Use Find My iPhone on an iOS device or go to www.icloud.com/find on a Mac or PC to take additional actions.



Is there anything we can do to find out how to get her phone back?

If the message has been displayed it means the phone hasn't been wiped yet so you should be able to track it.

It has location services turned off. but I was able to send a message that asked the person who has it to please email me.

I am not sure if i should remote lock it or wipe it out remotely? Any thoughts?

Just to be safe I would def remote wipe it

Once you remote wipe it, you can't do anything else to find the phone. I would send another message with the email, then put a remote lock on (4 didget code). If you don't hear anything in a day, I would then call it a loss and remote wipe.

I wouldn't even bother to send it another message. They will know your still looking for it. I would just remote wipe it now before they get a hold of their personal information

I want to give the guy the benefit of the doubt. Possibly he purchased it off eBay or something like that. It's too. Bad you can't track it with the serial number. I sent him a message that says call me or email me or I will have the police track him down

I'm sorry man. The world is full of dicks. The iPhone is gone. Maybe if you add "There is a reward" or something.. He/she might consider it.
