Take note, anti-hp-stealers..

Before anyone loses his/her mobile phone, one
should first check the serial number of the
phone by keying in *#06# where a 15-digit
number will appear on the screen.
Please record it down and keep it for reference.

In case the phone is lost, the rightful owner
can call the service provider to disable the
phone by providing the serial number.

That means, the person who took the phone
cannot use it at all even if they insert a new
sim card. If everyone knows this procedure,
there would not be much use taking away
someone's phone.
