Question:

Recover Email/ Fining a stolen phone?

Had it at the pawn shopCame from a pawn shop (getting back a stolen item, ironically) straight to the house.Checked all over in car, turned it inside out, even checked in door pockets. Not there.Checked room. Not there.Called pawn shop. They checked video and said I picked it up before I left.So now I'm pretty sure It dropped out of my pocket when I got into my car or something. The call doesn't go straight to voice mail, so it is still on. apparently there's an app in the app store called Plan B that you can install to your phone from the computer, problem is that I don't know the gmail address I used for it.Any help will be greatly appreciated!!

Answer:

Not sure where SteveKo was going with his answer since he switched from CO to CO2. I wouldn't worry too much about Steve's CO2 since that is what you exhale. You'd have to be living in an airtight box for CO2 to kill you. Your bigger concern is CO or Carbon Monoxide. It is a product of combustion. With a gas furnace, it is possible that it is not venting properly. Also, you don't mention if the detectors are alarming constantly or just a chirp. If its a chirp, one of the batteries is dying and needs to be replaced. If it is steady, you have an alarm condition. Recommendations: 1) As previously mentioned, replace all the backup batteries, especially if you haven't done so in the last 6 months. 2) Check the draft on your furnace. Look at the flame and see if it is steady moving upwards. You can use cigarette smoke or a smoke pencil near the furnace to see if it pulls the smoke up the vent. 3) Check the furnace vent on your roof. Make sure there are no obstructions. You never know if a bird or mouse decided it was a nice place to live. 4) The next time it goes off steady (assuming you are home and awake), start unplugging the detectors one at a time to see which one is the culprit. I'd start with the one nearest the furnace. 5) If the alarms are going off and there's no smoke, OPEN WINDOWS! You don't want to take a CO nap! 6) If you're not comfortable doing this, call a professional. Better yet, most Fire Departments will come help you with this if they're not busy.

What kind of project are you doing? There are so many possible answers. Surely all you need is a bell and some training to get someone to ring the bell and shout FIRE!
