How Do i Recover My Stolen Phone?? by Psalmy2cute(m): 4:04pm On Jan 17, 2020
So yesterday on my way to my farm.. I got robbed off my phone in a public transport vehicle,...

This have caused me a lot of inconvenience within just 24hours, contacts lost... works Im supposed too do on my farm had to be suspended...

I had to quickly block my bank account ..

Luckily for me I was able to track the cell phone via Samsung registerd acct.. and the thief is currently somewhere in Sango ota with my Samsung galaxy device..

So this morning I quickly went to the station to involve the police.. since I've called the number several times pleaded with the unfortunate person who happened to have the cell phone via sms... all my efforts seems abortive..

So now the police are calling it a phone theft case




I was asked to pay 20k for them to help me track the phone and the tracking proces was also explained to me.. I purchased the phone may 2018, price 270k

My question is has anyone been able to successfully recover his or her lost phone with the help of the police??
Is it worth the effort??

If the phone is registered in myAssetLookup App, you can go and update the status as "Stolen" - this will make it difficult for it to be sold as it will show up as stolen when searched. Also, if your phone is added as found lost asset, the app will send you notification that the app is found.

If you the IMEI (15 Digit) or Serial number you can still go and add it, and flag it as stolen.

myAssetLookup a global and multilingual app for asset registration, verification & ownership transfer aimed at mitigating against theft and loss of valuables e.g. phones, laptops, tablets, vehicles, TVs, motorcycles, generators, cameras etc.

This is the exact function of http://account.samsung.com which I used in locating the phone to Sango ota in Ogun state,.. but I was advice to unlock the phone by the police with my account on http://account.samsung.com since they believe if the thief finds easy access into the device... he will quickly insert hes simcard into the phone.. and that would increase the chances of the phone been found

just pay police the money,they will get the phone for you. They used to charge us 10k in the north but they will ultimately get ur phone back even though its take time small.

myAssetLookup does more, and it's not brand specific.

myAssetLookup is a global register for individual, businesses, and corporate organisations to register their assets with unique identifier number, with the aim to
• Mitigate against loss or theft of valuable property
• Increases the chance of recovery if missing
• Provides property ownership status to ensure you do NOT buy stolen or missing one
• Provides E-witness of ownership transfer between two members
• Combat crime in the society
• Combat cross border sales of stolen properties
• Help law enforcement agencies to reunite owners with their recovered property

No one will obviously buy a property the status is showing as "Stolen" or "Missing" when searched in https://portal.myAssetLookup.com
