“…give your IMEI number to law enforcement agencies and they will get your device”
Say what?? This article must be meant for Canadians for something… because it doesn’t work like that in the USA. If your phone or tablet is stolen the most you can do is file a report. No one is going to investigate your stolen device unless you’re a celebrity or very rich. This one lady I know had her house broken into and the thieves made off with a lot of her electronics, including her Tablet. I used Android Device Manager and managed to trace her tablet to a specific location… she went to the police but they told her they weren’t going to do anything more.
