Lost my phone, person who stole it now taking pics that upload to my google+

They're probably nice people.  They may have simply purchased it second hand.  They may not have been able to afford one otherwise.  They might have treated themselves for Christmas.  It could be their first smartphone and has brought them all sorts of newfound joy.  Do you really want to take that away from them?

No the new plan is to give them a better phone for free.

Yes, I was casting my vote for that idea.  It's a great one.

I mean, picture Trim in one of those head mounted video camera (newly purchased with gE funds of course), and a giant check that serves as a gift certificate, at this dude's door or at the mall or whatev like the prize patrol.

"Surprise, YOU WON A NEW PHONE"

i'm giggling like an idiot irl imo

So are we going to go get this GoPro and do this crap or what?

Bare, I'm almost at your house.  Bring the belt and then we'll go pick up metalhead.

I can see us being quoted in the Wichita Eagle by a reporter, "You said and I quote, 'Let's go crack some skulls' then proceeded to throw Jalapeños in Mr. Juan's face as you simultaneously, as you put put it 'Mushed' him."

What we have here, is a good old fashioned goEMAW.com ethical dilemma.  We are typically flawless at negotiating these things, over the course of time.  Let's just brainstorm this thing to death, and we'll have our answer.

I'm hearing some strong feelings on what I'll now call the "Good Samaritan" side, as well as some compelling arguments on the "Bad Guy" side.

Also, I should disclose that I DO harbor some bias against Amway people, so there's that.

He bashes their brains in with a non leathal wiffel ball bat is what he does..

Take the phone, have somebody who knows what they're doing go through it and get all of nicname's crap out of it and him logged out, and give it back to them?

Force both the criminals and Johnny Wichita to trade phones?

I just went back and read this thread from the start and all I can say is that I love every one of you. Especially you, Tobias.

[Trim]

Depending on what sort of skills we find they have, make them work "paying for" the phone as the gE interns?

Depending on the outcome, I may or may not steal nicname's phone in the future.

I still think we are on the up and up if we do something to the new phone to provide future entertainment before we give it to them FWIW.

I'd be okay with this too.  I actually have an old iPhone I'll be willing to donate and we can make an account and setup photostream (hoping they dont know how to change it?)

It's important that justice is served here, the world is watching how you guys handle this.

I have a dummy version of my Droid DNA, the ones they put on display just to show how they look.

He is an Amway selling, Jalapeños popcorn topping, phone thief.  Who steals a phones? I can be reasoned with but stealing a phone? He deserves to be humiliated in the most legal way possible. Very loose on the legal.

That's what is for.

On the nicest side of things, I'm thinking a gift card to boost mobile. On the cruelest side of things, I'm thinking smashing the phone and paint ball guns.

How about a note that says, You have our phone, we want it back   
With individual letters of various sizes and fonts cut out of a magazine and pasted onto posterboard

[Trim]

Make them use the phone to call in to the #oscar show and say whatever we order them to?
