I agree I'll be quite surprised if I get it back! But the tiny chance they maybe do get caught for breaking in is worth it for me. I'd hope that the photos of the suspects being collected so soon after the theft would work in my favor, maybe!
This man knows who stole my phone, can anyone help

You forget, most criminals are stupid.
^ I think we found the guy who stole your phone
lol, nearly as much probability it was me as the poor sod in the OP's original post tbh!!
(you really should remove that photo!)
Suspects
Persons of interest is the most you can call them at the moment imo! The ONLY thing that can be said definitively is that it is a picture of somebody taken with your stolen phone.
The person in the photo along with the person holding the phone could very well have nothing to do with the burglary and simply bought it without any knowledge of it's history!

We arrived home with a takeaway, entered through the back door into the kitchen and dumped bags (and phone!) onto the table and took the food through to the lounge to eat. After eating took the plates back into the kitchen to find the door open and then noticed a bag and my phone missing. Stupid mistake, we should have locked the door but our minds were focused on the food and just forgot. Won't do that again!
There's a remote locate, lock, wipe thing built in, and something that lets you push apps onto the device, not sure what use that would be however..

Tried looking for "sohail" in your GPS vicinity but couldn't find any using: https://wigle.net/gps/gps/main/query/
The photo was taken just 3 hours after the phone had been taken and about 5 minutes after it was first switched on after the theft. I think my description of him likely knowing the people who stole my phone is reasonable!

Blatant Cerberus plug thread.
I would actually love for a thread like this to deliver for once on these forums. Every time they either fail miserably or slowly die with a whimper. Good luck.

Not really, when I was younger I use to go around mates house loads and people I have never met or know would turn up! Whats to say this poor fella wasn't around someones house and simply in the wrong place at the wrong time.
That's why the phrase 'BEYOND reasonable doubt' is extremely important in the eyes of the law!!

Do you not have a data plan on the phone?

I had around £1,300 of camera equipment stolen from me when I was in the room right next door to it too. Thieves don't care what it takes to make a quick quid or two - despite the potentially devastating consequences for the victim. In my case insurance not covering the loss and being unable to replace said stolen equipment. Still, the guy who did me over is banged up now so there's some comfort in that. Doesn't replace my camera and lens though. Heartless Barclay's bankers.
The person in that picture knows the phone is stolen and doesn't care. If I've just stolen a phone, I'm not going to tell or show it to anyone who might report it. Ergo, this person is someone the thief trusts not to grass him up. If the thief is not worried about him knowing, he will have been bragging ("Look at this cool phone I just nicked")?
Also, I have a new punishment for convicted phone thieves. Now that most phones are smart phones, the punishment is to have all the flesh peeled off their fingers. Can't operate a touch screen with skeleton fingers, so no point nicking phones.

But they can buy touch screen gloves

Good point, best to chop their hands off then!
I admit he could well have nothing to do with the theft but I strongly suspect he knows something so if he could be traced it would be very helpful to me!
Surely 'beyond reasonable doubt' is when you're finding someone guilty and giving them a punishment. If you were just looking for the police to be able to search a property or person you'd just need to give them reasonable grounds to suspect said person may have come into contact with stolen property.
You don't know that so don't assume it!
Yes I do, and I explained why. Don't part quote me and then criticise the outcome.
Man of Honour
A more apt punishment would be to have a sim card superglued to their forehead for a year.
Compromise and glue a sim card to the tip of each skeletal finger? Or their eyeballs?
In case anyone is wondering, I ****ing HATE thieves with a fiery passion...
