I found a 9500 communicator !!!!
this is right, it was 10 days ago. We own a parking lot over here, and many cars come and park and leave... so I always find stuff there, from keys, coins, cloth, Zippo's... there was one time I found a Nokia without the sim card... nobody asked for it, so I took it...
This time I found that communicator on the ground, the sim card is there (there is a line inside) and a 128MMC card... I kept it with me for 10 days now, but nobody called on it. THAT THING IS STILL NEW !!! I recharged the battery twice now just in case someone calls... and I am too naughty to log on to the phonebook and try to search for a contact number I cannot take it to the police because the one who handles these stuff, will eventually take it home... so it is better off with me. The issue now is the following: Let's assume that the owner suddenly REALIZES that his phone is missing, and reports it to the police. The latter will ask the GSM operators over here to track the calls coming for that phone with the serial number XXXXXXXXX. They will know from whose line the calls are made and CATCH ME and throw me in PRISON. If the owner doesn't report it, I will have then a $700 piece of nice machinery in my hands.. I also cannot sell it, because the seller will ask for my ID, photocopy it and keep it with him. So what to do??? I had an idea, about switching something inside it making it impossible to be traced... any opinions????

Log into the phone book and look to see if there is one labled "Home", then call and tell them you found it.....maybe they'll give you a reward....

If it's an unblocked phone (not purchased from any particular phone service provider), changing the sim is all that is necessary.

The thing is that if you take the cell phone box to the police, they will believe that you are the owner of that phone, it has the code written on the box... so an investigation will start... and you will not know where it might end up...
Either I need to start looking for the owner or change the board

The other thing to consider is how you would feel if you lost it. I know you can't cash a 'thanks,' but at least it's the right thing to do. If it was $700 in cash you found on the ground, well, that's difficult to prove ownership of. But this thing has in it a method for finding its owner - the phone book. But, hey, you've already kept it for ten days. So my guess is that you've decided what to do anyway.

Seriously.....at least look in the phone book and try to find the owner. I'm sure if you lost your expensive phone we would see a thread by you about how much whoever found it sucks because they never even attempted to find out who it belonged to. If there's no contact info in the phone book, then go ahead and keep it at your own risk.
