Today, after being upset at the fact that my phone was stolen at work, I received a note on my locker saying, "100 bucks and you get the phone back." My phone is being held for ransom. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I left my phone at work. After returning to the office to retrieve it, I noticed it was not on my desk as it usually is. I went to the front office and found it on the desk, unattended. When turning on my phone, I was greeted by my new lockscreen: a crap someone took in the bathroom. FML
Today, my new iPhone was stolen from my school locker. After canceling my service, sobbing, having my mom yell at the secretary for their lack of security and finally agreeing to change to a private school, I found it in the corner of my locker. FML
Today, after having lost my phone three days ago, I paid a $150 non-refundable fee to have my phone replaced and mailed to me by Tuesday. A half hour later, I found my original phone. FML
Today, I seemingly misplaced my cell phone but didn't have time to look for it before work. This evening, my cell phone company calls me to tell me I have six hundred dollars worth of calls to El Salvador that I have to pay for. My cell phone was not misplaced, it was stolen. FML
Today, I lost my $100 in cash that I had to use to pay my phone bill. As a result, my phone got cut off and I missed an important call for an apartment that I was looking at. When I went to work, I heard my boss saying how lucky she was to find $100 in cash. FML
Today, my phone got stolen at church. FML
Today, I lost my wallet while out shopping. Panicked, I retraced my steps and found it at a store, turned in by an employee. Grateful, I opened it to find a note that read, "We left the money but took one dollar for karma." I checked. They did actually take one dollar. FML
Today, my house was robbed while I was at work. The robber left a note telling me my stuff was crappy and that they found my safe under the bed. FML
Today, my phone went missing. My 8-year-old son took it to school and sold it for $10. FML
Today, in a rush to get to the gym after work for a class, I left my phone in the office. It's Friday and the building will be locked until Monday morning. FML

Ok so Joke or not, this is a massive inconvenience, and for the note to be put on your work locker, it has to be someone at work who's done this. Unless you work somewhere the public could possibly access your locker, AND know it was yours....which is stupendously unlikely. In which case leave a note for the taker on your locker, stating a time and place to meet. Show the ransom note to your boss ( I really hope you've left it in place on your locker ) and state that this sort of behaviour, if a joke, is absolutely unnaceptable. You need your phone.You want the person identified and dealt with severely. Frankly I'm a tolerant person but even I wouldn't put up with this sort of "humour". I would want that person fired. If it IS a genuine theft and ransom , then leave the note stating a time and place to meet, and have your boss, and perhaps one police officer if possible, with you but hidden somewhere out of sight of the meeting place but close enough to see the person when they arrive. Then when they turn up, and I'm guessing they'll be stupid enough to do so, hand over the money and have your boss/police officer leap out on them. They'll be caught and fired/possibly arrested. A little OTT to get a phone back, but I guess that depends on how badly you need that phone, and what is stored on it.

Better tell your boss because at least you know that the person who stole your phone is your co-worker.

I would ask someone trustworthy what he/she thinks. You may be able to narrow it down to a list of a few suspects. Then let your boss know. If nothing turned out, I would then call my phone company and give them the IMEI number so they can block the phone, and buy a new phone.

maybe call the cops? or text your phone from one of those apps and figure out who it is?

If it's an iPhone, use find my iphone on icloud and see if theyre stupid enough to leave it on. And tell your boss, he don't want you to go to headoffice with this as theft from workplace is pretty serious and could lead to the boss being fired/ getting a probation/ getting a fine ect since he/shes in charge of the workplace. (least i uk, don't know the rules in us)

Have your manager/boss help you use the note to compare to people's handwriting. Because phones are so expensive nowadays, it may be felony theft to steal one. I'm sure the person rather give the phone back than get arrested and carted out of work (like one my ex-co-workers).

Or put a note on your locker saying, "I know who you are, I'll give you (x amount of time) to return the phone before I call the cops." that might scare them straight.
