@atomicpoet Is it a "lost cause" - according to them - because they don't have enough agents to go and fetch the thief, or don't consider such an event as something important?

A couple of years ago, I succeeded in getting my hands back on a $50 phone - that shouldn't have been a worry for anybody - just thanks to a friend who was connected with a private security company. They probably had "more time" for that than the State police...

@atomicpoet Sh*t. That sucks :/

@atomicpoet That totally sucks! I hope at least the data had a backup and wasn't lost

@atomicpoet Does insurance cover it?

So sorry, that's just crappy. If you could track it, it's too bad the cops couldn't take some time to follow up.

@atomicpoet
Assume everything is compromised.
I wouldn't call it an accident.

@atomicpoet story?

@atomicpoet
I haz a sympathy. :/

@atomicpoet So you have the location of your stolen goods, but what? Police can't be bothered to solve crimes anymore?

@atomicpoet
So sorry!! Hope you have home insurance but then they screw you for using it.

@atomicpoet fuuuuu

@atomicpoet
Sorry to hear that, Chris. Glad you could wipe it remotely.

@atomicpoet
Why can't the police go and get it?

@atomicpoet if you have been tracking it for hours it is not a lost cause.

@atomicpoet the police in this instance are the lost cause. I used to watch phones travel on Apple’s cloud and police then would meet the thief at their destination.

@atomicpoet Crap. Sorry you had to go through that.

@atomicpoet you were ** tracking the thief** and the police thought it was a lost cause? what the...

@atomicpoet Silver lining? You were able to wipe it.

@atomicpoet bummer.

@atomicpoet Oh sorry for that. Frustrating 😵‍💫

I had ipads taken last October (I know who took them) and this month I got email notifications that 2/3 passwords were changed. (They had no stored data, just an interface).
