Try the tricks that various PocketPC apps can do to a phone thief, (#4 although unbricked iPhones can't do this until Apple invents the wheel), it's quite simple:

When the software is installed it doesn't show up on the handset but records the SIMs serial number. When the SIM is changed then the app starts texting the emergency number with the new sims number. You can also send commands back to the new SIM to lock the phone or obtain the phone numbers it's been dialling since you lost it.

"CDC 6600
For a time the fastest machine in the world, Control Data Corporation's 6600 machine was designed by noted computer architect Seymour Cray. It retained its speed crown until 1969, when Cray designed his next supercomputer."

Woot, only around 690 years before the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence will gain a similar reprieve!

You found the store of the evil fortune cookies.
(See for karma to work there must be good and evil fortune cookies, but obviously no one wants to hand you an evil fortune cookie even if you are a really bad tipper as karma comes back to bite your waiter in the ass.)

Now step away from the dumpster of pure evil fortune....
