Stolen N9 (london)
 

Hello all,

I just wanted to let you all know that unforunately i had my phone (N9)stolen on sunday at nottinghill carnival (london).
I tried the track and protect service, but it keeps telling me that i have no credit even though there is and the company incharge hasnt responded. I basically written it off at this point

Based on the advise of the police and the network in question, the phone has been blocked. I have also been informed that if someone tries to unblock it, the police will get involved.

I guess i am writing this as a word of warning if you happen to walk into a phone shop around london and see one, be careful or not.

I can provide IMEI number here or in pm if requested

regards,

if its blocked itll be pretty useless in the UK and i doubt any shop would accept it. it would be most likely sold overseas

Re: Stolen N9 (london)
 

Thats what i was thinking, but you would be supprised there a quite a few less reputable shops that would except phones known to be or not known to be sholen, but since i consider this one of thoughs phones that the average user would snub (my friends did with their iphones and galaxys) and that either someone who knows what it is would buy it and maybe buy the tinest of luck, find this thread or post here with a problems about it being blocked.

regards

Please dont, dont hand over any opportunity for the thieves or buyers.

Hope the best for you

Now, how do you think this would give any opportunity to the thief?
He already knows the IMEI, as it is written on the device itself, next to the SIM slot :D:D

Rather, it would be good to know, as for potential buyer to check against if some one is trying to sell you a too-cheap-seeming device...

Re: Stolen N9 (london)
 

@juice yes, valid point. But it is not wise to publish your imei, for piracy issues etc - hopefully he gets the device back.
If imei is cloned, then he might end up with a banned device

Re: Stolen N9 (london)
 

That was my kind of logic

Re: Stolen N9 (london)
 

my privacy when out of my pocket when it got stolen.
With a bit of effort you could circumvent any security on the device.
the IMEI number is in the police database so if you feel compelled to clone it, someone is going to be knocking on your door pretty sharpish

Re: Stolen N9 (london)
 

well, Iam not gonna clone it, but given the reactions to my point of view for security, I will just shut up :P
Good luck

Re: Stolen N9 (london)
 

Might be an idea to say what colour it was and maybe any marks or dents you can think of.

Re: Stolen N9 (london)
 

probably the best way to go about it is i post the last 4 digits, if it matches, then its up to you to choose to reach out and confirm the rest

Black, 64gb, the usb door is not original and has bent inwards with the outer layer flaking.
has its cover which has left a "V" shape on the back of the case. screen is lightly scuffed with a tiny deeper scratch on the top right and a 2-3 longer shallow scratches. The sim tray is does not sit flush anymore

Good info, should be easy to spot if it's on ebay, I'll keep an eye out for it
