Make sure she buys you an iPhone 4 to replace that pos, likely damaged iPhone 3GS. I kid about the pos part. Or not once you own an iPhone 4 :p.
 
She doesn't live in Houston, but she does live in Texas. We were both at the Houston airport, but I was only there for a layover. I would post her Facebook, but she is underage and I'm not sure if posting her info could cause any problems for me.

So far it looks like you've done the right thing here, and that is to not post it. I would highly advise not doing so. Giving out personal information of a minor to a public forum website would definitely not help your case at all if that information were to be discovered.

I'm angry, but I just want my phone back. Ideally I'd have her learn from this and clean her white trash self up, but I can't be bothered to deal with courts. If I get my phone back, I'm happy. I don't want to destroy the rest of her life, but I do want her to regret this bad decision.

You really do seem like a good person, I hope you find it back. You've given her plenty of chances, now it's time for her to learn a good hard lesson on returning peoples' property when found.

Yup, and I still call bull ****.

(Really, how hard is it to work up a little facebook trickery. :rolleyes: )

I thought this too, at first. See the way the girl talks on Facebook, she seems like plenty of other self-absorbed adolescent teens- an older gentleman would not be able to fabricate this story to that extent. At least I don't think so.

Parents defend their little kiddies these days. They don't teach right from wrong. They are like a sleazy defense attorney. Your Honor, my darling daughter would never do anything wrong, it's just a childish prank, it's his problem for losing the phone....

This is the best story I've read on MR in a while!

Absolute ********, my parents and my friends' parents have all taught us very well. And if any of us (my friends or myself) were to be caught by our parents with something like this, they would have us hanging from our asses. Please, don't speak for the majority of teens. I am one, and I know that there are more kids out there such as myself that are looking to do right. This is just the few bad apples that make the rest of the bunch look terrible.


I hope you're not actually emailing her. Kids these days almost never check their actual email, try messaging her through Facebook, she will definitely read it there within 24 hours.

I agree with this, but I had to comment as well. As I've mentioned before, I'm a teen. I have my mail on whenever I'm at the computer though. Because I do look forward to college emails, emails from customers (running a car detailing service currently), and your everyday other emails.

very anti climactic thread. Like watching old people F@$%

Hahaha, this post reminded me of Pablo Francisco's "Old People Talk Dirty". Check it out; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1jdeqKte98g- Rather funny if you have the time to watch.

Agreed. That is just nasty, and it very well sums up the majority of youth these days. I'm sure the OP would have been happy to pay a reward, but not now...

Ok please stop with the "And that's how the majority of youth are these days" comments. We aren't. I promise you, sure we may be loud, and sometimes a bit obnoxious. But weren't you when you were our age? I know that anyone of my friends would have done what they could to contact the owner to return the phone. This girl is just an arrogant bitch that needs a lesson taught. I personally would never hang out with, much less date, a girl like this. She's trash, and you can't let her make you think that's the way the rest of the teenagers out there are.
 
Robby C, don't worry, all adults don't lump teenagers into that same 'that's what's wrong with kids today' category. I know I don't. I've got a buddy who tries to go down that road and I have to tell him to stop and think of the stupid **** we did when we were there. I tell him it's just kids trying to find their way. Most adults are on your side so let the naysayers just pass on by. ;)

I completley agree, Although the one thing that does my head in is the amount of people my age (24) and younger that insist on using text speak constantly and for no apparent reason.


and to the OP I hope that you get your phone back and the girl gets what is comeing.

I applaud you, young master.
 
By getting the address looks like you are making more progress than the police. The detective assigned to your case probably hasn't even opened the file.
 
What part of Texas does she live in?

North texas = Dallas/Fort Worth

Central Texas = Austin/San Antonio

West Texas = El Paso

East Texas = Lots of Trees and empty space

You said she did not live in Houston, so just what general area?
 
If you had read the thread the OP is going to/has gotten as much info as he can to the cops and is now crossing his fingers. Not much more he can do.


Good luck OP!

Actually, if the cops don't do anything he can contact the prosecutor's office and inform them of what has happened and what evidence/information he has to prove that it is his property.

There are a few more options here.
 
Musing here, if the phone wasn't worth contacting the PD until 10 days after you found out who stole it, was it worth making a forum thread for?
 
She dun goofed, you backtracked her. Order 100 pizzas to her house, consequences will never be the same.

I heard the Cyber Police are now investigating the case. Cause ya know, they backtrace.

In all seriousness OP, I hope you get your phone back. It amazes me how idiotic some people are these days.
