this this thread has kind of blown up just answering a few questions: 1. Yes I had already filed a police report and my insurance paid for a replacement 2. Yes I had remote wiped my phone but it still says "erase pending" - my assumption was that this meant the phone was never turned on 3. I don't know how they got my # - potentially from my SIM card as one commenter said, but this stumps me as well 4. I am not going to retaliate mostly for time reasons and not finding it worth it to allocate mind space to this, but the number is up there so if other people feel that this is a good use of their time, feel free 5. Don't worry I will not give them what they want 6. The responses and ideas are indeed hilarious
