I bought a brand new iPhone XR (I was very happy with the X model, but I wanted to try this one). I was like: 'I need a new phone, I want one NOW' -) I've got all kind of data on it, and I control everything from my phone, doors, lights, and even the sprinkles from the garden. Since I had an iCloud account active, and Find my iPhone and Activation Lock on duty, I knew my data was protected. I've also got iCloud backup on, so all my data is on the cloud.

I use a 15 digits alphanumeric password (I’m a weirdo, I know.) -thanks Apple for Touch ID and Face ID-, and of course, I always have two factor authentication on. I was sure that I hadn't lost it, so, what was the point on putting a number. I enabled the option “Lost Mode” from the app, and even added my girlfriend's phone number so that if somebody found it, He/she could dial that number (from another phone) and try to reach me and give me my phone back, just in case. If they had turned it off that fast, they knew what they were doing. I accepted the reality, my loved iPhone X was gone. So, after a few minutes in shock, asking myself all kinds of questions such as how could that have happened to me. Out of luck, the iPhone was already off, they had already shut it down so that it couldn't be traced. I checked Find my iPhone app with my girlfriend's iPhone to check for the location of the phone, and made it play a sound, to be able to locate it. Īt the beginning I thought I had dropped it on the floor, but after a couple of minutes I realized that was not the case. I was having a nice breakfast with my girlfriend and someone took it from my jacket.
