Stolen iPhone – Find My iPhone Review

I was in a michaels store near my house at Christmas, standing in line to pay I had just used my phone to look for coupons... I put it back in my purse which was in my cart. It stood up out of the side pocket a quite bit.. I didn’t realize it til the next morning that I was missing it . I searched for it on the app and found it across town at a residential location, address and all. The police in my area were more than happy to meet me there, I waited in the car as they knocked on the door, a young woman answered they asked if she had a cell phone that wasn’t hers, she said she was going to take it to her local Verizon store that day and turn it in, just hadn’t gotten to it. She handed it over to them and they brought it to me stating this doesn’t usually turn out this way. They didn’t perceive it as foul play... however I know that I had put it in the side pocket of my purse and it had been taken from there. When I received my phone back there was a recent message with a number I did not recognize. The message came at least 4 hours after I had sent out a message through the app stating this phone has been stolen. So I called the number and asked who it was and finally got that she had had my phone. Once we got to that point she started sounding a bit sketchy, she began telling me she found it on a shelf somewhere in the store... didn’t remember where. I asked why she didn’t just turn it in at the register, she said she didn’t have time. I am sure I would not have retrieved my phone had I not had this app❣️
