Q: Some questions for stolen iphone

Hello!
My phone (iphone 6s) was stolen few weeks ago, I deactivated the sim card, put the phone in lost mode (sadly its still pending). Reported it in the local law enforcement, called the official Apple service center in my country and they put it into some Apple blacklist. I checked on few sites in interned my phone status via IMAI and serial number it says Activation lock is ON and  its blacklisted. Sadly the option Find my phone wasnt activated and im not able to track my phone until its turned on and connected to wifi or mobile network. So i have few questions about that:


1- Is there any way this passcode or finger print to be bypassed, somehow icloud to be deleted or phone restored  ?

2- Does apple track or keep an eye on... i mean what Apple do when when one phone is blacklisted?

3- And when the phone is blacklisted, activation  lock is on, theres a passcode and finger print - this phone is not usable from anyone else but me. Then how its possible someone to use it and conects it to wi-fi when the phone is completely blocked?

4 and final question - Is there any hope after 1 month of missing (being offline) this phone to be found and not bein disassembled for parts? Whats the percentage of returned iphones in general ?

 

Excuse my bad English.

    1.  Not if you had Find My iPhone enabled.

    2.  No.  Apple does not assist in lost or stolen devices, nor do they have any kind of blacklist.

    3.  With Activation Lock, nobody but original owner whose iCloud credentials are configred on the the phone can use the device.

    4.  Of course it's possible, but how would anybody be able to put a percentage on it?

    Hi. This is user to user forum. None here knows the exact statistics. If you lock you'd device with iCloud and report your device as stolen it becomes useless for future user. There is no way to bypass the activation lock. Only you may use it as you know your iCloud password and mail.

    Sadly, my Find my phone wasnt enabled and LOST MODE is pending.. So theres a way this phone to be factory reset?

    Well, the guy from the office wanted a copy of the police report and he says the phone is putted in some kind of blacklist and the other lady says theres like 90%  of returning phones likes this but it is doubtful..
