    Hi, thanks for all the replies. We left the place right away and got home within 20 mins, and had already cancelled the sim and locked the handset too. She reported it to the police too at about 10am this morning.

    She wasn't drunk, had maybe 2 drinks. And the phone was in her handbag which she had actually on her, not left on a table or in a cloakroom. I think maybe someone saw her send a message on it and saw it was a good phone.

    A zipped pocket!!! :eek:

    You'll be surprised as lots of pick pockets will use razor blades to get in to jackets or hand bags.

    Erm... possibly it is seen as a loan because it is a contract mobile and in my haste I didn't see the insurance forum. I have since been and had a look at what they have on there.

    just tell your friend to say she lost it to the insurance people
    tell them it was in her pocket last time she saw it and it must have fallen out
    that way they cant diddle her by saying she didnt take enough care
    if she says she left it unattended in her handbag of coat and they wont pay out

    So fraud then? Nice one.
