I found my stolen iPhone on Craigslist, what to do?
My phone was stolen the late hours of 29th/30th of August. I checked Craigslist for it last night and saw my phone, I know the marks my phone has. The seller had posted their number, I explained that I knew it was my phone and if they could return it no questions asked, they did not respond, so I asked a friend to text the number to see if its still available and will get a response, surely they did get response so now I definitely feel that it is my phone due to the fact he ignored my message. Now I don't know how to go about the situation. They have my phone off so I can't track it with find my iPhone.
You can try to report to the police. They might track it down and make the person hand it over. If they are not going to do that, then I suggest call that person again, and see if he admits.
CALL 911
Contact your local Police Department and tell them what you told us.
