That's so sad. I live near farms so the next police station is in another town lol! You would think Apple would have a phone rescue program with all this money (they get from us) and technology-instead of the old find my phone. ok. thank you Katana. I will just leave it on the wifi in case the owner looks for it, then i will toss it if nothing for a week. Have a wonderful weekend!!
