its imei blocked, it will not be able to be used on any network in the uk and eventually Europe.

Its a stolen brick.

I found an iphone once, returned it to its owner and got a free crate of beer for my trouble.

why not just return it/hand it into the police instead of being a gyppo

Had this crazy idea that maybe i could use it as an iPod/iTouch, clearly if its blocked someone has reported it lost etc.

I honestly cannot see the point of handing it in to the police to sit in a lock-up. makes no sense.

They may not have had insurance, so even if it is blocked they could still be phone-less..

put it this way.

How would you feel if you lost an expensive (circa £400) phone.

Quite possibly it has been reported lost, however sadly society today no one gives a shit about that and just wants anything for free.

You could try looking in the phonebook for that place called.......Home and call them.
No excuse to keep a phone apart from being a gypo that can't afford to buy something yourself

People who say they'd hand it in would DEFINITELY hand it in.

I found a violin in a case a couple weeks ago in a car park in Dornoch

Picked it up, went to the police station but no one was in, so dropped it in a few days later

Someones daughter had left it by accident, and lived like 60 mile away.. Later that night i recieved a..........nice phonecall from the father, thanking me for handing it in

Didn't even ask for my PayPal or send nudes of his daughter

I lost my iphone on Friday and someone has found it and pinch it, all I can say is think of the other person, I am pissed that the little shit who has nicked mine will not hand it back in, hand it back in and do a good deed for yourself :y:
