My mom’s iPhone was stolen 3 weeks ago.

The thief took out the SIM card and turned off the phone so FindMy hasn’t updated. They haven’t turned it on since so the erase hasn’t happened either.

The thieves have been WhatsApping pretending to be Apple Support with a US number, but we obviously haven’t responded.

Is there any way to figure out and get back at these lowlifes?

Would really want to teach them a lesson. Have the resources to do it if I can just figure out some details about them.

Yes we are going to do this. Seems unlikely that we’ll be able to get it back

Was stolen around 8 hours ago

 

My mom’s iPhone got stolen while she was out shopping, Find My iPhone is enabled but we’re stuck because:

  1. She doesn’t remember her Apple ID

  2. The linked gmail address has 2FA

  3. Email does not have an alternative backup option enabled

What’s the best bet to try and find it?

 

Bought it for the 15PM. Reading up on how it’s an average case that is overpriced.

Was it a mistake to get this one? Do they have a return window?
