My iPhone was stolen on January 9th at about 16:00 Moscow time. I tried to call the phone number, but the thief turned off the phone. The iPhone is not displayed in the Locator, but why, what should I do?
iPhone 17 Pro, iOS 26

If the issue is not just that there is no location, but that your phone is not in your list of devices at all, that would suggest one of two things:
In either case, there would now be no way of setting Lost Mode, tracking the phone via Find My, or turning that feature on (under your Apple ID). While carriers theoretically can track via IMEI, they are unlikely to do so in the case of a lost or stolen phone - IMEI tracking is more for things like missing persons situations where the police have a court order.
You can ask your carrier to blacklist the phone so that it will never again receive cellular service from any carrier who honors the blacklist. But that phone is gone and is never coming back.

Report it to the police and your wireless carrier. All of the other options require using Find My.

It’s seems you didn’t activated send last location, In find my iPhone.lock your phone and leave a message with a friend or family member phone number… Anyway if you know the location where your phone was stolen, and you know the time… check for surveillance cameras in the surrounding area, i hope it will lead you to trace that person with police department … and I suggest you if you can notify all mobile stores in your area and provide them with the phone IMEI number … do not send photo for IMEI … just dictate. I hope you will get back what you lost.🙏
Hello~ Was Find My activated before the theft? Did you receive any messages to which you responded saying that your iPhone had been found to which you replied and gave out your credentials? Thieves are very sophisticated these days. Your iPhone is likely in a faraday device headed for parts unknown.
