My iPhone was stolen and i tracked it down but?
Ok guys, my iPhone was stolen. I searched withe the lostiphone app and i did find it. But couldn't do anything until cops got a search warrant and all the bull. But it has been like 2 days since it says offline, its probably dead or they turn off the "Find my iPhone". Even though the iPhone had a password i know they can still restore the iPhone and my chances in finding it are slim, but here's my question. I just got the family locator on sprint, and it will show me where exactly it is once they turn it on, even though they had the Find iPhone off. But what can be an issue in finding it thru sprint? Obviously if its off or does not have service. What if i don't disconnect the phone and keep searching for it thru the sprint family locator? Can it happen even if they restored the phone? Remember its not thru the apple, the family locator is thru sprint. As long as the phone is active in the account there's no way they can hide it from me right? Please any suggestions? Hopefully i can find it, because its a $750 phone! Damn people!
A stolen phone is like a stolen car, if it was stolen by pros they will probably use it for parts.
- 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?
- Stolen iPhone 5. Can it be tracked? My iPhone 5 is off and might be on airplane mode when turned on. I can't use Find My iPhone because it is off but is it also because it might be on airplane mode? Also, it says on my itunes that the last iCloud back up was at 12:47 am. Which is 10 hours after my phone was stolen. What does that mean? Could iCloud still back up when turned off?
- Say someone sold you a stolen or lost iPhone 5.can it be tracked? I lost an iPhone 5… Just wondering, is there a way to track it to who ever has it? I mean after they have basically factory reset it. I heard they have a GPS tracker that allows the carrier to track it… Is that true? Can someone start using the phone themselves… With no problem. Have I lost my iPhone for good?
- 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.
