View attachment 829756 Hi guys,

My car was broken into and multiple items stolen including my iPhone. I enabled lost mode and a week later the person turned it on and lost mode activated although they somehow disabled find my iPhone straight after.

When I go in to see where lost mode was acitiavted the phone no longer shows so I can’t click on it and see last known location. Any way of seeing old items history?

isnt it likely that sometime after you turned on Lost Mode, they wiped the phone? this would turn off Find My Phone on the device.
but, even if they wiped the phone, they can't actually activate it in a new state, because they don't have your iCloud password.
i havent ever had the same misfortune as you, so i dont actually know if the above is correct.
 

now i see it

Unless they return the phone to you, it's gone forever. But at least it can't be used by anyone else.

Leaving an iPhone in a car????
