Just an update.

i've gotten back the phone the next day after posting on facebook about the incident with screenshots of the conversation with the thief and her profile photos. The post had gotten around 150 shares where a few people got into contact with us with details about the culprit.

We agreed to meet with her friend but not the thief herself and the former returned the phone on the thief's behalf (apparently the thief said she was too embarassed to meet up)

Well, all is well now!

How was she able upload selfies without knowing the pass key?

She managed to unlock the phone, but not the Apple ID. So she's unable to download new apps and such for now, she's able to use the phone in the most basic way I guess...or else she wouldn't be requesting for the password

Are you sure this is the thief and not another victim who may have bought it and found it does not operate?

She uploaded some selfies and it got into the phone's iCloud, that's when I knew I had to change the Apple ID etc to have her logged out automatically

Hi everyone,

Yes, as you would've guessed by the topic name, got an iPhone stolen last year during the period of Loi Khratong. 

Got it stolen a year ago, didn't report it to the police as we thought that it would be of no help anyway, thinking that it's hard to find the culprit with the crowd around us during the festival.

However, this thief has been messaging on Facebook periodically requesting for the Apple ID etc as we've managed to blocked the phone for usage by changing passwords etc.

I find the fact that a thief's asking for the password for the phone from someone she had actually stolen it from really amusing...

Do you think that reporting to the police now is of use at this stage? I mean I have her photos, details and such - this thief is really bold to use her real facebook account
