Had my phone swiped 2/12 @ Pearl Street Brewery. Have been keeping my eye on Craigslist. An ad went up today at 4:25 pm. Iphone4 for sale. “3 weeks old, had to switch carriers, need a quick sale - $200”. This raises a red flag for me. Too cheap, no real pics, story sounds like BS. I texted the guy about it. Used a fake name and said I had cash. The posting was taken off Craigslist by 4:50 pm. Super fucking fishy. Here’s what I’ve got. Jeremy Lancaster 541-8144 Fuck. ---

Not sure if you saw this ad…[http://buffalo.craigslist.org/mob/2213109055.html](http://buffalo.craigslist.org/mob/2213109055.html). Doesn’t say which carrier though. Are you able to remote wipe all your data and lock the phone through itunes at all? Edit: If you had the mobileme app on your phone, you can use another persons iphone,ipad etc to login and locate the phone. ---

It’s just really shady that the posting was up for only a half hour. I can kinda hear his last name in his voicemail greeting, but can’t really make it out… ---

It was up for only a half hour because it probably got sold in that half hour. I found a good deal on a sled on craigslist, a couple hours into the listing being posted it was sold. So I wouldn’t doubt a cheap priced iphone selling in a half hour. ---

write down all possible last names based on his voicemail…record listening to his voicemail once so you’re not calling over and over… have you seen the commercials lately advertising websites with unlimited free backround checks that are available online now? you can also go to your carrier and have them reverse lookup the kids number, maybe even have them GPS your phone’s location ---
