Background:

1-2 years ago my cell was stolen when I was in gym class. The "investigation" put on by the school yielded nothing, and nethire did calling the #. My dad tried to call me on my old number today and got an answering machine... My phone was super sick..I had it imported from russia...

Anyway, so far i've texted the guy asking "whos this"

Is there any chance that my old cell # got transfered to his phone?

What should I do? If theres any chance I can catch the fucker who stole my phone I wanna take it.

If your phone was that sweet and imported from russia don't you think it would have had some sort of GPS on it?

Was your phone number cancelled when you lost the phone. Because if it was, the phone company puts the number back into the system to be re-assigned to a new customer.

phone numbers aren't locked to specific cell phones.  if my phone gets stolen i can go have my phone number put on a new phone.  if you replaced your phone & phone number a couple of years ago, there is a good possibility that the phone number has been reactivated.  they sit in quarantine for about 6 months before they are recycled through the system (usually).  that phone number has probably been activated on a new account.  your old handset is history.  you aren't ever getting it back.  i wouldn't spend too much time thinking about it...

Well heres the thing.. I am pretty sure I was on a "pay as you go" plan from tmobile in which you didn't need any account information to buy mins..So I didn't cancel my #, i switched to AT&T Also the phone didn't have a gps in it.

text him telling him to go to some party but itll actually be a trap where you get your phone back. and you could beat the shit out of him too

It was a really unique phone that took a long time to find..but wasn't super expensive. My parents didn't want me to get a monthly plan until later...

I bet the guy called t mobile and ended the service, then made his own number on any other kind of cell service
