Mobile phone Samaritan

Post by jollyrog »

If you're the chap (or know who he is) who handed my partner's mobile phone to the staff at Sydenham station yesterday and went out of your way to send texts/make calls to let us know that you were doing so, please know that your kindness is very much appreciated.

Thank you.

Good Samaritans are around :) I hope yours sees your message.

On mobile phones, there's a way of registering and thus disabling them if stolen so that even if the sim card is replaced, the phone is unusable (so no point nicking it). I can't remember how off the top of my head.

That is probably a bit out of date as this is what Snopes has to say: http://www.snopes.com/crime/prevent/celltheft.asp I could carry on researching but perhaps someone with a phone worth nicking might already know more than I.
