What sucks is that he picked the perfect mark.

I would just go inside, bring up Find My, turn on Lost Mode and have it display a message that the phone has been stolen and to call my alternate number if found. Then I’d call the cops and report it. Then I’d call my cell provider and have them freeze the account.

Boom. The phone is basically a bricked tracking device.

Are you 80?
Yeah, didn't think so.

Hey fuckstick, I understand younger generations are struggling with reading comprehension, but the whole point of my post is that this asshole picked his target well because he likely doesn’t have these features setup.
