Someone Stole my iPhone and I have the app Downloaded BUT I NEED HELP !!

So as I said , my iPhone 4s got stolen yesterday ! I'm in a big panic !

I have the app setup and everything , wich was actually pretty usefull.

So about 3 hours after my iPhone was stolen (it got stolen at school and the dude was from my school , he stole it while we were in class)

The guy turned off the phone when he stole it but he did turned it on at his house (wich is how I tracked him down)

Since then , I found where he lived , found information on where he lives and called him. Now he's claiming he doesn't have it while I clearly have proof

Problem now is he turned the phone off since yesterday. He cannot access my iPhone since its locked (pin to unlock), I reported my phone stolen to the cops and to my phone provider but now the problem is GETTING IT BACK !

I don't know how to get it back ! I don't want to go over his house and start a fight and argument and create a lot of problem ! What do you guys suggest me ? please help me, I called the police they told me something about 24h - 48h or till monday (72h) but I'm really scared that it get sold to someone or something like that !

yes but WalaafromLaval says: "if you are SO CONFIDENT THAT YOU DONT HAVE MY PHONE THEN LET ME COMPARE THE SERIAL NUMBERS."

So that means the thief will have to let him compare otherwise it is obvious that he stole it.

No, YOU said that, which is fortunate for WalaafromLaval, lest he be considered an idiot.

So that means the thief will have to let him compare otherwise it is obvious that he stole it.

The thief doesn't "have to" do anything. He denies having the phone and he certainly won't show it for any reason. He certainly won't be so stupid as to carry in around with him in school or public.

You have it backwards. If I did steal your iPod, you would never see me using it and if you continued to annoy me, I would break your jaw. Get it?

Not likely, since nothing in his post indicates that he's a blithering idiot.

As he said, I am not an blithering idiot... The phone got stolen , the kid sold the phone to his brother's friend.

Now I got witnesses that seen the guy having the phone on him and he even went and told everything with details to a friend of mine. I will end up taking him in court, but the guy formated the iPhone. I reported it as I said to the cops and my provider. Now The serial could only be usefull if the police has the phone or if its asked to prove its yours by serial (exemple the police asked the guy his serial number and looked at the phone at the same time or something like that)

Serial number or IMEI don't help tracking the phone. Only police can trace phones and they need a court permission to do so. Apple can but they don't trace any phones for any reasons because they're not legally allowed to. Now for the phone , it will take me a few more weeks of patients till it gets done in court.

Thanks anyways for both of you're replys
