I hope the police are letting people prove that that's their phone by describing the wallpaper and possibly the passcode.

I picked up my phone before from Gbawe CP back in the day. The phone was stolen from Bloom bar, and I informed a friend, who in turn rang a guy who asked me to come to Gbawe cp, and that was how they showed me sets of phones to pick mine out from. Very sophisticated thieves.
