my iphone 5s was stolen?

Dear Iphone helpdesk


This is to let you know that my Iphone-5S has been suddenly steeled from me, and really want to know if there is a way to find out a serial no of my phone.

The phone has so many important contact nos and other documents, and if possible I need to alert the Police to track the phone and it is location.


Your quick support is highly appreciated.


Regards

iPhone 5s, iOS 8.4, losted

If you activated Find My Phone before it was lost or stolen, you can track it only if it is connected to the Internet by Wi-Fi or cellular. What you cannot do is track your device using a serial number or other identifying number. You cannot expect Apple or anyone else to find your device for you. You cannot recover your loss unless you insure your device for such loss. It is not covered by your warranty.

The phone has so many important contact nos and other documents, and if possible I need to alert the Police to track the phone and it is location. You can contact the police and report the theft to them. You can get your serial number via iTunes if necessary. The Police will not track your device.

If you activated Find My iPhone prior to the theft, you can log into www.icloud.com and track your device if it is powered on and connected to the internet. Only you can track your device, Apple does not track stolen devices.
