I would have war dialed them until they gave it back. I bet the FCC would have had something to say about that.

It was disconnected for a long time after they stole it. They hopped carriers all the time as well making it difficult to keep track of who had it.

The thieves were not new to this.

That’s infuriating. I feel a lot of secondhand frustration. Do you think they stole it to sell or use?
