Solution to your problem

1) Locate ringing telephone
2) Locate copy of today's Metro or similar free newspaper
3) Locate Sellotape
4) Wrap mobile in several layers of newspaper and sellotape
5) Place mobile in desk drawer of offender.

You will barely be able to hear it, and offender will think twice in the future.

Now that would be criminal damage, rather than just an inconvenience, depends on how evil you want to be I guess.

I thought the point of mobile phones was that they could be carried with you. So why do the muppets here persist in leaving mobiles on their desks, so that we can hear their carppy ringtones when they are off elsewhere?

No better are the idiots who call these numbers and allow them to ring scores of times before ending the call.
