Hi, my iPhone 15 Pro Max was stolen last weekend in Cleveland, OH, USA, and despite erasing the phone info, etc, I can still track it on FindMy and it appears the phone is on the other side of town with it apparently being inside of a car. With the fact I can still track the iPhone, prove it’s mine and can still see where it is, should I aleast try and call the police to try and get it back before going through all the other AppleCare hassle? I will note it is on a very bad side of the city, so I wouldn’t go over there unless I had police with me. I paid it off in-full too.
Ignore the foolish comments. Step one in your situation, since you can track it on Find My, is to call the police and work with them to track it down and recover it. If that fails, AppleCare+ and report it as theft/stolen.
