What to do if your Android phone is stolen
Call your mobile
Even if you are convinced that your mobile has been stolen, maybe you just forgot and it has ended up in the hands of someone with good intentions (it may be your lucky day, that a good person has it). Therefore, making a call to your smartphone, to see if that possibility exists, is the first step you can take.
Locate and track your smartphone
When the time comes when we know that whoever has taken or stolen it does not have good intentions with our phone, there are tools such as Device Manager that allow you know where your android phone is, so that you can make an attempt to retrieve it or at less block it. Of course, it is recommended that even if you try to negotiate with the thief, so that he can return it to you it can be effective, you do not get into a dangerous situation of meeting someone you do not know and less without knowing that he could be aggressive.
Lock the terminal
If you have not been able to block it with Device Manager, by calling your company, you can ask to be blocked for the thief cannot make calls or surf the Internet at your expense It is true that this solution is not entirely foolproof, because there is a way to change the lock code and use an android mobile that has been locked again, but we have to try to make it as difficult as possible for the thieves.
file a complaint
Another step you should take if your smartphone has been stolen is to go to the nearest police station and make a complaint. We are not going to lie to you, it is unlikely that the police will be able to recover your phone, but there are times when it is, and only if you had reported it stolen, will you be able to recover it later. And if you want claim the theft to your insurance You will also have to file the complaint, so it is the step prior to claiming the insurance.
