MoDaCo Summer Event 2005 C550 theft - SOLVED!

[Guest markdotpeters5]

Good work Paul fella.

That'll teach em :)

Buy your smartphones people!

[Guest nickcornaglia]

This is all how the music companys, music artists, and motion picture studios feel when you steal MP3 files or movies online.

Something for everyone to think about! :)

I think this individual should've been reported to the police. I'm sure he will try to steal again. Pikies always do.

[Guest amo]

Take it easy on Mono, the guy works really hard to pull these together! Rather than increase the security, I personally think meets should be for actual members rather than 5 post search members as someone else said - I know we all have to start somewhere but its probably the best way to get the most out of the meets!

Great work btw guys on catching the culprit. Lets hope he's feeling sorry about his actions...

[Guest Lyger]

Glad to know there is a way to track down thieves who swipe our phones, but I doubt this COCKY person will be bothered by this disgrace - You should have done us a favour and shown what this person actually looks like (If you could),he maybe living in the area! If he's got the nads to swipe a phone from under the phone gods noses ARE MY PANTS SAFE ON THE WASHING LINE??? - Not saying im a pant god................. :shock:

PS WELL DONE :) Modaco :1 Cocky:0

[Guest Kittydog16]

I haven't got much of a say in this really as I'm not such an active member, but I was shown the thread, and I think you probably should have at least contacted the police so they could watch him or something I dunno. Since Paul didn't contact the police this "cocky" fellow might feel he got away with it, and try to do similar acts in the future, but um thats just what I think ^^.

[Guest Zone-MR]

Here's a little post I made on my blog:

It contains a little more technical info on how we tracked him down, for those who are interested.

[Guest Confucious]

[Guest MitchellO]

[Guest bluesmudge]

my god this thread has got so long . . . havn't got time to read it all . . . .

well done on catching him - should have had him arrested - then he could have had many adventures in the prison shower especially when the guards given him a job as soap monitor!

[Guest sSword]

Paul I think we are gonna have to call you sherlock from now on..... :)

But who is watson?

[Guest Tayloruk]

Great to hear the phone was returned. I have been wanting that phone for ages but due to my finances at the moment will have to stick with my E200. I did request a refund for my deposit due to my finances which I didn't get given on the day but I didn't ask as after a great event would have felt really bad. Hopefully as I didn't geta refund I will be put in the draw to win it with the other people at the event, although think only the people who didn't win anything on the day should be put in the draw.

Thanks TaylorUK

[Guest peekie]

watson has to be awarner as hes the number 2 guy here :)

[Guest Pondrew]

That was gonna be my suggestion too... ;)

Thanks TaylorUK

That's not fair is it? I put in £30 hoping to get a prize; I had 5 tickets drawn and gave all prizes away bar a football. I could counter by saying that only those that won on the day should be allowed to enter (as the C550 was one of the prizes) but that would not be 'cricket'. :)

[Guest uzi_999]

wohoo we (i mean paul and the rest, big thanx) caught him :)

this long thread all just because one modacoer (a BIG disgrace) was stupid to try to fool MoDaCo??

a short message to the the git himself (and yeah - his name really suits him)

1. Never try to attempt to deface MoDaCo

2. Observe and follow rule no. 1 ;)

[Guest kvl]

Great work on catching that twat!

Cheers for a great event, it was good to meet fellow posters, I know I don't post much, however after meeting the guys at the event I plan to change that

Anyways again great event, great people, keep up the hard work!

[Guest Paul [MVP]]

The prize draw will be 1 entry for each person who came to the event, to keep it simple.

I think Will should be excluded actually :)

P

[Guest awarner [MVP]]

Unless Will wants to donate the Xbox to me then I will happily be excluded :)

[Guest Confucious]

Cocky was at the meet, will he be entered in the draw......? :)
