To be honest- who would want it when it's water damaged like this? You dot know 
which bits work. I'm tempted to say send it to me, and it it comes on in six 
months I'll give you fifty quid;)

Can you remote wipe it? Then it would wipe itself if it was ever powered on, 
hopefully? (does that work via a new SIM?)
