My friend found a HTC Phone on the ground, And It has the same company as me (U.S. Cellular) , But they dont have sim cards, So If I went in to the store and activate it and use it, Would they know it's "Stolen" even though he found it?

Take it to the police station. If after 30 days the owner doesn't claim it, then it is rightfully yours. Thats how the state law works.

It doesn't matter if there's a SIM Card if it's a smartphone. There's a mounted GPS on it that you can't disable unless if you disable the network which means you have to call in the company and you can't do that without verification.

Yeah I know what your saying.. Thanks for the Feedback man!

If he reported it stolen then yes.
But if they don't report it stolen or call the phone within a few days you can keep it, by law.
