Is it really considered okay to call 911 for a stolen phone? I thought 911 was for emergencies (e.g. imminent danger to property or someone's life or health). If your phone's already stolen, what can the police do urgently? This assumes they can respond quickly. I wouldn't have thought a stolen phone would result in a quick response in NYC.

- urethrafranklin 9y agoNo, you can call 911 for basically any crime. It's not like they are gonna get there in under 10-15 minutes even if it is an exigency.
