It's a jolly good job that you managed to get the phone, so that you were able to properly deal with the previous users' data. Good to see that phone get another lease of life! Also, didn't know about the offline tracking - this is why, when you receive a used device, you should always factory reset the device, once you've ensured it is working and that any remaining accounts have been signed out of.

I once had a thief steal my car, the tool used to break in was left on the street. Reported it to police, they came and had a look, wouldn't even take the tool as evidence, even after I insisted. I never heard back from the police nor ever saw my car again. Lost about 7 grand that day. Just saw my brother go through a divorce, he followed the law, did everything that was asked of him legally, but his lying wife and dirty lawyer broke a lot of rules and have come out on top much richer people, while my brother got screwed. As I am getting older, I am coming to the belief that being a honest and good citizen can backfire on you when the legal system is lousy and corrupt.

This still links me to the phone. Say the seller knew the owner/is the owner, they know where it was posted to. If they get questioned about material recovered from their old phone they will know where it came from. As I said in the video, I wanted nothing to do with it. They are most likely to get off without any real consequences anyway. They didn't seem like masterminds, so may of been caught by now. I know what your suggesting is the heroic thing to have done but I would also be putting my family and I at risk in doing so.

As a matter of courtesy (IF I was doing this for my mum), I would have also checked the battery health or just plain swap the battery to ensure Mum had an optimal setup/trouble free experience... After all, the phone's been opened, and it is a 6A and Lord knows what charging cycles it's had especially after a possible 2 years sitting around doing nothing... 😏

Well at least the phone is unsupported now but since it was used by criminals I would’ve contacted EBay and retuned the phone instead of fully going on with repairing it. But anyways, the video itself was interesting and I love watching your repair content as it inspires me to do it. I can’t right now due to expenses but when I get a job, I might consider it.
