Hope I don't get killed for asking:

Call the original carrier and report the ESN as found, I'm sure you would want the same...

that's why i'm glad my phone auto-locks, so if lose it or someone finds/steals it they end up with a useless paper weight..

hell with all the GPS technology these days, i can locate it via GPS if it's still on. then i will edgarley pay someone a visit and give them a beating they will never forget. i am fearless when it comes to my property.

if this were my site, I would BAN you for even asking. Even if you did find it, it's not your phone and therefore it's still stolen.

^^arguable, still man, dont wanna brag but ive found a phone (n95) looked at "home" under contacts and returned it. It appeared to be a guy from my school. It doesnt feel nice when u get ur phone stolen and no one gives it back. If u still decide to keep it, just dont post in this thread as i think not too any ppl will help u.

what difference does it make if you "found it on the ground"? The phone still likely has a phone book in it where you could call numbers to find someone who knows the owner. I found a phone once and I simply called the last number dialed and had the phone back in the owners hand less than 20 minutes later. You could call the provider and they could contact the owner of the phone, they do have his/her address you know. Your question, quite frankly, s me and reminds me of the sad direction our world is heading where fewer and fewer people have any common courtesy or goodwill.

the sad part is the OP probably has 3 or 4 pm's directing him how to change the esn.

[mixxy]

hey guys, as much as i dont condone stealing, at the same time it isnt the best thing to blame the person and accuse him of stealing it.

The person will understand himself that it isnt right to keep someone elses phone and will\should do the right thing.

[ChrisEric1]

Do unto others as you would have done to you.
Come on, do the right thing.
What's there to lose?
