" I just received the subpoena from Judge Foster this morning (at 1015 hours) and have served the subpoena to AT&T Subpoena Compliance as of 1045 hours this date via fax. AT&T has until December 28, 2012 at 0900 hours to comply. Now, we wait."
That is a copy of the email I got 11/26 from the official who took the case, so I am patiently waiting : (
Awesome!
Don't expect a quick resolution though as it all takes time and effort.
Once AT&T responds detectives then speak with the account holder who may or may not play games. If that person decides to cooperate it could go quickly but if they don't it turns into a long drawn out kind of thing.
The PD may forward charges to the DA and then you wait for the DA to file charges. Then a very long wait for a court date that could get continued to a later date several times over.
Lastly, assuming it goes to court, if the person is found guilty and ordered to pay restitution getting that restitution payed back could be another lengthy time frame.
Hopefully the account owner, when confronted by the police, tells some lame story about how they found the phone, didn't know it was stolen, and hands the phone to the officer..
In this instance charges may not be filled because it would be difficult to disprove the story but you would at least get your phone back..
Looks like you are on track so keep at it and good luck!
