What to Do If Your Phone Is Stolen — Step by Step

H howtolive.guide ·

Act fast — the first hour matters most. Step 1: From any device, remotely lock and wipe your phone via Find My iPhone or Google Find My Device. Step 2: Change passwords for your email and banking apps immediately. Step 3: Call your carrier to block the SIM card. Step 4: File a police report with the phone's IMEI number (found on the original box or in your account settings). Don't try to track down and confront the thief yourself — that's how theft turns into assault. Let law enforcement handle recovery.

The point
Lock, wipe, change passwords, block SIM, file a report — and never try to confront the thief yourself.
