My friend's son (17) found a cell phone in a cab after the bar. Not knowing who it belonged to, he used it until the owner disconnected it. His friend called overseas. The owner now received the bill and is trying to determine who has the cell and who made the calls. The owner doesn't have any proof of anything, except a bill showing several number that were called and a friend of my friend's son who is blaming him for it. The owner has threatened with calling the police on him.
What could happen? Could he be charged? Would it be Mischief under $5000?
He is very frightened... never has been charged! What can I tell my friend?
I appreciate your advise.
Thanks
