Someone has stolen my phone. Find my phone is disabled

Is there some way Apple can locate my phone if the Find My Phone is disabled?

Apple Cannot Find It. So...

How do you know it was stollen, and not just found by someone?

Getting this Back:

  • Backtrack your Locations - If at a coffee shop, stop in, and ask it if was placed aside.


  • Text it - Ask whomever has it to email you with a particular Title in it. Then have them call you.


  • Check with Local Authorities - Perhaps it was found and was turned in.
