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.

    • Those 5 bedrooms are all tiny though. Even the largest of the master bedrooms in these old jerry built houses are often no larger than 15 square metres. For context the minimum size for a two man prison cell is 8.5 square metres.  It's hardly palatial luxury being offered round here. And after you've paid £155,000 in tax to buy the house, and another £3000 a year to the council to empty your bins twice a month, this greedy government is coming after you now taxing you what amounts to another 12.5% of the value of your home every ten years. 
    • There is nothing in the budget to promote growth, which is what we desperately need. The wealthiest pay more already, with the higher rate tax. I’m sure they can afford £7.5k but we need to encourage successful people and business to invest and stay in the country. 
    • I went to a girls' public day  school in the fifties and sixties. The first school rule was "courtesy and consideration to others are expected at all times".  There was quite a high number of Jewish girls, both in the junior and senior school. I don't recall a single incident of anti-Semitism. Is this something confined to boys' schools, or was my school unusual?
    • The biggest problem in the UK is that we don't know if we want to be a European social democracy or the US when it comes to tax - and we are left with the worst parts of both. The US has a strong growth economy and incentives that has lead to high standards of living for the middle classes. Europe has high tax, but distributed fairly across different earners, and has lead to good public services and satisfaction for all. In the UK, we have an ultra-progressive tax with disproportionate burdens on high earners. But we have poor public services because that tax burden is not spread more fairly and is therefore limited. Meanwhile, high earners feel disincentivised to work and will suppress earnings to avoid tax traps.
