dks1240 Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 I work for below minimum wage tutoring local kids (I feel adding the below minimum wage part empasizes the hell I go through at times working here). And tonight one of the kids decided to steal my phone. I work at the Salvation Army so there are about 3498438 kids that go there so there is no way to find out which one did it. I'm so annoyed. So angry. Mostly because I know I'm not goign to be able to afford a new phone in a long time. Partly because I had the crappiest phone in the world...no one should want to steal it anyway! :mad: Another reason why I am angry. For my 19th and 20th birthday, in a drunken state I have lost my phones both birthdays. For my 21st birthday (that was a couple of weeks ago) I said, "I'm not even bringing it with me, don't want to lose my phone this year!" What happened? The guy that took me to the bar last night decided to try and get in some girls pants and left me at the bar, stranded and without my phone. :doh: Oh was that a fun way to celebrate a birthday. In conclusion, I am cursed by cell phones. Anyway, that was my night. I highly dislike you child who stole my phone And thank you members of ES for hearing my rant.

Larry Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 I assume you've already thought of this, but you might want to notify your cell provider, before "the kid" runs up a $1,000 cell phone bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmchairRedskin Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 You try calling it? Maybe a parent confiscated it or maybe you can reason with the brat who took it. Offer them "finder's fee" or something. I have Nextel and I'd help you out if I could, but I just have the one phone. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chomerics Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 and i tried calling it as soon as i realized it was stolen. Whoever took it turned it off. Did you ask them about a replacement? A lot of providers will give you a free replacement if you sign up for a year commitment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chomerics Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 true that, however isn't there a way out if someone does steal your phone? who here sells phones I have a Nextel, I'll sell it for real cheap, I got it earlier tonight j/k dana, good luck though, that really sucks.

HOF44 Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 I might have an old nextel laying around, but I won't have a sim card for it. Would that help any if I can find the phone or are the sim cards expensive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dks1240 Posted November 3, 2005 Author Share Posted November 3, 2005 and as for the free phone with the contract deal. i already used that last year when my drink got drugged and all my stuff was stolen...now THAT was a fun birthday :doh: oh the lessons we learn in college.

Maxito Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 thanks for the offer but ihave nextel. haha, i feel like no one has nextel anywhere too. I am not too sure about this one, If you get a phone from a different provider, can you unlock the phone. I believe its around 20 to 30 dollars to get the phone unlocked. But I could be wrong though.

dks1240 Posted November 3, 2005 Author Share Posted November 3, 2005 dam were you ok? that sucks yea i was fine. i was with a guy friend who saved the day and took care of me. Started drinking around 3 oclock, only drank for about 20 minutes (during this point these guys put something in my drink), and then blacked out till the next morning. Not a fun way to celebrate your birthday. Moral of the story: hide your daughters until they are 35. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
