Good point. Didn't think about that. But you could still get it off of the phone.

EDIT: I just realized that there is no serial number on the back, just model number, FCC id number, IC id number

irregardless, you still would be able to get all of the information off of the phone

Irregardless is not a word.
 
ugh i thought i would be more obvious, look a the scratch patterns


first the guy used either a key or some sort of sharp tool to try and scrape the information off the iphone ( horizontal scratches) obviously thinking that is where the serial number is

he probably saw that this wasn't working / looks too obvious and took some sandpaper and sanded the information off vertically ( trying to avoid the apple logo but failed), you can still see the sanding dust on the phone

It sounds more like it was you and your from LA aswell! Just joking. Some interesting posts here!
 
I believe the OP is making a generalized racist comment, stating that the iPhone must be stolen because it's out of Compton.

How in the world did you come up with this line of thinking? I saw the pics, saw the back marking rubbed off, and figured like a few others the serial had been removed. I didnt know that the serial wasnt on the back, but I assumed it probably was.

IMO the people that most promote racism are the ones like you that are looking for signs that other people are in fact the racist.

True.
