Thieves sell to fences who know how to sell stolen items for maximum profit.
Did you not read anything I wrote?
And no, that isn’t likely the path for stolen phones,especially when it’s a theft of opportunity by someone looking to feed a drug habit. They aren’t thinking about going to a fence who can give them what the phone is worth at that level of the chain.
As I said in another comment, the locks both apple and android put in years ago had a major impact on the theft of phones. It’s pointless to steal them unless it’s part of a larger operation or you’re trying to get a phone that’s unlocked so you can siphon money from someone instead of just reselling the phone.
