But karma is what it is.

Oooor maybe karma was rewarding him by providing him with the phone of some stupid kid with rich parents who didn't deserve it and might not even care it was lost in the first place.

AFAIK, they don't blacklist IMEI's anyway... so what can they do about a stolen phone anyway? Even if they found the culprit, couldn't that person just say they found it?

I've heard that Fido has an internal IMEI blacklist but you can easily just unlock it and use it on Rogers. I thiiiink there is no universal blacklist in North America. I've also heard you can just opt out of providing the IMEI on activation.

Anyone else know what current IMEI blacklisting is like in Canada?

Guys, use your brains. If Rogers or anyone freezes or tries to seize potentially stolen phones, anyone can declare their lost phone stolen and get people in trouble for buying a "used phone." You guys are hilarious. What company or law enforcement agency has the resources, manpower and time to chase potentially stolen phones lol
