Her car broke down and couldn't start that morning according to her and I travelled.
It was a big mistake on her side for taking such decision.
That's not the issue now, I just asked if there could be a way to recover it?

You shouldn't have bothered replying those lots, very brainless individuals. Most of them saying this, never marry, no get iPhone or car. Hope you find your wife's phone.

Tpave:
I just bought the phone for just 2 weeks ago. She entered bus in the morning about 6am and she was dispossessed of the phone on gun point around Mayfair garden, awoyaya area in Lekki.
Pls any idea of how I can track down the phone?

shit happens, unfortunately there's nothing u can do as u didn't install a tracker on the device. Just buy her another one

DeHorus:
The Police will do nothing, bro.

But what else can OP do? At least it will make them sit up and be aware that such is happening under their watch.

Jeffrey12:
No point trying to track it. You can only track the iPhone if there’s an internet connection in it which i am sure the thief must have put off the phone. Those people stealing iPhones are not actually planning to use it, because there’s iCloud in it and it cannot be bypassed(most especially from iPhone 11 and later). What they do is sell the parts.

You make too much sense.
They do sell to he parts

Strika22:

If you have the receipt with the IMEI written on it. You could take it to the police station for it to be tracked, it might take a while though. But, if the iPhone has been updated to iOS 15 recently, you can use “find my iPhone” app and Login the iCloud details, it will show you the location of the phone even if it’s switched off, so far she wasn’t made to logout her details before snatching it.

Well detailed info. The op should follow this advice...

BRATISLAVA:


If that is the case people should avoid moving at suspicious places at that time. They are odd hours for that reason.

I'm not saying people shouldn't move, but there are times these evil people are on the move too.

How do you avoid moving at suspicious places? People have been robbed in traffic in daylight on their way home from work. Traffic! With loads of people around o! Is that "suspicious" place? And would moving at rush hour be a wrong time to move?

Let's focus on the insecurity and not "odd hours". In Lagos you see police at various points of the 3rd mainland bridge during the morning rush hour. I'm talking 7am to 9am. You know why? Because people get robbed on that bridge. Is that too suspicious location at "odd" hours?

cmecproblem:
That money could have been gathered to buy her a car first then the phone later.

wait I don’t understand, so robbers don’t steal from private car owners ??

Damnnn niggar

Look at the comments above.....damnnn.

So someone can not have iPhone 11 and still enter public transport...

What is damnnn wrong with Nigerians and thier way of reasoning

Why? Because in the western countries, they see iphone as normal but in nigeria, is for people with class.. so you dont expect to see Donald JTrump in a public transport.

My friend you are married to a dumbo... And she's going to raise your kids... If i were you i'd be worried


IPhone 11 owner jumping bus in this troubling time whatever happened to uber/bolt.

U don’t stay around their d traffic their can be mad at times and moreover is it a big deal taking public transport by iPhone 11 owner. I’ve seen a situation where a car owner was robbed in traffic so d issue is not about public transport.

Your story sef no even rhythm...
You bought iPhone 11 and you dey enter molue.....

First things first- Awoyaya is not lekki, hec it’s not even Ajah,
2- if the phone is icloud lock, there is literally nothing much for the thief to do but sell as scrab
3. Does it have find my iPhone turned on?- if yes, your guess is as good as mine- you can track the mofo

simple because many think having an iphome is luxury when it just a phone ... Nigeria economy need to improve too because some of them, their annual take home is not up to 700k naira everything is luxury to them and waste of resources or better as they will say vanity

How is it a misplaced priority? She should stay at home and not go to work? Nigga dont let me say whats on my mind to you.

I swear. Stupidity. Not even uber. People always living above their means.... Tueh

May God deliver you from poverty mentality

Yes.

Tpave:
Yes

Any individual promising you that he will track your phone with its IMEI number, just know that the person want to scam u.
No independent individual can do dat for you.
There is a process needed to do this.
Some security departments have to be contacted
So, the process is tedious kind of and some pieces of evidence will be required to carry that final option decision.
So be careful.

AdemolaA2:



It’s actually called Ibeju lekki and that place is actually known to be the ancient lekki . They are the real owner of the name called lekki .

Okay. When is your next history class? Save that for your students. Now in modern time, is awoyaya lekki? That is the question...not history

True.... But I'm sure you'd agree it happens mostly in buses and along taxis.. Yeah?

This is pretty much the dumbest shht post I’d see all day!

What kind of mentality is this?

If not that naira is shht?
How much is iPhone, go to UK Dubai etc and see Janitors taking train and other public transport and still use iPhone 12!

If dem say na shithole una dey stay , some of you will start foaming at the mouth.

If not a shithole where do people make excuses for criminality? They are not asking why criminals have become so bold instead they are asking why someone will get on a bus with a phone.

Another shht take.
You don’t condition people to think how you do!

Dont bother with these people. Their thinking is in reverse

So people with iPhone 11 no de enter bus again? Na wah to una reasoning

BRATISLAVA:
Find my iPhone.

Some weeks ago we were all intimated on how dangerous Lagos is at that time. Yet you people still want to move at odd hours?

She should go to the police and make a complaint.

Shey she no go go work ni? Instead blame the oloriburukus that have chosen to live a life of crime due to laziness.
The annoying thing is that the phone is virtually useless without the password...

Ask Apple

Actually you should be more worried about yourself. And to think you will be heading a family with this mindset.

i think there should b a curfew.
no movement till after 6am.


n also wen dey catch robbers.

just burn them n move on.

the few they are the better

You don't need to explain your self to idiots.. Leaving your residence at 6am is the only way to get to work on time for several people in Lagos.. it's a pity we are stuck between pharoah and the deep blue sea in this country.
Use the "find my app" on another Apple device.. you just might be lucky. Criminals sometimes make mistakes.. buts it's a slim shot.. I wish you and your family well

CheerfulGiver:
Awoyaya is not lekki. Iyana ipaja is better than Awoyaya.

Bitter truth they don't want to admit....
