Unless your phone was not protected with a passcode, it would be impossible for anyone to remove your Apple ID from your phone.......unless.....you were tricked or scammed into providing that information


If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch is lost or stolen - Apple Support


If you purchased AppleCare + with Theft and Loss Coverage, you would file a claim with Apple Support.


File a claim if you have AppleCare+ with Theft and Loss coverage - Apple Support


If you purchased insurance from another company, you would need to contact their claims department.

B. Verify Your Devices:

Verify that your the devices logged in to your account or officially yours, by using this link: Check your Apple ID Device List to See where you're Signed in - Apple Support


C. Consider Modifying your Credentials:

By all means, consider modifying your credentials, starting with a new password.
