Brand New Iphone 5c Stolen. Is there a way to find it?
I bought a new-used iphone 5c off of amazon from a 3rd party seller. It was listed as delivered by via 2 day shipping by Fedex on my front porch but when I checked it wasn't there. I called Fedex and they found the driver and he confirmed he left it on the porch.
The phone was new and hadn't been activated yet. I live in a trailer park so odds are one of my neighbors stole it. My question is can I somehow track the iphone down if the thief activates it? I can email the person who sold it to me and they can give me its serial number. I know the answer is probably not but I'm in pain that an almost new $250 phone was stolen from me after I saved up for a year to buy it.
Added (1). My problem is solved. I found the Fedex guy who delivered my package. He was really nice and drove to my house and realized he delivered my package to one of my neighbors 3 doors down. He is trying to get in touch with them and if he can't get my package back he'll provide me with documentation he was at fault so I can get my money back from either Fedex or Amazon.
Now way to track it at this point. But if I were you i would contact the seller, get the ESN/IMEI and contact the carrier it was sold through originally and get them to blacklist it.
Never have items that cost more than you can afford to lose, delivered to your home/work without a signature! This is why I have packages delivered to a local mail drop, so they get signed for and are there until I pick them up, plus they text me as soon as it arrives, so i can make arrangements to leave work a little early to pick things up, or get a friend to do it for me.
Really nothing you can do other than report it to the cops. You have no recourse with FedEx, since you agreed to delivery without a signature.
Get findmyiphone or call the carrier to track it.
- Why does my iphone say no sim when there's a brand new one in there? I bought this iphone 4 on ebay second hand and the advert said it was locked to orange, I bought a new orange sim, I'm unable to activate the phone because it is still in factory settings and won't let me go any further without a sim
- Stolen iPhone 6 brand new sealed? So my neighbor bought a brand new sealed iPhone 6 (virgin mobile). It was delivered to his address but it was stolen before he had a chance to receive it. Is their anyway he can track the iPhone when someone activates it? Or any chances of recover it?
- My iPhone just got stolen and i didn't put on Find my iphone. Is there a way i can find it without find my iphone? I have found out that i can remove my iphone from associated devices. Does doing this erase the iphone?
- Is there any difference between the beats wireless studio 2 and the brand new studio 3 wireless headphones? I currently have the beats pro that I bought a few years ago and I have the new iPhone 8 and it doesn't take a headphone jack unless you buy the special adapter which isn't godly expensive like $5-7. But to me that defeats the purpose of the phone. I was just curious as to if there are any key differences between the two and if so, what are they? Which would you prefer the two? Or maybe even keeping my headphones and getting the adapter?
