If you send it back you have no evidence!
If he sends you a replacement & that dies in 6 weeks time what will
you do?
You cant report him for the 1st phone because that will be gone & he will
play innocent on the 2nd one!
If the phone is still under contract or the original owner has reported it
stolen then you are handling stolen goods.

Well it looks like my replacement actually arrived! I have to get home and check the thing actually works first, but I've been told a box arrived via special delivery of the right shape so I should be ok . . . I wonder if it's the same one that's been reprogrammed?
Anyway I don't care if it is TBH, or if it is nicked. The one that first arrived was mint, new in box so if it was nicked it was nicked off a pallette not some poor bugger in the street.
Shall jump up and down for joy should it all be ok
Shame I already bought a vodafone branded replacement - god the Vodafone one is rubbish - all the buttons are screwed up! takes twice as many presses to make a call now
Shall give it to my mum for christmas if I can keep them both, little more than I planned to spend but she needs a good camera
Thanks for everybodys help, advice and suggestions - this is a very informative forum

Such phones that are blocked in the uk can they be used abroad?
you can send it here in cyprus if you want !
Basically i dont understand why police block the phones, before they get the thiefs. Just track the numbers that are dialled and then block the phone. When police block a phone, then you may say...bye bye phone. Or is it not legal yet to do such a thing?

@haris_el :
The police doesn't block phones, the phone company does, after the owner has reported it has been stolen.

A ok, in my country Cyprus, you have to report it to the police that your phone is stolen , and then with their indication the phone is blocked. It is obvious that the phone company blocks the SIM card.
BY the way did they start looking for thiefs that are using phones stolen in the UK abroad? I remember a couple of people in the UK when i was studying ; were " losing " their phone in order to get a new one from their insurance company, and then they took their "lost" one back to their countries...
