Last night whilst out in Birmingham I had my mobile phone stolen. I was in a club and had quite a lot to drink although I wasn't legless and would have noticed/heard my phone drop to the floor as it's a hefty iPhone 4S.

I'm usually really hot on constantly checking my pockets as I get paranoid and it must have happened within seconds. One moment there, next gone!
I feel so angry at myself for letting it happen yet I cant remember anyone even being close enough to do it. I didn't even meet/talk to anyone new.

Worst thing is, my new phone isn't covered under my bank mobile insurance as I havent re-registered it and isn't covered under my home insurance personal items (which I find hard to believe and should know better... I WORK in insurance)

I'm guessing there's no point even bothering contacting the police for a crime ref now?

I feel completely lost without my phone I had everything on it!

Contact your mobile phone operator. They can lock it and also receive a tracking signal when the person tries to get it be-barred.

Already done. At 3am last night

No point contacting the police as you've not actually been a victim of crime, you've lost your phone...

Did you have the find my iphone installed/set up?

I was thinking that too. Hope I never need to use it on mine!

Find my iphone would be my first checkpoint. Also, as it's an iphone, you should be able to recover anything you put on it up to the latest sync...
Nasty for you Matt, hope you get it back or manage to replace it without too much pain.

Hope you weren't singing where's me phone where's me keys

I dont have find my iPhone set up as I dont like people to know where I am (not that I do anything wrong)

I had shorts on with zips and I'm 99% sure I had done the zip up although if it had fallen on the floor which was wooden pretty sure i'd have heard it.

Turns out I'm not insured for it and its not covered under my home insurance for personal items. Its excluded!! Pretty annoyed as I've just shelled out for a Samsung Galaxy yet I have 18 months left on my iPhone

Hopefully I can upgrade come iPhone 5 (if it ever arrives)

Clubbing with shorts on? I must be getting old!

feel for you mate

i got robbed 2 times in 3 days on my stag in puerto benus.

shoulder surfed and cards stollen, 300 euros taken and not covered by bank as they siad i was not secure with my pin

and

villa door kicked in and phone, psp camera, 100 euros and loads more taken.

feels rubbish doesnt it

I thought the whole point is only you can access it unless you give permission for others to see your location?

No one can see where you are with find my iPhone unless you give them your iTunes account login. It's a pretty useful thing to have. Send the phone a message, lock it or wipe it. Def set it up if you get another one/get it back!

have you phoned your phone?

or send a text saying if found contact xxx.

Yes, I did the normal phone my phone, someone picked up but said nothing and background noise wasn't the same to where we were. Also apparently a lot of phones got stolen that night so they must've been out in force.
I rang my provider and blocked it there and then. Turns out it's excluded from my home insurance and not covered under my bank insurance as i've not had the phone long and haven't updated it yet.

iPhone 4S down the drain pretty much So, I have to buy an android phone which I hate with a passion although it's the cheapest yet closet to an iPhone I can get/afford. I cant even work out how to get the internet working ?!?!

I miss my iPhone desperatly and to say the least i'm absolutly gutted
