How do you persuade the grunt at the desk that you really have lost it and

Why should that matter? Mobile operators give out SIM cards for nowt all
the time. They are physically worth a couple of quid if that. You would
have to purchase the phone or claim on insurance. And the old one would be
blocked so useless anyway.

I can't imagine any questions being asked at all unless you did it every
other week.
