Kevin at Cray asks about stolen cellular phones.

My understanding is that phones stolen and/or disconnected for non-
payment go onto a hot list and that new service cannot be attached to
them.

On more than one occasion, I've heard of phones that come into a store
for programming, and when the person who left them comes back, the
cops are waiting.
