The person who stole my phone is using data on my account--can I find him or her and report to police?

Yea, I left my phone on the Amtrak train when I got off at Birmingham Michigan, realized it within minutes, raced the train up the tracks to the next stop Pontiac it had already been cleaned and the phone was stolen.   Since then, though I erased the phone because of confidential information, but the thief is  still having internet use.  can it be found or its position located by GPS?

You can track your phone through Find my iPhone and then see if the police will find that person from what you find through the application.. I'd suggest you call your cell phone carrier so you can suspend your phone and put it on the stolen list so they don't use your data

  • I tried to register my stolen iPhone onto My Profile but it says that it's registered under another apple ID (which is not mine) What does this mean? Does it mean the person who stole my phone is using my phone under another Apple ID?!

    Hi everyone,
    My iphone and Ipad got stollen yesterday...
    I registered my Ipad onto "my profile" but when I tried to register my Iphone 4 onto "My Profile" it says that the product has been registered under ANOTHER apple ID. What does this mean?! Does this mean that the thief is using my phone under a new apple ID?!
    I am getitng  abit paranoid because when I tried to download a new app onto my macbook pro, it says that someone had accessed my account from a new computer. I am so scared.. as I know that if they are able to access my apple ID account they can see my billing/card details. I tried to delete my billing address and card details on my apple ID account to prevent this from occuring but I can't. Please help
    Many thanks,
    Kim

    You should change your AppleID password NOW. And if it says it was registered under another AppleID, the thief has probably done it.

    What To Do If Your iDevice Is Lost Or Stolen
    If you activated Find My Phone before it was lost or stolen, you can track it only if Wi-Fi is enabled on the device.

You cannot recover your loss unless you insure your device for such loss. It is not covered by your warranty.

  • I had my iphone 4 stolen today, and i have called the network people they blocked my sim and phone. What i want to know is will the person who stole my phone be able to access my stuff, such as my contacts, texts, photos etc??

    I really don't think that they have any interest in your data. They most likely plan on wiping the phone in order to sell it.
    If they do restore from a backup, they would have to restore in Recovery Mode because it has a passcode on it. But that can't happen anyway because if they synced to a different iTunes library it would not have any of your backups.

  • HT201365 Once my phone is in Lost Mode and the Activation Lock is on, what will the person who stole my phone be able to do with it? If they bring it anywhere to activate it will Apple confiscate it?

    My phone was stolen and I am just curious how this Lost Mode/Activation Lock works! I know they can't get into my phone currently, and it's off. I tracked the location to an apartment complex before they shut it off, but it didn't give the apartment number, I am hoping they turn it on again soon so I can go back and play the noise, however if I can't I am hoping they will be stupid enough to try to bring it into apple and use it or bring it into verizon. Will Apple or Verizon take the phone for me and return it to me or let them walk out with it? Any background information on similar situations or any feedback would be amazing, I feel naked without my phone.

    They won't be able to use the phone, and Apple won't be able to reactivate it for them. Only you can unlock the phone, so it's useless to them. I would doubt that Apple would be able to identify and return the phone if they are stupid enough to take it in, but I don't know for certain.

  • The person who stole my phone can access my infos?

    Well, my phone was stolen here in Buenos Aires, the guy tried to call asking money to give it back, but well, thanks to the police I didn't get my phone back.
    Find My iPhone were on, but he turned my phone off, I got the address he were, but the police here is not very interested about helping me to get it back.
    My phone was blocked, so he can't unlock and I also asked to blocked the IMEI, but I'm kinda concerned about if he can get any information about me or if he can access my photos, e-mails or delete something from my iCloud.
    Could you guys please help me!?

    In which case as long as "find my iPhone" was activated the thief will never access or use the iPhone without your Apple id and password as set by you
    see here for explanation
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5818
    the iPhone cannot be accessed .just don't ever give your Apple id to any call claiming they need it (as the thief has your number )

  • My phone was stolen, but I had no data left and so can't locate it till the person who has it tries to use the internet. I backed up all my photos on iCloud, and want to get them on my PC. I installed iCloud onto the PC and still can't find my pictures?

    My phone was stolen, but I had no data left and so can't locate it till the person who has it tries to use the internet. I backed up all my photos on iCloud, and want to get them on my PC. I installed iCloud onto the PC and  followed the instructions and still can't find my pictures, says my photostream folder is empty, but it shows on iCloud that i've used most of my storage which is true, so they must be there somewhere?
    Any ideas? I'd really appreciate the help! Thanks

    Yes, I filed police report, but there is nothing they can do until I get back to them on the tracking. It's been offline. I'm sure the whoever took it can find a way around breaking in the ipad..i really was hoping to get my pictures and videos of my kids back

  • Who do i contact to get my iphone 4 blacklisted so the person who stole it will not be able to use it

    Contact your carrier to see if blacklisting the IMEI is a service they provide.

Could you guys help me to sign out this icloud's ID and game center's ID from that phone for me, or anyone knows how to do this, please mail back to me. Id : "[email protected]" Thanks.

    As far as I know you can't delete the primary email address for an iCloud account.  It's assigned when the account is created.  But your neighbor wouldn't have been able to get into your iCloud account without your Apple ID and password.  Are you sure the account wasn't still on your phone when you gave it to him?
    You could migrate a copy of your data to a new iCloud account but I would still be concerned that someone else was using my old account, which presumably still has your data in it.
    I'm fairly certain that you're going to have to have iCloud support help you sort this one out as they may have the ability to make changes to an existing account that users can't.  Make an appointment with the genius bar at a nearby Apple store and have them take a look at it.  If necessary, they should be able to contact iCloud support for you.

  • Someone stole my ipad in turkey, is it possible to block my ipad so the person who stole it, cant use it???

  • I have no idea how to get my ipad back, the cops sort of laughed at me, and the person who stole it broke into all my home accounts what can I do?

    I called the police and they told me they were there to escort me off the premisies.  The person who stole my iPad was actually helping me buy accessories for yea go ahead and laugh im not happy.  I called my carrier and they said there was nothing I could do. I could not use my insurance or upgrde to a new device. They said the could suspend my account until april but that is absolutely ridiculous. Please help

    Help you do what? We can't get your iPad back. Do what the provider said, suspend your account. Get a new iPad and sim card then turn your account back on with the new sim card.

  • Just got my ipod stolen and now I have changed all my passwords assigned to that ipod, can the person who stole it see my updated emails?

    Just got my ipod stolen and now I have changed all my passwords assigned to that ipod, can the person who stole it still see my updated emails and also can they see my facebook, although I changed the password to that too.

    If you changed your facebook password they will not be able to login to your Facebook account.
    Of course, other Facebook users may be able to see some of Facebook information depending upon how you have your privacy settings configured.

  • HT201472 Someone stole my iphone and the person who stole it shut it down how can I get it back with out them selling it or jailbreaking it or hackactivate it?

    Please help me I need it

    You cannot track the phone if it is off. Hopefully you had find my iPhone on and a passcode. The phone will be useless to whomever stole it when he/she tries to erase it and activate it.
    Call the police and change your passwords.
