The following is a semi long post, Please bear with me and try your best to give me positive advice on the matter, And note that there is no TLR. Thanks for those of you who read to the end. The other day, By a park I normally hang out with my friends at that my friend lives rather close to, I found an HTC One phone, I was planning to turn it into the police station, before checking the android account and a few other areas (facebook, email, etc.) to see if it belonged to anyone I knew, I realized that the HTC had recently been wiped and only had apps installed by default when you buy the HTC, without an android account being logged in, and without any network settings whatsoever (Previous internet connections saved), I thought about it for a bit and realized that the police wouldn't be able to figure out who's phone it was if I did return it, And considered myself lucky to have found a phone that retails for $99. A few days later, After filling the empty phone with my previous android account and apps originally installed on my Nexus 7, That I'm currently in the process of replacing the screen of, as it's damaged and doesn't function properly anymore, And after letting a few friends know of the phone I found, The friend that lives by the park of mine saw me whip out the phone and accused me of stealing it. I refused that and stated that I found it by the park not far from where they lived, The friend told me that the phone used to be her dads before he upgraded and she was secretly planning to give it too him because his phone wasn't as good, She then said that her boyfriend had dropped it there while they were conspiring to participate in secretly giving her fathers phone, his property, to her boyfriend thus aiding and abetting in the theft of her fathers property. Of course, When I didn't give the phone back because I called bullshit, Figuring she wanted a new HTC for her boyfriend, She went ape shit and told me how I was a thief and told her parents I stole it from them. They now apparently have found the receipt and box of the phone, And are now accusing me of stealing the phone, When in reality their daughters boyfriend was the one attempting to do so and I'm now taking the blame for which. Her parents also want it back and I don't exactly know what to do, As I feel like if I don't give it back I could be charged with theft for something I never did indeed steal, Or that they're completely fucking with me and trying to get a free HTC out of me. If it really is there's, Would I legally be required to give it back? They say they have proof it's theirs but I have no way of knowing if it is or not or if what they're saying is even true. My now ex-friend, states that she remembers the phone because of the exact same crack on the screen What should I do? The best possible resolution to this I feel would be to just turn the phone into the police and report it as lost and if they do indeed have the receipt they could talk to the police about it and prove it's theirs to them. Anyway, Ideas?
