i found a htc evo and wanted to activate it but they said it was stolen. and i couldn't. can some one tell me how to get off of that.:(
 
If you found an Evo that's not yours, you should turn it in. Simply put, it IS stolen or lost property and cannot be activated.

the right thing to do is call sprint and let them know about it so that they can get in touch with the owner of the phone and go from there. if the owner got a replacement, then they may do something for you if you sign a contract with sprint.

Long story short, the phone belongs to the original owner/Sprint/an insurance company.

Since you are not the owner, you will not be able to activate it legally.
