I was at a bar tonight and some one pick pocketed me and stole my phone... I have insurance now but i want to find out who stole... Is there anything i can do.. i have gps enabled and everything.. What can i do suggestions please!! thanks
yes i have the esn number and pin..no i do not have a password ...i think its locked how do you unlock it if i would have.. i dont think i have ... i want to find the scumbag that stole it
are you on BES? if your on BES your admin and lock and wipe the device so its worthless.
and verizon can blscklist it.
i dont know if you can do it withoit installing anything on the phone but my plan when my brothers was stolen was to call verizon, and ask them to activate that child locator service for parents on the phone. i assume they just turn it on, it uses the phones agps and then tells you where it is on a website.
i like you, had nothing else on my mind but finding the person.
of course when you call verizon to ask for the child locator service dont tell them it was stolen, they will never turn it on then. its too much liability for them if you kill the person or they kill you in the process of retrieving it.
in the end the phone was found, it wasnt stolen, so all was ok.
mikeyt4e, not that this will help with the stolen phone, but in the future, take all the precautions mentioned by the other CB members and also, I would purchase software called Get It Back. This enables you as the user to lock your phone from any computer, and they will give you the GPS location of your phone, plus much more. Here is the link:
Check your bill & call any numbers that dialed after the phone was stolen. If you harrass the people long enough maybe they will give up the person who has it. With a phone like this they may hold on to it untell they can't use it anymore & then will sell it or trash it. If it was available to use any tracking application it would have had to have the application installed on the device before you lost it.
i believe vzw has the ability to locate the phone by searching what towers it is connected to... so as it is not an exact location, you can get a general idea. Definitly get the police involved.
You have insurance so just call verizon, tell them you lost your phone and get a new one. What are you going to do if you find the person? Kick their *** and getting arrested for assault?

They didn't lose it, it was stolen!
I wouldn't recommend lying to VZW. Two wrongs don't make a right. Try to maintain some form of integrity.
Best of luck getting it back, I would be very upset.

Ouch!! No password. Protect your contacts and information, always password protect your phone.
Does this mean we have to put in a password to answer the phone. I'm a BB newbie so I am not familiar with locking but it sounds like a great idea. I'd love to know how to do it and what it actually locks. Thanks!!!
If you don't mind jail time and a criminal history, go get that SOB who "kidnapped" your "baby"!!
But, if you do mind, I would recommend calling up Big Red and getting a new one through your insurance.
Best of luck.
