3. You lost true ownership or right to your device:
When you buy a new phone, the seller always ensure to write down the imei number of the phone to the receipt.
In my own knowledge, I believe they write down the imei to your receipt so you'd be able to claim your phone if its stolen and found.
I don't really know how to explain this but this example will..
Assuming u buy a device and change the imei, and then within 2-3 weeks the device gets stolen, you then rush and inform all your neighbours and friends to inform you if they find any Device that looks like yours in the hands of people you suspect.
If by the grace of God they find the device, you won't be able to claim it.
Yea, you won't be able to claim it since the device imei won't correlate
to the one you have in your receipt.
For sure the thief will win since you weren't able to provide that one unique source of true ownership.
