"Wayne Dobson doesn't have your cellphone.

Even if it looks like he might.

In the past two years the 59-year-old retiree has been pestered by people showing up at all hours of the day and night at his house, demanding their phones. They've yelled, shown him evidence, called the police - sworn that their phone is in his house.

But he's no thief.

"It's very difficult to say, 'I don't have your phone,' in any other way other than, 'I don't have your phone,'?" Dobson said.

What has become a powerful tool for police hunting down bad guys and people who lose their phones or who call 911 has backfired on Dobson. An unexplained glitch with at least one cellphone company is directing people with missing phones to his North Las Vegas home."

If I were him I would sue Sprint. They are going to lose, then a judge will force them to fix it as well as pay damages. If they don't pay up he could sieze a cell tower in say, downtown LA, for restitution... that should get them moving.
