Lost Phone retrieved......
-
If lets say, you lost a mobile phone. A few weeks later...in a stroke of luck, u saw a secondhand hp dealer and recognised ur phone....maybe the scratches tat u r familiar with or something. On further inspection...u realise its your phone...maybe got ur old songs stored inside or wat la. Now, how do i get it back?...can i report it to police? or cannot since the person found it sold it to the shop already??....how??

steal your handphone back from the shop?

You'll need to form some kind of proof that this phone is yours and you've lost it. The best way is via the IMEI code found on your phone and the phone's box. Other than that, others phone can look almost the same as yours. You need to make a police report of course, else you cannot retrieve it for sure.
