This man knows who stole my phone, can anyone help

Well about 3 hours ago some lovely person let themselves into my friends house and stole amongst other things my mobile phone.

Also annoying was that I'd disabled the GPS on it due to google maps continually destroying my battery when I haven't even opened the program! This is a problem as ages ago I installed a program called cerberus on the phone. So I can't track it but I did manage to take this awesome photo!

Hansom chap I'm sure you'll agree! Anyway, I'm sure he'd be very keen to help me get my phone back if only I could let him know it was stolen. So on the off chance does anyone recognize him? We're in Sheffield and the phone was connected to a network called 'Sohail'. It's gone offline now though.

Obviously the police have all the info too. I'm hoping one of them might know him too!

He's back online and I have his new phone number plus the number of someone who has called him! Still no GPS though. Come on come on turn it on!!!!

oooo, 'audio recording started' I daren't take any more photos as I'm fairly certain it makes the shutter sound when I do...

I hope you get your phone back mate

He is polish.

yak.h'cir · 30 Jan 2013 at 01:57

Bah, it's all quiet.

yak.h'cir · 30 Jan 2013 at 02:00

He does look a bit european! I so hope he can be tracked down!

yak.h'cir · 30 Jan 2013 at 02:07

Looks like he has gone to bed, phone is in the dark and no noise near it. I have been able to make it record and send me videos and any texts/calls but no location yet. I've changed all my passwords and password restores so I think most of my info is safe.

I have the ability to wipe the phone memory and sd memory. Obviously I'd like to do this but it'll probably reduce my chances of him turning on the gps etc tomorrow...

Did you not have a pin/swipe pattern on it?!

Security software, but no actual security...you cant be that retarded surely?

I hope you get it back and they get whats coming to them.

Me neither, i hate the thing and bug me to high hell with it being in and out of my pocket so much, sg note so not cheap i just do not let it out of my sight.

Hope you get the phone back and the scum bag gets the appropriate reprimand.

How would having a pin code help me get the phone back? Surely that would just guarantee them completely formatting the phone themselves and guaranteeing I never get it back!

As it is my 'retarded' way has allowed me to get the thief's photograph, new phone number, a list of people he has called and texted and potential if he ever turns the gps on with the icon on the desktop I'll have his location...

But to be honest I just dont use a pin as I found it irritating having to enter it to use my phone.

I'm sure I've seen that guy has on an episode of the BBC Traffic Cops! :eek:

yak.h'cir · 30 Jan 2013 at 02:30

Cheers everyone! Hopefully he's known to the police and I might have a tiny chance of getting it back!

Doesn't the software allow you to turn the GPS on? :confused:

Diagro · 30 Jan 2013 at 02:37

That software is awsome! How can i log into it? i fancy watching what hes doing myself haha

yak.h'cir · 30 Jan 2013 at 02:38

I thought so, maybe the phone has to be routed. I don't see an option either way and when I ask it to track the phone it just says gps is off

do you have any info about him at all?

anything? could try ringing some of numbers he's called and fish for info.

yak.h'cir · 30 Jan 2013 at 02:46

I'm going to wait to see what the police come back with tomorrow before I start doing that. Hopefully he will send a text which gives him away! The sim he's using is a freeby international calling one. I can't imagine the police calling them up and forcing them to reveal the sim card owner...
