Hopefully you can replace the picture and information.

Having to live with them, you learn that most of them are in their situation, due to a drug or alcohol addiction that they haven't broken. Giving them free money to go drug themselves up isn't quite my idea of fun. Even if it's to get my phone back. At this point, it'd be better off for me to spend the full cost of getting a replacement phone (an A900M, instead of the A640), and go from there. When I get my computer back, I think I still have my mother's picture on there, and I can try to replace it from that. >>1

Fat chance they'll return it in a usable condition at all (though if they did, the coverage I *do* have *will* cover that particular circumstance. :)~), but at least they won't get any usage out of it. I had Sprint suspend that phone number, so I wouldn't take any charges from that. However, I'm rather cheesed off at the people at the first Sprint Store: They gave away customer information (Minor, since I was the person they gave it away to, but, think: If I know your full name, and your phone number on Sprint, I can walk in, say your phone is stolen, and have them freeze the account without breaking a sweat). Thanks, guys.

I mean, giving $100 to a homeless man in exchange for something they can't use anyway (providing it hasn't already been tossed) is easy -- and I'd say that data is worth well more than that. -Gushi Any chance I can offer you some money to post as a possible no-questions-asked reward?
