What can I do if my iPhone was stolen?
I had a device recently stolen and it’s not fair how a thief can steal something from someone and get cash for it

Read this support article about what to do if a iPhone or iPad is lost or stolen -->
Find your lost iPhone or iPad - Apple Support
- The Find My service described in the article is the only recovery feature Apple offers. It must be set up before the device is lost.
- Note that if you remotely erase your device as instructed in this article, if you subsequently remove it from your account as in this article --> Check your Apple Account device list to find where you’re signed in - Apple Support , then according to this article --> How to remove Activation Lock - Apple Support you remove activation lock from the device. Do not remove it from your account. If you do then a finder or thief will have an unlocked device that can be used by another person.
As fora thief getting cash for it, it depends upon the security features you elected to us and how unwary any purchaser is.
