I went to Tesco this evening, and while i was paying for my shopping at the self serve bit I put my phone down. Long story short, I left it there

 

Came home, realised id left it there, went back to tesco and it haddnt been handed in, so phoned the phone and some ***** answered it and had the cheek to tell me "well its my phone now"

 

Anyway...went back to tesco and they are going to check the CCTV tomorrow. BUT in the meantime, after reporting it, I phoned Orange.

 

They were dead helpful and as well as blocking my phone and sim card , and it turns out they are going to send me a ÂĢ80 phone for nothing ..... and transfer my number plus give me ÂĢ10 credit.  I just think that's dead unusual in this day and age, usually they don't want to do anything for anyone, but orange were really good! I am impressed.

It was all very dramatic

 

Hahhh Brilliant! Bet that confused the hell out of the bus driver

 

Zazz, that's great Orange did that - I thought you meant Jason Orange though when I saw the thread title

Oh, I could rant about him too, sometimes when I go to bed and find the other half laying there with her "Mrs Orange" T shirt on, it makes me want to rant!!

Zazz I'm really gutted and pleased for you, what a horrible duchebag to actually say that too you! I hope he drops it down the loo and can't get any money or use out of it! I hope tesco can help you out regarding CCTV footage too, technically it's theft by deception.. And if all else fails, I believe in karma, you may not hear of it but rest assured he'll get his comeuppance

Well done to Orange for good customer service.

update:

 

My new phone arrived today, in the biggest box known to man(for a phone) around 55 cm long I was thinking maybe they had sent me a huge joke phone like the phone on trigger happy TV anyway, in the box, was a tiny box which had my new phone in...another box which had an orange piggy bank and a keyring type thing, and another box which had some Angle and curve headphones(rrp around ÂĢ60!!! ) the other half has been rolling her eyes at me pretending I am down with the kids with these headphones

 

what a result.....oh, and on top of that, the nice fella at orange topped up my phone by a tenner too!! and have transferred my old number over to my new sim!!

My old one is now blocked and black listed so the git who nicked it cant do a thing with it

 

What a twat that git is!  I am glad he can't use the phone.  Cheeky sod.  That is very rare for the phone company to do that Zazz... you're very lucky.

Proper twat, when I realised I had lost it, we phoned it, and the cheeky git answered, I told him then I was going to report it, so he had nothing to gain by keeping it....I was only bothered by my pictures and the odd number stored on it, worth nothing to him now...Grrrrr!! still, apart from the pictures, I am kind of back to where I started, but with a better phone, and some trendy headphones  I may call into the little Tesco tomorrow, just to see if he has been in since!!
