Ask HN: Stolen iPhone. Can see on Find My iPhone. What should I do next?
Goto cops? Says last located 5 minutes ago. Somewhere in Queens I think. I am in Manhattan.
- nsmartt 15y agoI have no input of my own, but I found this (http://tipsfor.us/2008/11/01/what-do-i-do-if-my-iphone-is-lost-or-stolen/ http://tipsfor.us/2008/11/01/what-do-i-do-if-my-iphone-is-lo...) on Google.
- conformal 15y agocool story bro
- Zev 15y agoGoto cops? Yes. Why wouldn't you do this?
- badclient 15y agoI did. Couldn't help much.
- miles_matthias 15y agoWhy wouldn't they help? If you know the location of stolen property, wouldn't they chase after it for you? There have been a ton of posts on here about people losing their laptops and retrieving them with police assistance because they were able to locate it.
- badclient 15y agoNot NYPD. Most they could do is give me a report I can use with my insurance...if I had insurance.
- miles_matthias 15y agoWell if you have sensitive information on it, lock it, wipe it, and go buy a new one because the crook will probably realize you're on to them and destroy the phone. If you're more concerned with just getting the phone back, get the police to retrieve it since you know the location.
