There are few ways of finding this without the phone itself.

Link

Also try an internet search of "obtaining IMEI number" for more information.

Get the police to phone the number offering to buy the car that has been offered for sale, for cash. They set up a meeting. When the miscreant turns up, he/she gets arrested for stealing the phone. Problem solved.

Call your phone and when thief responds, tell him to enter on the keypad #06# without spaces. Then ask him to give you the number that is on the screen. He will possibly feel sorry for you not keeping your phone papers with the IMEI number safe, and give it to you. If this doesn't work, seek help from your cell phone service provider. They have this number but they are only obliged to give it to the police. S.M.
