Cab driver stole my phone. And I think I have his phone number. (1 Viewer)

[BRONG]

No idea how this will go but what the hell... I'm curious what he will say/do if people just started calling the *******. I called him and he answered in English. Then when I explained why I was calling the number, he no longer spoke English. Anyway, I have to think his phone buzzing all Friday night is not going to be good for a cabbie.

You can go to the link below to see the whole story but the bottom line is I know he took it. It was left on the front seat of his car (I'm an idiot who drinks too much). Nobody got in after me and I started calling it IMMEDIATELY. He wouldn't pick up or answer texts. He turned it off later the next day. 2 days after that he made a phone call with it. So I now have that number. After calling it, I talked to a guy who sounded just like the cab driver and I think he may have been testing the phone out by calling himself. I had the phone on password lock but I guess you can still make "emergency" calls from iPhones. That, or he figured out my password. Not good. I called Verizon and shut her down right after that. I also tried to get them to shut down the FFA, but it didn't work.

I didn't have insurance so it will cost me 650 to replace. I'm also worried he got into it and may have personal info.

I would love it if a few of you kind souls called the thief, in desperate hopes of a return. I will p-mail his number. Put your caller id on block, obviously. If this actually works, I'll dole out 100 bones to those that helped.

More details to the story are in this thread, if you care : LINK

If 7 people call @ 100 each it would be cheaper to buy a new phone. Sounds like fun though

How do you block your number

Haha, 100 total, gb. Easy to block your number. On an iPhone, I think you go to settings. Then phone. In there, you'll see "caller id", I think it says...and then there's an on/off button to the right. Something like that, it's basic.I'm curious to hear about the guy's reaction. When I called, he stayed on the phone the entire time...and just kept listening, as I told him I knew he spoke/understood English and he knew exactly what was up. I expected him to hang up pretty quickly, but no.

I'll trust a stranger on the internet and call/harass another stranger. What could go wrong?

Any shtick ideas or just say give BRONG back his phone?

Stranger, wha??? I give you a good decade of

Come on, is there anything better than a good crank call? (and t's crank, not prank, btw, HTH)

Does this mean he has access to "those" pics?

Yeah, Mike, I know, I'm the only person on the planet who bought an iPhone and declined insurance. It still blows my mind.

Spoke with the guy.

He played stupid with me.

I asked him in Korean and English.

He Asked "What do you want"

First of all I tried to smooth talk him with some korean politeness first by using the formal version of hello...then "My friend left a cell phone in your taxi last night" in english and Korean.

"No. I don't know. I don't have"

Told him my name was Jean Claude Van Damme and I'll meet him in the Bloodsport arena if he doesn't come clean about the phone.

"Please leave me alone"

That was it.

 

[John Bender]

Will keep ringing him all weekend.

Nice! That's exactly what he did with me in the cab and on the phone. He plays dumb. That's why I'm so sure it's him. I detailed this in the iPhone thread I linked, btw. @ Jean Claude shtick. I love it that he got aggravated, perfect. Tell him we are getting his license plate number from the hotel video camera. Tell him he can still return it anonymously or whatever, or this is going to end up a nightmare for him. BTW, did you hang up or did he? With me, he just kept listening, it was weird. He kept saying, "I don't know", too. And at the beginning, he claimed he was on a landline for some reason. No speaka English, my ###. And FYI, this happened two weeks ago. I kind of like not having a phone.

Same thing here BRONG. He didn't hang up. I finally did. Sounded like he wanted to hear what I had to say. Absolutely playing dumb.Used the phrase "I don't know" like 5 times.Going to keep working on it. I told him it was last night - didn't realize it was 2 weeks ago.

This was two weeks ago, Saturday. I called Verizon 3 days later to report it and turn the phone off. I also hadn't installed that "find my phone" app deal, either (had just purchased the thing). But thanks.

Hey Bob, me again. Sorry about that argument last month.

But I still think it's a little weird how you always put your phone on vibrate and then stick it up your ass all night.

No, no, my phone is turned off now. But I have a number he called from it (before I turned it off). After calling that number myself, I am pretty sure it's him. He sounded and acted just like the cabbie did. I think he was testing my phone by calling his own number first. I had the phone password locked, too, but I guess you can make an emergency call. That, or he broke into my phone which had personal info. That's why I'm not just blowing this off quite yet.I will pm you the number.

It's Friday. If you're not doing anything, feel free to call or text and see how our new friend is doing. I have a new phone finally, and I'm especially excited to have a permanent drunk dial number for the summer.

Many thanks for the effort and entertainment. And for Bender cussing him out in Korean.
