STOLEN! Yes its been stolen!!

[bigmac]

Not to rant and rave, but its gone! I was curious to know, if someone picks up my phone, swaps out the sim, can they use it? I did have the lock enabled, so I am hoping that helps... Im now out $400 until my AMEX insurance kicks in...

Oh no! Sorry to hear about the theft. Where was it taken from? I'm not sure if they would be able to use the phone without an unlock being done on it first, but I could be wrong.

You can try asking to block your AT&T contract..

i was concerned about my iphone getting stolen, so i set up a cron job that runs a script every 10 mins & hits a webserver that i control. so if anyone ever steals my iphone, i'll be able to track them down. ;-)

Hah! This is absolutely great. I love tracking things!

Check this out:

(Nevermind, it doesn't work here)

Anyway, that's a pretty damn cool thing. Your own lojack!

Sorry this happened to you.

Does anyone know if you can remove the sim card, and reactivate?
