In the land of illegal endeavours, a black market of trading and dealing with Smartphones is beginning. Not only that but you face up against this guy:

Some shops were fine with buying phones from thieves even when they knew it was stolen. Not to mention the fact that probably the phones wouldn't work properly at all and you get a random list of contacts like Fred from Tesco and Bob from Asda.
So the moral of this is: always get a phone from a reputable dealership. -

SPC, just a quick inquiry as to whether all of the people you know work for leading supermarkets? If so, is it Bob from Asda, Fred from Tesco, Alex from Sainsburys, Archie from Waitrose and Tarquin from M & S? -

Knew a bloke in the force that said this has become major business increase rise in thefts from gym lockers and swimming baths. I thought that things were more secure tapes before with remotely locking and wiping of phones but all it takes is someone with a laptop and boom new phone.
