[quote=flu][quote=ocrenter]Are you serious? Someone is actually retarded enough to use a stolen phone to call all of his buddies and family? Should get a Darwin award for this.[/quote]
yes, I’m serious. But what’s going to be more retarded is IF the police still can’t get him… Which I think is a distinct possibility (although I hope I’m wrong). But after talking to the police, there are a lot of if’s and but’s that led me to worry.
This really should be an easy case, because we got pictures/videos, we got phone numbers 5-6 of whom he called, we even know the nicknames of the people he called because we dialed the numbers with *67 and got pretty much all his friend’s voicemails..But you just watch. This guy probably will slip away….
Moral of the story…We live in a pro+criminal state where it pays to be a criminal. Good honest people/entities rarely make it out of the court system winning…
Thank you “liberal” california… Oh yeah, and trying to get hold of customer service on the cell provider to get the last call histories was fun too. Since the the people at the overseas call centers were as useful as a trying to talk to pre-recorded message. One thing is sure. When I’m done, I’m dropping t-mobile for good. Just because the overseas call centers suck… Never have an issue with verizon…
Really folks, if you ever get stuff stolen from you. Even if you have a lot of proof, the only way the perp is going to get caught and arrested is if you take the matters into your own hands and try to find the guy yourself.
The police are probably too busy with higher profile issues probably and the way our rules/regulations are, you can’t easily access the data you need through traditional means… We’ve already escalated this issue, because of what was on the phones and laptops, so it’s not just a petty theft at this point….Still, my gut feeling is it’s going to take forever (if at all) before we see any progress. I hope I’m wrong.[/quote]
You might be right. Unfortunately, the police will prioritize. They may simply feel this case did not have the monetary worth to spend manpower on. You have enough proof to catch the guy, agree about the PI. Maybe find out from the police if you do all of the leg work, would they at least have the decency to go arrest the guy.
