You woke my whole household claiming your iPhone was at my address according to your iPhone tracker, which as I told you was not inside my property and advised to look around outside ,hope you found it and as I advised last night call police befor you come knocking on my door telling me you can't beat technology and your phone was in my home.if I found a phone I would hand it in to a police station,hope you have reported lost phone ,so it's blocked and useless to anyone .
I was shopping en route to some elderly relatives and found someones phone in Morrisons car park. I decided to do the right thing and walk over to Peckham Police Station to hand it in. I stuck a note to the post nearby to say what I had done should the owner return looking for it. There was a long queue to be seen, I waited for over half an hour in the company of rowdy people I would rather not have been around. When I did get into the secure area, the desk officer tried for ages to unlock the phone to see if they could find a number to ring to find the owner, they couldn't unlock it, so I then had to fill in the "found" form. Got back to my car and defrosted food ..... I WOULD THINK TWICE IF IT HAPPENED AGAIN.
I've found phones on two occasions and have been able to find a number on there saying 'home', or 'sister' etc and been able to return the phones to grateful owners. But I can also understand why people pin protect their phones too. Surely if the IME number is registered the police can trace the owner.

Must be quite upsetting to have someone demanding their phone back when you don't have it. Gloves1980 seems insistent despite it being quite obvious that phone trackers are not that accurate.


Also, not that it matters for this thread, but Gloves1980 seems to sign off both Janet or James in different threads.

    • They'd been there for days but I hadn't tied them to this thread. Nice work, it was bugging me!
    • Off topic, but when I was a kid in Streatham, long ago, apart from the milkman (rarely if ever milkwoman),  who also delivered yoghurt - very exotic - in little glass jars, we also had regular deliveries of coal, bread and cheesecakes (not the kind we know now, they had coconut on top), fruit and veg,  and paraffin (both pink and blue). I'm not entirely sure we have lost "something amazing" by buying milk in shops. The glass bottles were left on the doorstep and the metallic tops were pecked through by birds getting at the cream/milk. Or else the bottles were nicked.  And then there was the rag and bone man.... bell and horse and cart, just like Steptoe. God I'm old. We didn't have supermarket deliveries. We didn't have supermarkets. I remember the first supermarket opening in Streatham. It  was quite amazing having to walk round and  put your own shopping in a basket. As you were ..... Sorry OP and admin.
    • Yep, I hear you. Been waiting for modern milkman to these parts and plan to try them out. I still remember Dennis, our Egg-man, from my childhood, who used to deliver dozens in his Citroen 2C and came to collect the boxes the following week. Happy Days. 
    • I always feel we lost something amazing when we moved away from home milk delivery with glass bottles using electric floats to driving to supermarkets and buying milk in plastic bottles. Hindsight says we should have valued the good old milky more
