A phone can be traced, and blocked. It could be tracked via the cells (masts) that a phone logs onto so it's approximate location can be made. It can be blocked via it's IMEI number.
If this is re. that E1000, hand it into the police as lost property mate, as I say you'll get it back in a month's time if no one claims it

Nothing happens mate, how are they to know you stole the phone. They will never contact you anyway, but you could always say you bought it off ebay anyway

Probably a fine.... I wouldn't be surprised if I've inadvertently had a stolen phone at some stage when I've bought a phone off Ebay to fix and it turns out to be blocked - I guess I could technically have been done for handling stolen goods....
