Phone was stolen, need help

My mom's phone was stolen. People who originally claimed to have it now claim they don't. We have their number but not sure what help that would do. My mom works for CPS so this is an useful and expensive tool.

It was a Samsung Exclaim if that helps.

Please help! We can't afford a new phone.

First thing I would do if my phone was stolen is get it turned off so they don't make me pay for them using my minutes. If it is a work phone, then I would tell her to tell her workplace the whole story about somebody admitting then taking back what they said. Also how do you know the person? If they seem like the type of person who would carry a stolen phone with them call it when you are near them and then tell them to give back your freaking phone or you will call the police.

We don't know the person. Apparently my dad called and left a number to call if the phone is found and he was texted by someone claiming to have it (now they deny having it). Will probably file a police report.

Wouldn't you take this to the officials like police and such to handle matters like this? o.O strange you would run and write a blog asking for help. Legal advice is the way to go...even though I don't seem to understand half of your story :S

First go call up whoever you get service from (AT&T or whatever). If you report it as stolen the phone will be blacklisted and they won't be able to use it on any wireless service without a lot of hacking.

Then they'd probably just dispose of it... aka break it

Thanks but we acquired another. I appreciate your generosity.

So you'd prefer they rack up a nice bill for you then?

Hmm Badluck dude

If you can try to install Prey
I have it on my laptop but it also works on phones and macs, its basically a stolen item tracker that gives you geo locations programs used, screenshot of desktop (if used on laptop) its pretty handy.

    I tried making chocolate lava cakes the other day in cupcake pan, what a mess, my lava exploded out of the cakes everywhere while baking, was still ok tho, just no lava inside.

    We had our grandkids over yesterday and I got a small above ground swimming pool I filled for them to play in. Well today I woke to find 3 ducks swimming around in it. Don't mind really but they are annoyingly loud, quack quack. Gotta drain it today. Guess what were having for dinner, lol.

    I used butter instead of vegetable oil, and think that's why they squirted out during baking, who knows
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    yeah i think oil is the right call

  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    plus if you're making brownies or lava cakes for people with dairy allergies, you should use oil instead of butter anyway

    I make rum cake for 4th July every year, I make it a week prior and then soak it in rum in the fridge all week. I flip the cake each day, and add little more rum, it soaks it up everyday, so good.

  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
