    In advance of being lost, was the activation on for Find My Phone? If stolen, did you report it

    to the authorities? Did you change other access related to the phone if you have security set

    so other finders of the phone could not use your account or your iPhone?

     

    There are some fairly reasonable processes and methods outlined in support article below:

     

    • iCloud - Find My iPhone, iPad, and Mac - Apple:

    https://www.apple.com/icloud/find-my-iphone.html

     

    Several options exist, including 'remote erase' if it comes to that; most possible items are in

    the above article. Your post(s) both lack a proper question stating the exact issue; so a reply

    is more difficult than usual. Perhaps another will reply and offer additional advice.

    Good luck in this matter!

    Addendum:

     

    • Set up Find My iPhone, iPad, and Mac - Apple Support

     

    • Find My iPhone Activation Lock - Apple Support

     

    • What to do before selling or giving away your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

     

    IF you found a lost iPhone belonging to another person and want to try to locate them

    that may be possible if they set up the phone before it was lost; there is a mode that

    should be already be set-up by the owner in case it is lost, which would allow a finder

    to be able to call the owner. In the earlier reply above some of this is covered.

     

    {Also, a second contributor's reply was lost due to it being a reply to the duplicate entry

    by the thread author; it contained a few good links that were helpful. But it's gone. Due

    to the time it takes for fellow users of these discussions to reply, impatience is not very

    useful; we who reply here aren't Apple. As fellow users of Apple products we volunteer.}

     

    Hopefully you were able to set up the iPhone in advance of its loss; so Find My iPhone

    was activated. Or if you found a lost iPhone, contact civil authorities because an owner

    may seek to ask them if one was turned in to them, by whoever found one.

     

    Good luck in this matter...
