How long does a piece of equipment need to be lost (or found) before ownership is passed on?
Is it moral ambiguity or legislation?
How else is the person going to find the owner?
The owners address is on the phone somewhere.I guess he may already have her mums name as her mum probably gave it when he phoned her. e.g:
Him: "Sorry who am I speaking to?"
Mum: "It's Mary Smith" (or whatever)
So with her name, address, and mothers maiden name he can do quite a lot. For example he could get a female friend to phone random banks and try to get past their security questions (this happens a lot - I work in IT for various banks and have to do their anti fraud training as do all staff regardless of department). So he's then got bank details too. Or he could try different variations on her name on gmail, yahoo, etc, hoping the security question is related to the mothers maiden name.
There's a lot he can do with this kind of information. So she should phone her contacts and tell them not to give anything out.
