Stolen iPhone

[PiedPiper]

I recently gave my old iPhone 2 to my daughter, having put it back to factory settings. Today it was stolen during a break in.

I'd love to get it locked forever so that the scumbag thief gets nothing. BUT I don't have a record of the IMEI number and there was no sim card in it. I don't have the original packaging either. The only thing I know is what the phone number had been up until iPhone5 launch day.

I can't see that I can do anything, but just thought I'd ask here just in case.

Any thoughts

Lets hope your daughter does not encounter any problems with her not being the registered owner of the phone in a O2 shop. I suspect they may refuse though.

Hadn't thought of that. So to save her a wasted journey I've done it myself over O2 livechat. Took about an hour, but got there in the end.

I for one have had great sucess from findmyiphone. Got stolen from the office at a nightclub I was working at whilst I was sorting out a fight.

40minutes later I have a terrified apology from a young guy and the bouncers working for me were £10 richer each
