This thread is going to get interesting I feel.

You need to get his face online and start a wanted campaign.

This thread is useless without naked polish girlfriend pictures.

172.x IP addresses are internal but 99.9% of home routers are all set for the 192.x range. I would say it was a free public wifi point somewhere, maybe you could figure out where. ( I don't know how though)

Which app you got on your laptop? My need one with all those eastern Europeans flooding and teefing.

It's an automatic turret that kills any dirty foreigner within range.

Should have used 'Where's My Droid' (if you had an Android phone).

Drive around and look for his network

(May take a long time, and may not be a serious suggestion)

The phone appears to be still switched off

Definitely wishing I rooted and installed the program properly so it was pretty much impossible to remove/I had the ability to turn the gps on!

Last time I accessed it the battery was pretty low so I'm hoping it's just a case of waiting for him to charge it. Hopefully he won't bother to wipe the phone. If he had a mind to do so I would think he'd have done it straight away.

I'll update if I get anything more!

The police have acknowledged the photo but I'm not sure how much priority/interest they would give in something like this...

Another recommendation for Plan B - it's designed for situations like this!

jsmoke · 30 Jan 2013 at 08:39

Did he steal the charger also?

It won't work if the thief has removed his Google account or the OP has changed his passwords, will it?

Not sure about that, but I'm pretty sure he didn't steal the OP's sofas.

Shayper · 30 Jan 2013 at 08:43

I'm guessing it's an Android phone jsmoke, which means that he could probably procure a charger from a nearby dog

But seriously, it's not that hard to get hold of a charger for a phone these days, even if he didn't steal the charger he could have dropped into any shop on the way home and picked one up.

yak.h'cir · 30 Jan 2013 at 08:47

I've still got the charger, lot of use it is now! But it's just it's the standard socket most/all? android phones seem to have these days.

Regards installing plan B now I think it might be too late as I've changed my gmail password. I could try and put it back but I seem to remember that you can't go back to an old password... But either way that would also give them access to my emails plus there would be an alert that the program had downloaded.... Something to consider though so thanks for the suggestion!
