There is hardly anything more frustrating these days than losing your phone.

I mean, it’s a luxury problem, but still.

And if someone steals it, the anger becomes even greater.

This person’s phone was stolen, but she was able to see what numbers the thief was calling.

Watch how he took revenge on that guy without any help from the police.

A few days ago my phone was stolen.

However, since I live very far from my cell phone provider’s store, didn’t have a phone to call them from, and my home phone is my primary internet connection, it took a few days before I was able to contact them.

He did what he could to shut the guy up.

In the meantime, the thief had removed my SIM card from my phone and put it in his own phone, which he used to sell drugs and stolen goods.

I went to my network provider and had it turned off.

The IMEI of my phone as well as the IMEI where he inserted my SIM card have been blacklisted.

Then he found a way to go one step further.

Then I logged into my cell phone provider’s account and looked at all the outgoing calls they made.

I found 13 different numbers he dialed.

Now all of his friends are signed up for text message spam from the Republican Party, the Democratic Party, the Libertarian Party, and numerous individual campaigns.

Any other suggestions?

Do Scientologists send SMS spam?

I think religious things can be really annoying.

Because of course the police didn’t really care.

(NOTE: I offered to give the logs to my local police department, but they were not interested.)

EDIT: I have been in contact with some of these idiots as they returned some of his calls after I put my new SIM card in my spare phone. They really are scum.

He did everything he could, didn’t he?

Let’s find out if Reddit approves!
