loss.

(Try to call Metro and tell them what happened, however I doubt they will do anything, as it is a flashed phone, and not one of their "top quality" phones...seriously, their selection SUCKS)

I love how this thread is 3 pages and despite several requests regarding the details of how the phone got "stolen", the op just ignores them. lol

My guess is the following..a person comes up and asks about the phone...urge tells to show the phone off...afterwards they ask "can I see it"..they hand over the phone and the guy runs/walks away with it...

This is my guess and the most likely scenario based on what I gathered >.>

Metro can Flash any device... even if it has a stolen or blacklist on the ESN from its original carrier.. Houdini will rip right through it.. its a shady system..Metro techs will openly admit the Metro can flash a stolen or bad ESN device..

youd think someone would put a stop to them being able to do that... by law, they may be activating stolen property, thus making them an accomplis to the crime in all actuality....

**and this is why you install anti-theft, gps trackers in your device... if youd of had Phone Creeper on your device, youd be able to read any texts the theif has recieved, sent, or deleted... got gps coordinates of their location via text.. you could even have the stolen device call you with the speaker phone on without them knowing so you can hear everything they are saying... Im sorry your phone was stolen, but You really dropped the ball by not having your $600 phone properly locked down**

MS phone... Smart Phone Tracker...
Worth the time and effort.

another scenario is maybe he was using the phone in public then someone comes to ask to use the phone for a quick phone call then runs away with it. its a shame that u can no longer tell the difference between someone who actually needs to make a phone call from the people who want to steal.

Or... Someone just walked up to him and took it right out of his hand.

rather irrelavent isnt it?? if he'd of had protection software on it, odds are he wouldve had his phone back with-in an hour... hard to run for gps coordinates, and all the possible locating techniques in some of these apps.. especially phone creeper...

Man, I dunno what universe some of you guys live in where a person could just run off with your phone without you giving chase and administering a beat-down, but I don't want to live there. Something like that would never happen to me or anyone I know.

Ok, sorry to not post earlier, job has me beaten. Anyways, well the way it happened was like this, I was sitting down eating peacefully my lunch at a local fast food. There was a guy with his kid to my right a couple of tables,a guy across from me a couple of tables and a lady waiting for their meal. When I seat down to eat I have the dumbass habit of taking out my keys, my phone and anything bothersome out of my pockets and placing them on the table(hey i like to be comfortable alright). I start eating my meal while reading the local paper, get half way through, get up to refill, sit back down, continue eating and read paper. Finish eating, about 10 mins pass since sat back down, put paper away and start looking for phone, gone. Now, the guy with the kid were still there, the lady waiting for her meal was gone, saw her leave tho before i got up to refill. Only person different, the guy accross from me. Panicked, asked the guy with the kid about it, said he didnt see nothing, asked the employees, didnt see nothing. Went outside to try and spot the guy but no luck, now remember about 10 mins had passed sinced i sat back down from getting up to refill. Bastard was long gone by then. Tried calling it with my work phone but no answer. I guuess I fall under the statistic of "played".

I dont know people, If your goin to rob from someone, rob a wealthy fat crooked cat, not an average barely middle class regular guy. Yes if I would of caught him, destination:bathroom, tied his ass up, face inside toilet, blowtorched his mouth open whilst a buffet of all you can eat mix of piss/mysh.it purd in nice n slow.
