Ok heres the deal, I use to have a friend that played ball with me a few months back. I haven't seen him in months because he moved. I remember he told me he wasn't moving that far, he moved to a diff neighberhood and at most a diff county here in south florida.

I need to locate him because i found his high school ring that he lost a while back when he use to go to the park. He left it in my house one day when he stoped by for a pool party i was having!! My mom thought it was my dads (dont ask me why) and left it in her jewerly box until i ran into it just a few days ago! I dont want to keep this and I remember how down he felt when he lost his ring, since he doesn't have alot of money and saved up to buy the ring. I would like to locate him and give him his ring back.

I always called him by his nickname and i only know his first name. Anyways I have his phone number but he never picks up. I'ts a cell number btw. I know he lives somehwere near Miami and i was wondering if anyone knows how i can find him by having his cell phone alone. We didn't go to the same school, i knew him because we use to play basketball in the same park and i never really asked him anything personal, so if u suggest that i go ask around in his highschool its highly unlikely that i'll find him that way cause i can think of at least 3 high schools he might have attended and i only have his first name. And i don't know anyone else that knows him.

Any help on how i can track this guy by having only his cell phone number guys? Thanks!

Call or go to the high school & look in the annuals, use name from annuals & do a google search for him.

After you've stalked & killed this friend don't tell anyone I helped you...

I've called many times and he doesn't pick up. Mabey he disconnected it or something. Phone seems to ring forever, voicemail doesn't pick up. weird.

wouldn't his class ring have the name of his high school in it? From there you might be able to go to the library and check out the yearbooks from that high school and the year he graduated...then once you find out his name your search should become a lot easier.

Google his phone number. It'll give you the name and address associated with that phone number, and a mapquest link for it.

Beware, though. We currently moved, and took our phone # with us. Google still shows our old address.

*edit*
phoo, just noticed it was a cell phone #.

Maybe ask Cingular if he has a new cell-phone number that they could provide you with?

You're basically screwed since you only have his cell phone number and first name.

Maybe he recognizes your phone number on his caller ID and is ignoring your calls? To block your phone number and make it private dial *67 then his phone number.

If you had his last name and approximate age you could find him for $9.95 that's what I did to find a software developer who's domain I bought :p

umm ppl edit their ring to say whatever they want. The only thing that i can see here seems like a stingray which probably means he went to Miami High cause thats their mascot. Still no help. I'm not going to miami high to look through hundreds of pages of yearbooks. I might as well just pawn this baby. :-/

instead of call him, maybe leave him a text message. he could be ignoring your calls but he would read the message probably and get back to you if he wants his ring back.
