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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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

I would call the cops in on this one. There are two ways this could go: When the thief sees the cops are involved and realize you're not going to joke with this bastard, he/she will return the phone out of fear. Or, if the cops don't see it as that big of a deal and they can't find it by tracking the signal, at least file a report that way your insurance will cover it, since most companies will require a report about the missing phone, anyways. If the latter happens, have the IMEI blocked so that it is unusable, and the thief will basically have nothing more than a hunk of plastic and metal.

Tell your boss. Unless it is the boss. Then you can tell the cops.

put the note in a zip bag, phone police and ask them to get the fingerprints from it. Half serious there, if it is stolen property.

Okay, in general you should always set up the security settings to make you enter a four digit number (NOT YOUR BIRTHDAY OR THAT OF YOUR FAMILY) so no one can make unauthorized calls after they steal your phone. Pay the bastard off and then (after you have your phone back) tell your boss, other people may be victimized next otherwise. I assume you want your phone back otherwise I would go through the police/boss route first. There might be surveillance cameras, etc. in the hallway by your locker that can be examined so that the thief is caught. Good luck!

That really sucks! How are you supposed to know who to give the $100 to anyways? Im not saying pay up, just do a little investigating.

Take the note to the police and maybe they'll find some fingerprints on it.
