Stolen

Model: Nokia N73 (Music version)

IMEI number: 356406010689064

SIM card inside: 9910279861 (Airtel)

Date of purchase: 22 June

Date of theft: 1 January

Dear Sir,

My mobile handset of the specifications above was lifted from my pocket while I was having a meal with my family at the following address somewhere around 5:00 pm - 5:30 pm: Chacha Jee, V3S Mall, 3rd floor, Laxmi Nagar, Delhi.

On realising within minutes that my phone was missing, I called the number above from another phone. The person who attended the call at the other end first called me at a place to hand it over. When I found no one at that spot, I called him again. This time he asked for a ransom. I was amazed to hear that he also wanted me to tell him the PIN and unlock codes!

After bearing with this nonsense for a while, I handed over the call to a policeman in the vicinity. The thief then disconnected the line. Thereafter, no further calls to 9910279861 could be made, as I was constantly told by a recorded voice that the number was "not reachable". This indicates that the thief must have, after being threatened by the police, switched the device off and removed the SIM card from inside.

I registered the complaint at the Preet Vihar Police Station thereafter, but could tell the cop who received my complaint the IMEI number only after returning home. The police have assured me of putting the number on its mobile phone tracker device. However, it also showed me a few months' old pending case wherein a thief could not be traced despite the police being able to trace all the calls being made from the device using a new SIM, as the thief had given a fake address at the time of purchase of the new SIM.

My mobile service provider Airtel has been informed of the theft. It has blocked the mobile number, but pleaded helplessness in being able to block the device.

Given this scenario, is there anyway that you can help me turn my stolen Nokia N73 handset inactive, so that the thief is forced to return the set or abandon it in frustration?

Regards,
