Lost your phone? Step-by-step recovery

Carrier contacts, Find My / Find My Device, and the local steps to recover or secure a lost phone.

Losing your phone in Dallas / Fort Worth is stressful, but acting quickly improves your odds of getting it back and limits the damage if it's gone for good. Work through these steps in order.

  1. Locate it remotely. Use Find My (iPhone) or Find My Device (Android) from another phone or computer to see the phone on a map, play a sound, and mark it as lost. Lost Mode locks the device and shows a contact message on the screen.
  2. Lock and message it. If it's nearby, the sound may be enough. If it isn't, enable Lost Mode and add a phone number where you can be reached.
  3. Call your carrier. Report the phone lost so they can suspend service and block the IMEI. This stops anyone running up charges and flags the handset across networks.
  4. Change key passwords. Update your email, banking, and social passwords, especially if the phone wasn't locked. Sign the device out of those accounts where you can.
  5. Report it locally. File a report with the police non-emergency line for Dallas / Fort Worth — a crime reference number is often required for insurance claims.
  6. Post a listing. Add a lost-phone listing for Dallas / Fort Worth so anyone who finds it can reach you privately.

Keep checking the map periodically — a phone that's off may reappear when it's charged.

Lost Handheld and Console in Dallas

Friday night around 9:15 pm, I realized my Handheld and Console were missing after I left the food trucks by Klyde Warren Park and started walking toward the American Airlines Center. I think I last had it tucked in my backpack while I checked a photo near the Dallas Arts District, and I must have dropped it somewhere along the sidewalk by Victory Park. It's a black handheld console in a blue cover, and the screen glows when I tap the power button. I'm anxious and hopeful that a kind soul picked it up and will bring it back through the site.

Black Anker charging case for wireless earbuds

I lost my black Anker charging case for wireless earbuds yesterday around 3pm near the Winspear Opera House on Flora Street in the Dallas Arts District. It's matte black plastic, about the size of a credit card, with a small scratch on the top-right corner and the Anker logo still visible on the lid. Inside the lid there's a tiny sticker with my initials 'PK', in black sharpie, and the earbuds themselves weren't in the case when I realized it was missing. It was a gift from my sister, so it's really sentimental to me, and I really need it back. If someone found it, I'd truly appreciate it getting back to me.

Lost black Sony noise-canceling Bluetooth headphones with a small scratch on the left ear cup at the Starbucks in downtown Fort Worth.

I accidentally left my Sony noise-canceling Bluetooth headphones on a table at the Starbucks in downtown Fort Worth. I realized they were missing about an hour later while I was at home and rushed back, but they were gone. They are black with a small scratch on the left ear cup. I'm hoping someone found them and can return them to me.
