Yeah when somebody broke into my truck and stole my purse a business owner called me a few days later to verify that I had really written a $400 check to one of her customers. The guy was trying to cash a check and she'd known him for a few years and was suspicious.
So we got his name, address, etc. literally everything from that incident.
But it didn't do any good.
Loophole was (according to the police, which didn't seem all that interested anyway) that just because he had my belongings didn't mean he was the guy that broke into the car. "He could have just found my stuff" and so it was just check fraud.
Sorry. Hope you have better luck and most importantly hopefully this will never happen again to your family.

Ya cops prob to busy eating donuts and giving out speeding tickets while someone is getting robbed. J/k Chad. Took police 3 months to catch the Guy that broke into my house. Just takes time.

That bites. But you should have left the phone on and tracked it. My wife misplaced her phone at the movies and after the movie we went to the service center and asked if somebody had returned it and nobody had. That night I tracked the cell phone to the movie theater and the next day it tracked to a house in a gated community on Prue Rd. I called the police and they met me at the gas station on Bandera & Prue and they escorted me to the house. The look on the kids face when I asked him for the phone with the police next to me was PRICELESS....
^^ lol^^
And today my brother in law parked down the street as his dad closed up... Noticed a couple of young guys park behind his dads truck then one got off to use the cell phone as the other waited. He paced around the back of the truck and then looked towards my brother in laws car, might have stood out as he drives a lexus. Well he got back in the car and they drove off....
I might go tomorrow..
Apple is about as bad as it gets for stolen property. They absolutely DO NOT CARE. They have the ability to track (when people log into iTunes), but they refuse to do so. "It's a police matter".
What I LOVE about GadgetTrak for Android is that the thief can NOT turn it off. Once it is activated, they are toast. Pretty funny. Due to Apple's proprietary OS, the product doesn't work as well as on Android.

I'm sorry to hear about this Tony. My father owns a couple of cell phone store up in GA so I can understand your concern. Here is one thought though. You should be able to track the phone, especially an iPhone. Every phone comes with a certain code number built in to the phone. Of course the phone companies don't like to let everyone know this because you can make it to where they can shut the phone off for good and it becomes a paper weight. But I know that they can definitely track the device as long as it is turned on. And if this ******* is making calls on it, should be a pretty easy ordeal to at least help find them. Just a thought. Either way, I am a firm believer in what comes around goes around. You just hope you can be there giving them their go around. Best of luck to you bro.
