A 5 year old phone found in a McDonald's bathroom. The guy probably threw it away.

Turn it in. In my state you can be charged for theft if you are in possession of of lost/stolen/mislaid property and you made no attempt to return the rightful owner. Most states have the same laws and it is easy to use them for stuff like cellphones.

I had my iPhone stolen.

I want it back.

 

[Maaaaaardy]

Turn it into a belt buckle

Legit spat my drink.

I found an unlocked iPhone 6 in a rest stop bathroom once and spent the better part of a day tracking down the owner. Even refused a reward. Y'all saying keep it need Jesus.

That's pretty good of you. I hope the karma payed off for you.

 

[UrokeJoe]

Just, dont fix it, you may be mistaken as a thief

I have a 32gb 4S with a cracked screen tucked away somewhere that I didn't want to get rid of. Loved that phone and still think it was the pinnacle.

 

[super6646]

I doubt you'll get much even if you sell it. The 4s is really the bare minimum you need. I'd just keep it or turn it in, it doesn't have much use anymore.

 

[The Real Abed]

The 4 is useless now anyway. It might not even be stolen rather abandoned. The owner if there was one probably got a new 6S by now and wouldn't care either way. They can't run the latest OS and are slow as shit.

If there's no message on the screen saying its lost then you could call Apple and give them the serial number. Maybe they'd know something. But it's probably more trouble than it's worth since as I said the owner has probably moved on.

 

[lethial]

Good question op, what should you do?

 

[rou021]

Have you tried selling it to Gizmodo?

Spoiler

Seriously, turn it in or try to find the owner.

 

[UrokeJoe]

I agree with the usefulness of the 4, but it really was a beautiful device in its time.

 

[Hidden One]

I still have an iphone 4s laying around somewhere.

 

[LumpOfCole]

Ask Siri who owns the phone.

 

[Neoxon]

I'd honestly turn it in. It's the right thing to do.

 

[The Real Abed]

Makes for a great storage device, MP3 player or even a dashcam.

Far from useless.

It wouldn't hold much to be a dashcam. But an MP3 player would be good.

AT&T Wireless has a promo where if you port in a number they'll give $100 for the line move, and $200+ for a phone valued at $10 or more. The iPhone 4 seems to just make the cut.

 

[Arkos]

Feed it pizza

 

[Dai101]

Trade it for a mazapan.


Sorry , mexican meme.

Never heard of it before.

 

[Ryaaan14]

Post a video of u blowing it up

This is super smart, you think they don't screen the traded in devices to see if they were reported as stolen? Say hi to the cops for me if you try something like that.

More fool you.

 

[xxracerxx]

Should have turned it in to the employees.

 

[VanquishUK]

Ask Siri who owns the phone.

Don't think Siri is available on the iPhone 4.

 

[The Real Abed]

Don't think Siri is available on the iPhone 4.

It's not. And it can't go past iOS 7.
