Stolen iphone 5s! What to do
So at basketball on Saturday my phone got stolen! There was picture day at my school for the YMCA and I know one of the people there stole it! I don't know which YMCA it is but there are only 3 in my state. I tracked it down to an address and it was a parking lot with an apartment building next it so I don't know where it is but it's been jumping around place to place. I already called the cops and apple and AT&T and it is still missing what should I do because I don't have enough money to buy another one. But the cops waited until today to do something when it could be gone now. It's locked and I have it in lost mode and I don't know what to do now because I'm only 14.So I don't know what to do! I need it back by Thursday because of the Xbox ONE midnight release!
While the police are sorting that out, why don't you get a temporary phone, like a cheap one from somewhere. Until you get your other phone back.
They won't be able to get any data off your phone because:
1. Its locked so you can't unlock it
2. If they try and connect to itunes, it will tell them to unlock it, and will not transfer any data until they enter the passcode on the phone. It will also detect that's its in lost mode, and it should refuse to make any changes to the phone.
However…
They person who took it will be able to restore the device. So they can put it in DFU mode, and hit restore and everything will be deleted, and it will install a fresh ios 7 software. So even though they can't access your data, they can still delete it off

- 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.

- My iPhone got stolen so I ordered a new one, the person then gave it back. Can I sell my new iPhone? I had my iPhone stolen at a campground. I deactivated it and failed a claim to get a new iPhone. The person that stole it then turned it in. Since I have my iPhone back can I sell the new one to a friend?
