Did you equip it with a bomb? If not just track it and then hire a bounty hunter to attack them back.

honestly right now i wish i could have done that

sorry to hear about that Alex, just being quite concerned with the data on your phone you didn't put a lock (pin system/facial recognition/password/etc) on the phone. Glad to hear you're still breathing...

Please become a member of the Linus Tech Tips forum, keep writing smug remarks & let us love you. Peace out.

There's really nothing you can do when it comes to Android phones, unless you were rooted and had it set up for this situation

Don't delete it, or else you can't track it. Call your provider and tell them the sim got stolen. Sometimes they can track it.

Do this.

 

You must bust them. Track them down and make their life a living hell. (with the help of police of course)

 

Also what kind of phone was it?

I had that on my Nexus and I forgot itt. So I installed a new sim card and the freaking alarm went off and called all my emergency contacts. :D

This is why i keep my shitty old phone, instead of buying one of the new Androids, or an iPhone, no bugger would bother stealing it.

 

That, and i can't afford one of the new smartphones.

In Canada if you report the phone stolen your carrier will make the IMEI blacklisted therefore the phone is useless.

The carrier will likely not track it. They will just blacklist it so that the person who stole it can't use it as a phone anymore (SIM card reader rendered useless until returned and unblacklisted). Tracking is what services like Android Device Manager and Find my iPhone are for

I just asked a guy who works as a cop. He said that (in Germany) they can track a phone with a 2km accuracy, depending on the location. But it is complicate to make them do that. 

 

What kind of phone is it anyway?

The thing is that he factory reset the phone, which unlinks it from your Google account. The phone is only trackable over ADM when signed in to your own Google account

thanks for the suggestions, already called my carrier so they can disconnect the line, they could have also bricked it, if i bought directly from them but since is unlocked, they want the box in order to do that, also it was a freaking moto g that i saved my money for which is why i'm freaking pissed, my data is not much of a problem now that i have at least manage to factory reset it, and i dont have nothin that much of importance stored locally, also if these shits don't manage to sell it before monday they will definitely have a freaking brick of plastic
