Can I have police confiscate my stolen iPhone?
My iPhone 4s was stolen a few months ago and today I was messing around on iCloud and noticed my old iPhone was still being tracked. So I'm still able to see the area the guy has it in. He changed the iPhone's name (where it shows which devices you're locating) from mine to his, which I searched for on Facebook, and since it's a foreign name, only one person showed up. I check his "check in's" things to see where he's been when posting on FB, which a lot of which are really close to where I tracked him. His address doesn't show up on his profile but I can see where he's been and where he is. But I do have some info on him (What country he's from, where he went to school, DOB, current town, and lots of pictures. I registered the phone serial number when I first got it so I want to prove that the phone is mine. So my main question is, if I prove to the police that the phone's serial number is registered to me, I can track where it's at, show him everything I just wrote, and proof that I bought it (Still have all the receipts), would that cop be able to go check the phone's serial number and return it to me. If not, I'm still able to lock the phone, wipe it, and send it messages, so should I just tell him all this and try to scare him into giving it back?
Yes because it's stolen property. Answer my question?
No the police will not care a phone stolen.
- Would the police get involved for an expensive stolen object by a minor? My mom bought me glasses($400). They are "real" and the lenses are made to fit my eye vision. I'm in middle school and a high school boy who has a reputation for stealing things (ipods, iphones etc) stole my glasses while he was hanging out with me. Will the police be willing to get involved in this? I live in California. I really need them back, they're expensive and I can barely see anything during class… Or life
- Tracked stolen iphone, can the police help retrieve it? On Monday night my phone went missing at a nightclub, I'm unsure whether it was lost or stolen however a couple of other things went missing from my bag. I know now that the phone has been taken, using iCoud and "find my iphone" I tracked my phone to a house on a road near to the club, so someone has obviously found/taken my phone home with them. Are the police able to do anything about this as i know the location of my phone?
- My iphone was stolen. Find my iphone tracked it 15 miles from my house. Should I call police? It happened two weekends ago and I don't think the person ever turned it on until today but I got an email saying it was turned on, lost mode was activated so it locked itself, and it has tracked it to a city about 15 miles away from my house at an apartment complex. I don't think it would be necessary to go there and start knocking on doors. Should I contact police? Its an iphone 4.
- If you track your stolen iphone will the police retrieve it for you? My iphone was stolen last night its yet to be turned on but using the find my iphone app i should be able to find the address, the problem is that the whoever took it is not going to willingly give it back, and the people i have an idea of who took it are quite intimidating, thank you.
