Today, I lost my phone. I called the number from my friend's phone, hoping I could find it. A guy answered, laughed "Thanks for the phone!" and hung up. FML

Track your number, since this guy is obviously too dumb to turn the thing off.

Just shut off the phone. Then, he can't use it.

Have the police track the number!

If movies have taught me anything, you can triangulate his coordinates using the cell towers, send in an elite team, get into a high-speed chase, and end with a full-blown shoot out. Or you can buy a new phone.

You've got to admire that attitude of gratitude. For that you ought to let him keep using your phone. People with nice manners deserve a break!

He's obviously stupid for not turning it off, lol. You can just track his silly ass if it's an iPhone.

If you shut it down through your phone company they can make it completely useless. At least with most smart phones they can

Then he can just sell the phone... Either way OP loses and the thief makes a pretty penny..

I can imagine the first thing the OP said when their phone was answered was something along the lines of gimme my phone back!
