How I Caught a Thief Using A Simple Tech And Trick by comradee1248: 5:41pm On Jan 21, 2016
It was 3days to my wedding in Dec 2015, my head was fully occupied fixing 1 thing or the other for the white wedding to be successful, I went to buy some stuffs in a store of some 1 I know casually, I was offered a seat, even spend like 15minutes with the guy jisting 1 thing or the other... On getting up to go I forgot to carry my Blackberry porsche 9983 (which was only 2 weeks old) which I kept on a table close to where I sat... I enter my car and zoom off,

Fast foward to the time I discovered my handset wasn't with me, I went back to the guys shop, the guy wasn't in the shop only his boy, the boy said his oga just left he'll travel to a near bye town,, I collected his number and ring him, he picked it when I ask him about the handset he said he didn't see anything like that himself also left immediately I left... I said no Problem I left...

I have to rush and go and do a welcome back and I bought another handset and it was activated immediately.


I know that I have already configured an antitheft security in the handset using NetQin Security soft ware in such a way that if u put a different sim other than the sim I configured it with, the antitheft soft ware will immediately send an sms to my wife's number using the number of the foreing sim inserted in to the handset....

I called my wife to be and told her the story so she should expect an sms from the sim that they may likely put inside the handset... Lo and behold the big fool put a sim inside the hanset the following day, then there was no truecaller app for you to know who the person is... I decided not to call the number in order not to make him suspect that I'll soon get him.


I decided to trick him to bring himself by himself... Then I had an account with a customised sms website that I used to send wedding invitation for my wedding...
I decided to send an sms to the number using the name "Speedpost" as the sender, and the content of the massage thus "the owner of this number 080_ _ _ _ should go to the speedpost office @ the town post office and collect a percel from mtn Note. Its Free no any single charge on it" Just a Thank you gift from mtn... U can reach the post master @ 080_ _ _ " I put my wife's number as the post master..

In less than 5 minutes he called my wife's number that he got the massage from them, so my wife told him that she needs his details, the big fool send her in a text his full name, home and address and even other numbers... Now that its evident that I caught the thief, I went straight to his wife and told her the whole story... I told her I promise her I won't tell any 1 if he can silently send me back my handset... But if he wants to be Stubborn I will involve the police of which I know she wouldn't like...

With no any argument my handset was back in less than 6 hours...

He meant Truecaller had no data for that number or he did not have the Truecaller app to identify the number.

Not exactly contradictory, it'd just his written English undecided

Nice one @OP.
