<p>A few months ago i had something very important stolen from me. I was completely torn and spent a lot of time crying and hurt by this. I recently received a text message from someone claiming they have it but they refuse to give me a name or any other information. I tried to call them but they just pick up and hang up. I am not sure if they are joking or if they are serious. I just want my stuff back. If anyone could help me in finding at least a name i would greatly appreciate it. I have the number.</p>
<p>If it is a cellphone # that may be hard to trace. If it is a landline, just go to [White</a> Pages Phone Directory with Free People Search](<a href=“http://www.whitepages.com%5DWhite”>http://www.whitepages.com) and select the “reverse lookup” uption at the top. YOu put int he phone # and it gives you the person’s name (and city, I believe).
Let us know if it works.</p>
<p>i just called att and it is indeed a cell number. they wouldnt give me the name on the account though</p>
<p>If it’s not a cell phone you can look it up on Anywho dot com. They have a reverse phone look-up - you put in the phone # and it tells you who it is.
There are also reverse phone books for cell phones, but the only ones I have found are not free.
Just Google reverse phone.</p>
<p>Did you report the theft to the police? Seems to me they would be the ones you’d want to contact, since you now have a phone number of someone who claims to have your stolen property.</p>
<p>no i actually didnt file a police report but i did file something within my school. if there is a text message on my phone with the person saying they stole it and have it can i still contact the police and file a report? will something actually get done?</p>
<p>^^ Give the police a call. It’s hard to say whether they’ll do anything about it or not but it’s guaranteed they won’t if you don’t contact them.</p>
<p>Given the way this person is now behaving, claiming to have your stuff but not giving other information, I would definitely call the police.</p>
<p>I don’t like the sound of that.</p>
<p>It could be someone just baiting you, but I’d call the police and see if they can’t get to the bottom of it.</p>
<p>Call the police. Do not try to deal with this person on your own.</p>
<p>^This is good advice. Call the police and report what you know.</p>
