Phone Recaptured

February 24, 2008 by Roshan in Madras, phone, police, thieves ยท from Telephone behind a glass partition

It's not often you get to say good things about the police, but they managed to retrieve my mom's phone, stolen in November, and they caught a store owner selling these stolen phones. My mom managed to find the IMEI of her phone and after telling the police, those guys tracked it down to some guy who claimed he borrowed it from his friend, who claimed he bought it from a store. Well, that's where the chain ends. Like, major props to those cops. Remember to memorise your IMEI or store it somewhere. You can get it by dialing *#06# on the phone.

Police tracked them down? It can't be! NOOOOO!!

Why, were you one of the thieves?

U must be lucky to get back your mobile. Cuz most of the time police don take mobile theft serious.

ArunFebruary 25, 2008

Police here don't catch thieves. They harass innocent people. They are losing their identity.

Indeed. Seems very unlikely. You sure you are not making this up?

Ha ha, I don't know. They were really nice, and extremely helpful. And we didn't have to go ask if the phone was back, they told us when they found it. How's that, eh? I'm pretty impressed.

Hey Vidya, they were really nice, but I don't know. One would think that if we were so influential we'd have a nice big house and stuff. You know what, I'll trade the phone for the house.
