I still hope sometimes that my iPod Touch would turn up with someone I know who took it by mistake.....
You're judging his story based on a "typo" with full knowledge that his english is broken and even mixed up the words "disclose" and "close" (though theoretically it's dismiss)?
In the east asian countries (well, china and singapore that I know of for sure so far), when people say 4GB, they don't say 4 gigs or 4 gigabytes. They say 4G.
What the hell? How are these guys so clever? I would have never thought about that unless I was a true thief!
I Aint gonna lie... When i was younger i stole some hockey gloves from a garage and pawned them for drug money at a play-it-again sports around the house i stole them from. the family went to go buy new gloves at the store i pawned those. they got my name and address and **** cause you have to give license when pawning, at any rate, they sent a detective, two actually. they came into my home and asked me about the crime, i told them i found them at the ice rink and pawned them. wat did they do????? Nada... not a damn thing... all that kid that stole your phone had to do was lie to cops, and you would have to take him to claims court... which takes half a year and a buck and an ear for fees... i know cause i had a girlfriend steal my ****ing diamond earrings and i called the cops cause she was still at my house, they told me i had to take her to court and they couldnt do anything cause it was he said she said bull ****... so yeah, you are lucky man!!! that's good ****! and for me?! it was a win-win! i got my drugs and i didnt get in trouble for a committing a few felony crimes!!!! w00t!!

To the OP, congrats on getting your iPhone back. I'm sure that you calling him and alot with him returning it.

Riiiight, because merely saying "I found it" can make receipts, AT&T bills (that display your name and phone number attached to "their" phone), etc. completely worthless. Diamond earrings and cell phones with contracts are two completely different things.
Also, I despise the way you type.
About 4 years ago I lost my phone in Ikea(didnt know that at the time). It was a old nokia so it didnt have a sim card.
What we did was just print off the call log and start running reverse lookups on the numbers.
-Also checked the voice mail and it had girls leaving messages with the kids name on it.
-Using the last names looked up from the call lists, we got a general idea of where the calls were originated from. Called the local HS around their area and asked to talk to the police lesion.
-Gave her the last names and I guess she rounded up the kids involved and gave them a scare.
Had like phone back in 2 days.

The guy who stole my iphone took off the Crystal Film on it. I don't know what else he have done to my iphone, it seems like he crashed the system and did not know to recover it.
He might've run it through his butt a few times as a present to you, so be sure to rub it down good with alcohol or something too.
