Serial-Cichlid Posted November 23, 2003 Share Posted November 23, 2003 Sorry to hear mate.If its any consolation, my house got broken 2 months ago. They took over $6000 worth of goods.Thank goodness I've only started the cichlid hobby recently which would have been worst if they were cichlid enthusiasts.CheersPaul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolla Posted November 23, 2003 Share Posted November 23, 2003 So you mean a customer walked outthe back or reached behind the counter to get your stuff? Thats weird cause everytime ive been to lams there is always someone behind the counter This type of stuff really ticks me off though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tangalicious Posted November 23, 2003 Share Posted November 23, 2003 Ben,Who are you with? Optus, Voda, Telstra? or ?If you're with Optus (please I dont need a slagging war) well if you're with Optus I hope you've called the 1300 300 937 to get the service temporarily barred so the thief cant make any outgoing calls. Or whoever your service provider is and do it pronto. Make sure you ask them to block the IMEI number (International Mobile Equipment Identity) Its a 15 digit number on the back of the phone.Now with intercarrier blocking the phone would be deemed useless on any Australian network. (Unfortunately it doesnt stop the real pro's though)Its unfortunate that you've had your handset stolen, hopefully your work place has some kind of insurance that could possibly cover it? Or you have insurance with your service provider!Good luck though, you'd be one very LUCKY man if you ever see it again.Unfortunately thats the truth Seay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishfan Posted November 23, 2003 Share Posted November 23, 2003 Its a shame people have to steal! its more of a shame when people buy stolen goods too. Hope you get your paperwork back at least Ben. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chester Posted November 23, 2003 Share Posted November 23, 2003 Hopefully you know what your IMEI was. Have you tried calling your own number? Maybe the idiot will be dumb enough to pick it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oracle Posted November 24, 2003 Share Posted November 24, 2003 Not sure how this is related to General Cichlid Discussion. Shouldn't you be speaking to some cops in Parramatta instead? : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willy Wombat Posted November 24, 2003 Share Posted November 24, 2003 What is more of a pain in the rear is that you will loose all your numbers. That happened to me when i dropped my phone into the ocean on a fishing trip. After learning that lesson the hard way, I now back up my numbers every few months into a "little black book". :o - hello ladies! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The cichlid Man Posted November 24, 2003 Author Share Posted November 24, 2003 Thanks for all of your replies. I did speak to the Parramatta Police and they took a statement. I am with telstra and i have already organised to have the phone tracked with the IMEI number. My bag is a sports bag that i had all my clothes in from the night before and i was out in the back room not behind the counter. Strangly enough i had a wallaby jersey, oakley glasses, and a Jag watch but they didn't take any of that. The thing that sucks is that i have to terminate my contract in order to get a new phone which will cost me about $300.00I will get them one day. Karma is a bitchRegards,Ben :^: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolla Posted November 24, 2003 Share Posted November 24, 2003 I take it there are no camera's in the shop?Maybe itstime the invested in some? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tangalicious Posted November 24, 2003 Share Posted November 24, 2003 Ben,Doubt they'd track the IMEI number for you, be easier for them to just simply block it. If you're after another phone I could possibly help you get it at cost price.Dont hesistate to email me with a specifc model. I may be able to help you.

Peter_Gun_Riff Posted November 24, 2003 Share Posted November 24, 2003 well at school ive had 2 phones and all up about $200 stolen(its a bad school belive me) these are stolen during lunch while im playing sport etc and ive also had 4 uhf radios $295 each 5 watts (instead of those cheap 0.5 watt ones) and the radios were about 3 years ago and i repeorted them stolen the next day and still nothing sorry to be a downer but i dont think you will ever get it back.

The cichlid Man Posted November 24, 2003 Author Share Posted November 24, 2003 I don't expect to get it back. Telstra will send a nation wide alert to all carriers with the phones IMEI number. If someone puts there sim card in the phone it will be detected by the carrier as stollen property then the phone is dis armed and can no longer be used. If the phone is recovered i am the only one who can re activate the phone. I know that there a pros that could play with the chipsets but it isn't worth taking new phones anymore.Regards,Ben :^: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
