| STOLEN black iphone 4 with bright red hello kitty case
hi guys, wondering if there is anything I can do to locate a stolen iphone 4? find my iphone was not activated, no location apps.
my sis was at the osaka market in richmond, put her phone down for a split sec on the counter to pay, some fucker grabbed it and turned off the phone. That was a stupid move by her I know. My sis and her bf asked security to look at the video cameras, the security guard said he saw nothing and cant show the video and also the cashier said she didnt see anything. thanks

good luck with your phone. I sure hope they don't take off that red hello kitty case. Will keep a lookout for you.

the security / management HAS to show who took it. Someone (either you or your sis) is not trying enough to get the footage

Consider your phone lost. But I would suggest remove that phone from your apple acct so it can't be used to try to access your apple acct or buy apps with your acct. Is under settings I think and it shows how many device are authorize to download from your acct.

I recently lost my iphone 4, and i was under contract with telus for a year. I was gonna buy another iphone 4 for like $200, but i ended up signing another contract with telus and got an iphone 5 for basically the same money.
Unfortunately my last backup for my iphone was back in Feb 2012. So i lost a shitload of contacts but fortunately whatsapp saved up all my contacts from the day i lost it. So all of that was saved. But pictures were gone though.....

^Get dropbox, it's free. I sync all my pictures regularly from my iPhone to a folder located on my desktop. I also have access to my MS-word documents.

The only time they would HAVE to turn it over is upon being served a warrant for it by the police.

Look into the apple care warranty for the next iho e if she gets one. I was told that it will cover lost or stolen iPhones.
Have to be really careful now as smartphones or cells in general, have been targeted more more now.

Everyone who has a phone should be using Google sync and drop box.
Google sync automatically backs up contacts and calendars, while dropbox automatically backs up pictures taken by camera.
Sorry to hear OP. Pretty ballsy to steal a phone like that though. At least it wasn't her wallet. Posted via RS Mobile |

That'll teach her to put on a hello kitty case
jk
In seriousness though file a police complaint. If he gets busted down the road and he still has the iphone you can get it back. This is pretty common for petty thieves to get caught.

I know some girls who use cause with bulky design on the back which makes it impossible to put in their pockets...... |

1. AppleCare doesn't cover lost or stolen phones
2. Google sync is being discontinued soon
3. Just get a new phone, not worth the hassle and odds are very slim you will ever find it

Maybe she will actually take some responsibility in taking care of it better. |
