  • I think there are a lot of people out there who could benefit through some good steps to hopefully identifying your phone thief or tracking your phone. It's always good to try and help others through your own experiences.

  • I do think a paper would also be interested .. it's got a lot of technology buzzwords to it (Samsung, Dropbox, MSE forum) + crime. I could imagine a Daily Mail (i know, i know, i hate them too) article on it.

    Sell the story to a paper - make a little pocket money!

    As smartphones are getting more and more expensive, the more people that know there are things you can do if their phone is lost or stolen, the better.

    I am in process of typing up a story on a draft email at the moment. Worth a shot I suppose, thanks for all the support guys really appreciate it.

    Does anyone know of any e-mails where I could get my story off once done?

    Here at MSE?
    I'm sure they wouldn't pay you for it, but a synopisis of the salient points might make it into one of their weekly emails or similar. Making this thread sticky could be nice, but would anyone wade through 130+ messages (and growing :o) to pick up the useful stuff?

    I have written out a story which ends with key points and steps to set your phone ready for this kind of problem. Should I post to someone at MSE to see if they can put it in an article and make a new sticky from it?

    PS - thanks Ringo.
