Wife left car open to run into work quick. Stolen from her car were

Green iPhone 11. It’s now locked and will prompt to contact if found
Car keys for Dodge Journey in a green pouch case
Green Jansport backpack with kids PEI lifeguard hoodie and Roots sweatpants and school forms



Phone was found by good samaritan near where car was broken into. Wife will go look around that area for the keys.

Sorry to hear man. I mean chances are that most of that stuff is in a dumpster somewhere. Can you get your car re keyed, was there any kind of address information on those forms?


Is the reward for dead or alive?

Someone has a favourite colour!

These items are gone. Factory wipe your phone, label it as stolen with apple. File a police report, call your dealership and/or an auto locksmith and move on.

I’ve done all that, very much considering these long gone but doesn’t hurt to put a notice out there all the same

I saw your add on Kijiji. Keep an eye there otherwise as stolen cells often show up within the first few days. They are also typically sold well below value to get rid of them quick, but not always.

If you do see what you believe to be your phone, call police. Don’t meet the individual yourself. If you do (or if you’re ever doing a Kijiji transaction otherwise), meet in a very public highly populated place. Also, be realistic on what you feel is your phone as well. Yours is green and the newest model so is more unique than the typical Black or white or whatever. But generally speaking, every ‘older model’ iPhone wherein you have no serial # or aren’t sure of the model etc can’t be reviewed or considered yours.

If you have a find my phone app and you get a good location where the phone is remaining and not moving, call us there as well. By good location, this would mean a single family dwelling or pointing between two houses making it obvious it’s one of the two or something to this effect. If it’s giving a ping on Stephen Ave at noon, or somewhere inside Chinook Mall, or to a 36 unit apartment complex, this is not something that can be addressed. It can be very frustrating to know your phone is in a general area like this, however, there’s no means upon which to narrow down a suspect in such environments, so don’t obsess over the find my phone app as it can be both a blessing and a curse.

Also checking Calgary transit as there’s a bus stop right outside where it was stolen. Maybe they left the stuff on the bus

So the thief just dumped the phone nearby? Is security that good these days that thieves just don't bother?

Crimes of opportunity don't usually have vast networks of phone crackers and identity thieves behind them.

if you have a lock on your phone that's good enough to defeat 95%+ would be thieves.
