Is there a way to anonomously pi them into leaving it on the curb in front of their house?

Yes.. leave a bowl of popcorn/japs on their porch with a note that says.. "we know..."

LOL

What if the thief finds this thread and you are never able to catch him?

Where are they now, Nicname?

Sam's Club on North Rock. 

They sell GoPro cameras there!

Is this guy shopping or working?  Delivery guy?  Taxi driver?

I'm telling you, stolen credit cards

[Asteriskhead]

okay after looking at the map again 741,747,753. n. lightner dr. The way the street numbers go on this street don't make any sense.

my money is on 747

Why?

the gps is within 22 meters. 747 is the closest to the gps cord.

Whom ever the assailants are, you must lurer them in with Jalapeño topped popcorn (like mice to cheese) and pounce on them like Chris Hanson to pedophiles.

 

We are going to break that button if bear becomes a regular

i know. i wanted to be the first. are you picking bear up? let's go!

If they're logged into nic's google+ account or whatever, could somebody send messages to his google+ that they'd be forced to read?

DON'T TIP THEM OFF!

So now that we know nicname can basically track them anywhere, somebody explain how this is even happening?  I thought maybe they were just using the phone for pictures and when the phone caught a wifi signal it was uploading them to nicname's account he never logged out of, but that theory doesn't make sense now.

Its like Apple's find my iPhone or whatever.  It is an app made to help track stolen/lost phones for people.  Nicname apparently still has access to this despite shutting off service

Right, but they probably got the phone hooked up with new service, or they wouldn't be carrying it around.  How do you get new service on a phone and still have nicname logged in?

There's some sort of hack they do on the black market.  Lost my phone in a cab about a year or 2 ago.. they tried to extort me for money.. called the cops to their location.  Cops said they bolted.. 8 months later my appletv photostream started updating with half naked pictures of indians.

The Ed would have a great answer for this.

Print off those photos and post them all around that neighborhood. Say "missing since..." And then date it for Tuesday.

I think 1) nicname wants to be part of whatever sting gets done and 2) he doesn't want to do this tonight?  Correct?  If so, I can probably take my boots off and get back to what I was doing.

Do any of the "at home" photos reveal anything about the windows or anything structural?

The only thing i can see is that the blinds in their kitchen are all messed up. Regular rectangular window, but can't tell if visible from google street images.

Everything I was doing has been completely shot.  I need confirmation that this is postponed and no updates will be coming.

Yep.  And I'd forgotten all about it until I started getting notifications about japcorn, etc.

The service and the apps are different things.  This sort of thing isn't all that uncommon.

So if I give an old phone to someone, what do I have to do to make it have nothing to do with me?

If I lose my own phone, what can I do to make it have nothing to do with me?

Factory reset.

Change your passwords.

So LOL that nicname didn't change his passwords when he lost his phone, subjecting himself to possibly all kinds of problems, but it's now helping him find the bad guys?

Pretty much.  Looks like we let a few good oppys slip away earlier tho.  I'm confident we'll get our chance.

If you have an iphone, you can wipe it from online.  But if they take the sim card out, it doesn't work because it can't locate the phone. 

I can't remember the exact way I did it, but I called my provider and they gave me directions to some type of control panel where I could set a setting online to wipe anytime the sim card was put in any phone.  So anytime that sim card would be put in, it would shut down and wipe.. then if they restarted it, it would shut down and wipe.. etc.etc.

I didn't really have a lot of passwords on that phone.  I did have sprint do a factory reset/ wipe.  But still pretty  .
