Friend's phone got stolen... need a bit of help.

[Stoner]

Hi guys, just need a bit of info... Meron bang mga tyangge or store buying 2nd hand cellphones near SM San Lazaro? A friend's cellphone recently got stolen within the mall mismo, so I'm thinking first of checking out all of the aforementioned establishments in the vicinity... baka makita ko on sale. Also going to file a stolen cellphone case with the NTC, para ma-block na yung signal ng cellphone... Thanks.

I think you'll have to call NTC customer service for that.

modus operandi daw ngayon, after mo bumili sa store, may magt-timbre sa tao sa labas na may dala kang CP, tapos aabangan ka na. I suggest you put the unit in your tight jeans para mahirap makuha.

Most robbers bring it to Makati Cinema Square or Greenhills. I read a post here and I am not too sure if it was Batang Raon who posted that he was able to trace his stolen phone in Makati. My apologies if it wasn't him who posted.

bro, advice ko, buy new one na lang. sasama lang loob mo kung mabili mo sarili mong cellphone.... at kung mamalasin pa, e mapaaway ka pa sa mga lokong yun.

Uhm, no... won't be buying it back. We have the box and the IMEI number here. I'm going to scout around (maybe GH?) to see if I could locate the actual phone. If ever I do, I'll do what one of the tsikoteers here did...

...with the assistance of the police, demand the shop return the unit.

The phone has a lot of sentimental value to that friend of mine, so I'm very vehement on getting it back. Fireblade: What ultimately happened on the case of that tsikoteer?

They were able to get it back by reporting to the police that they have spotted the phone. They found the unit in Makati Cinema Square as apparently, the phone had a tracking system.
