BURN HIS ASS!

With what you were going to say...say that. That sounds nice. Tell him he has 'till tuesday by 5pm. No excuses.

Good job on the detective work.

call the PD. he knew it was stolen. you gave him a chance if it was legit, and now it's time to get this guy's phone back to him and hopefully nab the guy that stole it.

I like calling him to see if you can get your money back while also calling the cops. Did you write a check or give him cash. Also after calling the Cops I would see about contacting the original owner, you guy together might be able to put together who the guy really is.
