You can't, Apple cannot help you locate them and if the pawn shop won't then you are out of luck. Besides which the person who sold it or pawned it may not have been the original owner. Recycle it responsibly.

Thanks everyone.
There’s not even this much security on the phones. Ridiculous keep it up and I might go to Samsung. Ha!

No. There is no way and you are not writing Apple. Apple is adamant about user security. Unless you are the original buyer and prove such, Apple will NEVER help you. There is just as much security on iPhone and iPad as well. As there should be.


As this is a user to user only forum, we honestly don't care if you go to Samsung. If you feel owning devices from another manufacturer who cares less about user security better meets your needs, go for it.
