Sep 14, 2012 1:20 PM in response to KEMEI LINby Limnos,Apple - iPhone 4S - Locate your missing iPhone with Find My iPhone - http://www.apple.com/iphone/built-in-apps/find-my-iphone.html and: iCloud: Find My iPhone overview - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2696
Note that these features require you have the "Find My" activated before you lose the device, the device be turned on and able to connect to a registered wifi connection (iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch) or data network (iPhone, iPad), and not having been restored by a finder of the device (if it was really stolen then the thief has probably restored it). If you have activated the "Find My" feature, go to https://www.icloud.com or use the Find My iPhone app - http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/find-my-iphone/id376101648?mt=8
Setting up iCloud (requires iOS5) - http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/ios.html - includes activating the 'Find My' feature.
Frankly in the case of a stolen phone this almost never works. Report it to the police. Change passwords on accounts. Tell your carrier to stop service. Go shopping for a new phone.

What would you do if anything you own were stolen?
Report it to the police.
Change your passwords as well.
