blocked iphone 4 - any use?

[stony]

Sometimes it takes a post like this to restore my faith in humanity.

Found it in an office my arse. Pinched and held onto until the heat died down more like without realising that it would be blocked.

"untill the heat died down"

He found a phone, not robbed a fucking casino.

Do you all get nosebleeds up there on your high horses?

I have no reason whatsoever to doubt the OP's story, as plenty of people lose their phones being pissed or just stupid. Not stolen, but lost, no wrong doing on the OP's part.

Would it be a different story if you found a little bundle of cash on the road?
I think so and you know it!!


Edit: I know now bimbob was being ironic, the high horse comment is therefore relinquished from him and spread evenly to all the outraged solid gold citizens tutting loudly at the notion of someone not being a good christian.

Haven't you got some pegs to sell ?

FFS. You should give it to the police to trace it to the original owner only for one simple reason - ITS NOT YOUR PHONE regardless of whether the owner has replaced it or not, ITS NOT YOUR PHONE, its the owners. Once more, ITS NOT YOUR PHONE, SO GIVE IT TO THE POLICE.

If you dont do the above, you are a man with no morals.

Why the fuck would you want an iphone anyway? They're shit.

On topic. That phone belongs to somebody, and probably contains personal messages, pictures and email not only from work but loved ones. Remember watching a TV show with Kiether Sutherland in a while back and a guy loses his phone. While phone is lost his little girl dies and the only photos he has of her are on that phone. In the end due to peoples kind and genuine decisions he gets those photos back.

Don't be an arse and use the phone. You're a bloody Blue, act like one. I'd expect something like this off a Rag. Charge the phone, and recover the phonebook and be a hero.

Thats not exactly true though is it. His child has already died before the phone is lost but he wants to see his girl on her birthday and the only way he can do that is on his phone as he is away on business at the end up the episode he is not reunited with the phone but instead the images of his daughter are projected on a huge screen in the middle of the Japanese city he is in after the girl that finds his phone sends them in to the company that has the screen. So at the last minute not only does he get to see his girl but the rest of the people also get to see her thanks to the girl who found it and he never gets the phone back. So the moral is it's ok to keep it as long as you post any pictures of fit girls on here so you can make a few of the mens day

So your friend found a phone on a desk, in an office and instead of leaving it there, took it, thinking that the owner would come to him looking for it before first checking the place where they left it?

This despite the fact that your friend didn't know the person to whom the phone belonged. Which itself is surprising presuming they work in the same office.

Then, instead of turning the phone in immediately to either the company's lost and found or the office's reception, your friend decided to hold on to the phone for 2 months, still in hope that the owner of the device would one day reclaim it.

Alas, in January, your friend gave up all hope of it ever being returned to it's rightful owner and generously decided to pass on it to you.

Bullshit, hand it in you fucking thief.

He forgot to say just one more thing before he wrote all that

I don't really get this thread. You're asking if the phone can still be of any use, right? But surely if it could be of any use to you, it could also still be of use to the person who it actually belongs to. Therefore, you should be trying to return it to that person, not keeping it for yourself. And saying "He was probably insured and has a new one by now" doesn't cut it I'm afraid, as it's still not your phone.
