Anyway ...
On getting the phone back, I found that the finder had exhausted the 20 attempts at screen lock before google had asked for gmail sign in. My phone also told me that my gmail account had an incorrect password attempt. In short, the finder had tried to get the phone to be usable, but had failed, then, I guess, as a last resort, opted for ringing me for reward (they had got my home phone number from the phone as it was displayed when I had tried ringing it several times).
In short, my faith in humanity has not been totally restored, but I am pleased to get my phone back safe in the knowledge that a good screen lock basically renders the hand piece useless to the uninitiated. I am curious, though, for the more tech savvy - is there a way to break into a android phone bypassing the screen lock?
