I found a mobile phone today - same model as my own, a Sony CMD-J70.
It was just sitting on a wall as I walked past. It doesn't have a SIM card in it, so I don't know if it's been nicked or what.
I don't know whether to hand it in to the police or get unlocked and make use of it/flog it.
If I hand it in, I don't think it stands any chance of getting back to the owner - more likely it'll get scrapped or remain unclaimed and some copper will keep it for himself.
Or I can get it unlocked (it's on the dodgy Vodafone network) and either flog it or use it for spare parts... a spare battery would be nice, and save me buying one for £30-40.
Hmm...?

Microwaves - nature's answer to everything. I agree!
You could put it in a microwave.
I'd leave it on another wall, like some sort of chain-mobile-thievery-ring.
That's, uh, terrible Snuggly, yeah.

I mislaid my mobile once, and as it wasn't where I left it when I returned, it was technically nicked. I checked with the bus company and they didn't have it, so I checked with the police station and they didn't have it. It was a brand new phone, £130 with £30 insurance. Although I wasn't allowed to claim the insurance because I didn't report it as stolen within 24 hours (I was still looking for it) and it wasn't stolen from a locked box or glove compartment. What a crock, my fault for mislaying it admittedly, but still - bah.
Hand it in, you'll feel better for it. If you keep it, you're a crim and the Daily Mail will hound you until you leave the country.

this might be true. it would be good if it was. a good moral and common sensical issue here.

Keep it mate, the cops would just keep it for themselves anyway.
Give it to me.
Yup, that's right.
It's mines, *honest*.
You found it in the, uh, thingy area, yeah?
I can't remember the name of the street...
Anyway, just give.

Don't they do the system where you hand it in and if no one collects it within 30 days, it's yours?
