Update!
The iPhone is in my possession and working. The scumbag had already removed the sim card and restored the iPhone to factory settings, so any pretense of "I didn't realize it wasn't mine when the lady gave it to me and meant to return it tomorrow to the airport" isn't going to work.
The cop still hasn't actually talked to the suspect in question. Looks like the guy was renting. The owner of the townhouse gave the cop the iPhone. The police say they're still planning on questioning him. Apparently any theft over $200 in Virginia counts as Grand Larceny. Who knew? The police say if they decide to press charges, if convicted the guy'll may pay a couple thousand in fines and court fees.
In any ways, happy to get the phone back. Unfortunately, my pair of ATH-Ck10 earbuds are no where to be found, but I'm willing to accept that as the price of my foolish negligence. |

Glad to hear! This is like.. one of the first times I've heard of find-my-applething successfully tracking down something stolen.
A coworker left his phone in another building on airplane mode, and the triangulation from wifi alone was enough for him to know what room it was in. Pretty crazy stuff. |

Glad you got your phone back. So the police just called the owner of the townhouse who then got in there with a general key and removed the iPhone from there without ever talking to the rentee? Did he or police leave a note behind?

Good read! Glad to see everything turned out good for you in the end, and hopefully the culprit learns his lesson after all of this.
This will make a great story to tell in the future lol. |
