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.

    • We've been to The Plough a couple of times recently and thought that the food really has improved.  We had the special Christmas chicken burgers the other day that were great!
    • I have been having problems with inpost as well recently (also Vinted parcels) one eventually showed up at Ronnies supermarket after 2 weeks of me trying to chase it.  I currently have another delivery coming from Enfield area but looking at the parcel’s  journey  it went from Dartford to Swansea and back again and now they have been trying to deliver it to the lockers but they are full!  🤦🏻‍♀️  I would have happily paid for home delivery but that option was not available!     
    • Ok, latest news!  Went into Barry's yesterday, spoke to a staff member (possibly manager) who seemed knowledgeable, he said that they DO refuse parcels from InPost / Yodel because they haven't got the space for the ~300 parcels the van turns up with! So the tracking info IS correct when it shows refused. He said he would call me when the van arrived so I could quickly go there and try to get my parcels. He didn't, but I did get a notification at 4.34pm that ONE of my parcels had arrived (the oldest one). When I went to collect it, that staff member wasn't there, and the others just shrugged their shoulders when I asked why they hadn't called me, and why the other parcels hasn't been accepted. I then had a notification for another delivered parcel at 8.39pm. I've just been to collect it, but it's not there, and not on their system as being delivered. More shrugging of shoulders.  I've just called InPost (tbf, at least they have a phone service and staff that are semi helpful) who confirmed that the parcel had been refused again, put the notification down to a mis-update, and that delivery will be attempted again today. Interestingly, they also said that the shop could only refuse TWICE, after which they MUST take delivery, but this doesn't seem to mean much in practice.  What's not clear is whether, without me calling InPost, these refused parcels would be returned to the sender after X attempts. I've requested that mine are attempted until they are delivered, and apparently InPost have requested that mine are definitely accepted on the next attempt. We'll see later today. But the main thing for me is that I seem to have gained clarity, that stores ARE refusing deliveries due to space restrictions (especially with the increased number of parcels at this time of year), and it would appear that most of the lockers are also full, so probably also causing refusals. I'll be paying the small extra premium for home delivery from now on...
    • Anyone have one they’re getting rid of? Let me know please x
