It just got stolen today about 5 hours ago. I was grocery shopping and left it at the self-check-out counter despite being so protective of my 2 months old Nexus4. When I went back to the store few minutes later, it was not there, nor in the Lost & Found. When I called my phone from the store?s customer service, the thief declined my call after 2 rings. I went home as fast as I could and changed all my passwords and called T-Mobile and they put my phone number on a Temporarily Suspension. I called the grocery store and the manager said, the store?s detective will be in tomorrow to review the footage, I had some suspicions I don?t want to talk about now.
I made a quick research and wanted to get the IMEI blocked as well. T-Mobile was not able to figure out IMEI blocking and suppose to call me back within 30 minutes, right. So I called Google and they said to call LG for the IMEI blocking. LG said to call T-Mobile. T-Mobile didn?t return their phone call back, so I have no clue what they did, if any.
I was advised the Police won?t do anything about it while there are other more serious crimes?
I wish I knew about Plan B APP before I got the phone temporarily suspended. I could have the phone locked up and possibly located while the thief had it still on. 1 hour later; my bad.
I also called my Credit card company and while I purchased the phone 2.5 months ago I will qualify for the 90 day replacement protection. I just have to wait till 8 AM for the appropriate person to file my claim.
A lesson learned here - will be installing PhoneLocator Pro or Cerberus anti theft or Android Lost when I get my new Nexus 4. I would love to get the white one that supposed to be sold in June 10th.
