Using their phone and service without their permission is illegal. Stealing is to take what isn't yours. If the armored car spills money all out into the street, it is illegal to take that money.
No, you don't have a legal responsibility to return the phone, but you have a moral one.
The issue is enforcement.
If you need the imminent threat of enforcement to do the correct thing morally, than you're most likely like CharlieMurphy; a shithead.

Yes, but any smart person would suspend the service for the SIM card. If they don't turn it off its their fault. If they just leave it on and wait for someone to use the service thats like entrapment. Besides I don't have to return the phone. I just don't have to use their sim card.

I have lost my phone before and had it returned and I didn't give that person shit. Why should I go out of my way and return it to them (especially since a normal person would not have been able to figure out who owned the phone)?


Man I wish I knew some Law people who weren't biased towards karma and 'doing the right thing'.



You didn't reward someone for going out of there way to do you a favor? And you don't know why you should do things to help others if you perceive the general public < the action?

You really are an average asshole. You should check yourself out for Borderline Personality Disorder.

are you kidding me? because you are an asshole doesn't mean everyone is. twisted logic ftw -_-


You're forgetting the last line buddy, A normal person would not even know who owned the phone at all. So who are you or they to say I should return it to them if that said 'non asshole' person would not know where to even return it?

who the hell cares if you get a reward, return the god dam phone and don't be a dick;/

and what the hell is with that logic. Ok, you use what "talents" you have ( apparently ones that normal ppl dont have) and you find out who owns the phone. woohoo, now you have the information you need to return it. No one is saying u HAVE to do anything, but there isn't any way to hide the fact that your a huge douche if you don't try to return it;/

There's information on/in the phone that can be identified by the carrier. A call to cingular (or whoever) would be able to tell them who's phone it is.

wrong, they need more than just a phone number to access anything on the account.

It's pretty obvioust most people in this thread think you should return the phone. You however think otherwise.

If you feel so strong about using it then I guess you should just go ahead and use it. Just know that this is considered stealing since you're using a service they have paid for. You have not paid for it, yet you are using it. Taking something without having paid for it is generally known as stealing, regardless of how stupid the victim might have been to not yet have cancelled his subscription/plan.

Give you legal advice on the best way to use stolen items?

There is no moral dilemma here. You're a dick and seem proud of it.

look at the ten commandments: "no stealing thx"

look at federal law: "not knowing what the right thing to do is doesn't mean you can do what you want and get away with it"

look at this thread: "return the goddamn phone and get out."

does the message get through?

Whatever, you were probably trying to justify your actions by getting a bunch of us to say "fuck yeah, free phone!"

I just want to use it for the time being until I get my own phone.

You can't wait?

No, I actually started the thread to see if I could legally use their phone for a week or so without criminal consequences.

No you haven't committed any crimes yet, but you plan to. Isn't that why you made this thread? To see if you could get in trouble for the crime you were about to commit?
