Something stuck in my iPhone 5's charger port?

Today my headphone jack on my iphone wasn't working so i decided to put in a bag of rice in case i got some water in it. This worked fine but then i took it out of the bag and there was a piece of rice lodged in the little charger port right next to the headphone jack. I tried getting it out with toothpicks but no such luck. Does anyone have any other ideas? Currently now i can't charge my iphone, as the cord won't go in far enough (and i don't want to push the rice further in)

Stolen iPhone 5, what to do now?

So a family member has just had their iPhone 5 stolen (and we know it was stolen and not lost because we saw it happen). We immediately rang the local police & Vodafone and had the IMEI and SIM blacklisted, so the thieves can't use any network features any more. I also changed the passwords of all accounts associated with the device.

The problem here though, is that the person had never installed 'Find My iPhone' or the like, and the device had no passcode lock enabled on it (stupid, I know).
So even though it can't be used on a network any more, it can still be used as a standalone handset. My question is, is there anything else we could do about it?
I know it can't be triangulated or tracked without a court order, so is there any way to take action against attempts to wipe the phone and sell it as new?
I basically need it bricked, and I know for a fact Apple can do this through iTunes when the phone attempts to activate after a wipe, but they won't without a court order.

Note: I will ignore and mark as spam answers which just say 'Find My iPhone', or ones which suggest similar software. Keep in mind that the phone has already been stolen, so such answers are pointless.

Added (1). I also know for a fact that the phone company (Vodafone) has no control over the content over the phone, and it is they can't force a wipe on the phone, or cause it to shut down permanently etc, so please refrain from telling me to call them.

Added (2). Typo… Rephrase of that last edit:

Moving around apps on the iPhone 4s?

I have a question regarding moving apps around on the iPhone 4s. My music app (the orange box with the black music note in it) is hiding. I have to scroll all the way to the left and type in the word music in order for it to come up. How to I make it so that I don't have to type up the word music to find it- so that it's where all the other apps are?

What happens when your Iphone completely dies?

So one morning I woke up and my iPhone was a fan, with wires and plates sticking out of it 3" wide. It looks basically like a fan.So, my sim card is still in it. And usually it saves my numbers.
Will all of my numbers be saved on it? And, will my pictures be on it? Is there some way to get them?

Buying the iPhone 5 at bestbuy?

Right now I have an iPhone 3GS with AT&T and I'd like to get an iPhone 5. My first question is, my 2 year contract is up early next month, do I have to wait till then to upgrade or could I do it now?
Second question, I have best buy gift cards that I'd like to use so can I upgrade at best buy or does it have to be at AT&T? You know, get the phone for $200 with another 2 year contract with the same plan that I have now, just put the number on my new phone and be good to go and not have to anything at an AT&T store?
