So, my brother broke the screen of his S7 Edge. I made him a deal that I'd pay his insurance deductible if I got to keep the broken phone. We did that, his new phone came in and his old one kept working for me.
I ran some IMEI checks and it comes back clean.
My question is, if I take it in to the local Samsung repair place to get it fixed, will they check to see if it was ever reported lost or stolen?
I'd take it to a regular place but they want $100-$150 more than Samsung.

PS, I bought an LED Flip Case and it's not working, could the back of the phone being cracked be a reason for this?
Did Samsung request the old phone be returned?

Well he reported it lost, but he said he did it through the automated system and it didn't mention anything about returning it.

Why would he report it lost if he knew you had it?

It was the only Samsung case that wasn't made with a cheap plastic feel. If they made one with no gimmicks I'd have bought it.

okay, dont be dumb
take it in, say that you found it after he lost it -- say that it fell out of the truck or fell under his bed or something.
then ask if they can repair it
dont be stupid

Right, but the problem is its an official Samsung store, so if I explain to them that it was now found, they'll absolutely take it.
Your idea is the stupid one. I'm asking if they'd check it without me bringing it up.
