Thank you all for the comments.

The phone was reported stolen to Apple, AT&T, and I placed the IMEI number on a blacklist, this will insure the phone can not be used with any sim card or carrier in the future.

I will be checking FB and craigslist for the Iphone, but at this point, the value is $200-$300 and it is probably wiped, there is no reason in going to look for it again.

Huh. I’ve definitely heard them on the scanner app following up on stolen phones and devices by locations being tracked 🤷‍♀️ maybe it depends upon the day or who answers the call. Note to self to figure out how all the disabling remotely works.

no, obviously not. if I were, I wouldn't have sarcastically quipped about vigilantism and stalking being good. learn to read. or are you a cop trying to entrap people in a post about cops not being able to recover stolen property from idiots?

We live on Bell Hill and made the switch to Verizon’s 5g home service and it’s been excellent so far. Faster and more stable connection than what we were getting from Charter, at half the price.

Bummer. That was my first thought, but began pipe dreaming (again, like during the municipal internet discussions).

May switch to 5g when it's available here then. I'm increasingly frustrated with Charter.

Last I heard when I talked to the technicians. they aren't doing fiber to the home. They are doing a huge 5G wireless hot spot service for worcester.

Go back to the house with an angry mob with torches and threaten, return the phone or we burn the house down and plunder and pillage anything that’s left.

Or do the old brick thru a window trick with a note on it. Return my phone I know where you live. Give it back or I’ll take it back. Make sure you take a Polaroid picture of them sleeping and include that on the brick.

Really tho call every pawn shop and let them know if iPhone model —— is trying to be pawned its stolen. And to reach you at, let’s say your moms number.

Call Wpd non emergency and file a police report, get the sterling address on record that it’s a piece of shit that lives there.

And you know just deactivate the phone, transfer everything thru the cloud and cut your losses. Next time leave your phone in the car or wear something with a zipper pocket to hold the phone in. Or have a friend hold it while you fly down those vert ramps and stuff.

Sorry for your loss. Idk why ppl are such trash in this city.

The people making decisions regarding internet providers in the city are more concerned with making sure that cable tv is affordable, so I'm not getting my hopes up, but any sort of competition would be a really good thing. I believe the city is currently in the process of negotiating a new 10-year contract with Charter, though.

So you’re saying we should take justice in our hands then

I got hit & run in a parking lot ($2300 worth of damage to my BMW) and the store said I needed police to watch the cameras to get the footage. I called WPD the next day and told them the exact date, time, and location of the incident and the officer basically said “na lol” and came to my house and wrote me a police report to give to my insurance

you realize a lawyer costs more than an iphone right?

too bad the cops don't care about doing their duty, either. it's almost like this town has no real community and no effective government.

It’s actually my friend’s house! They do an awesome job every year this year’s scene is great

too bad the cops don't give a shit about anything other than arresting fentanyl dealers

Good thing the cops are doing their duty and getting OP’s phone back!

Good thing there’s cops around so it doesn’t have to escalate to vigilantism

Your display last year was so awesome! I was hoping you'd be back in the comments this year. I'll definitely be by to stare! 😆

Terror On Tory Fort. Follow Tory Fort Ln all the way up the hill you can’t miss it.

Agreed 👍🏼

Thank you! I will definitely check it out!

vigilante stalkers are not the solution to any problem, this is stupid.

This would be a ridiculously difficult case to prove, unfortunately.

It’s so much fun to remove

Been working with Sophia Gibbs from Gibbs Realty in Holden, she's been fantastic!

Could you try and talk to a lawyer and make a court case out of it? Stealing is illegal, after all, and I think you have sufficient proof since you can track the phone.
