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 Fort Collins / North CO 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 Fort Collins / North CO — a crime reference number is often required for insurance claims.
  6. Post a listing. Add a lost-phone listing for Fort Collins / North CO 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 remote controls in Fort Collins, CO

Lost remote controls around 6:30 p.m. last Friday, wandering between City Park and Old Town Fort Collins, near the CSU campus area. I had just finished dinner and settled in to unwind when I realized the remotes were missing from the living room. They are two black remotes, one with a peeling blue sticker and a scratched silver one. I retraced my steps along College Avenue toward the library, hoping someone picked them up. The momentary frustration is real, but I keep hoping they turn up. If you found them, they’re mine and I’m hoping for their safe return through this listing.

Black iPhone 13 Pro in lime-green case

Yesterday around 3pm I lost my black iPhone 13 Pro. It was in a lime-green Spigen case, with a small dent on the bottom-left edge and a blue circular pineapple sticker on the back. I had just left the Old Town Library area, walking along College Ave toward Laurel Street near the Poudre River when I realized it was gone. The phone has sentimental photos and a few work notes; it really means a lot to me. If you found it, I’d be grateful to get it back.

Black Sony Handycam HDR-CX405 with strap

I lost my black Sony Handycam HDR-CX405 camcorder yesterday around 3pm outside the Lincoln Center in Old Town Fort Collins. It’s about the size of a small paperback, with a slightly scuffed screen and a textured grip. It lives in a black zippered case, and inside I tucked a blue microfiber cloth and the charger; there’s a red wrist strap attached to the camera. On the battery door there’s a small rocket sticker I put there to help me identify it. This camcorder is part of my student film project and holds sentimental value, so I’d really appreciate it getting back to me.

Red handheld audio recorder with black protective case

I was wrapping up a quick podcast edit when I realized my red handheld audio recorder in a black protective case — an Audio & Video Equipment item — was missing. I had it yesterday around 3pm near the CSU Library on Meridian Avenue in Fort Collins. It’s a compact recorder with a red silicone bumper, a small green CSU sticker on the case, and my initials 'PK' on a white label inside the lid. There’s a faint dent on the top edge from a minor drop last week. The recorder is essential for my class project and means a lot to me—really hoping someone honest picked it up and can return it. If you found it, email me at [email protected] and we can work out a pickup near Old Town.

Lost black Bluetooth headphones near the basketball courts on Colorado State University campus in Fort Collins.

I lost my black Bluetooth headphones while walking around the Colorado State University campus in Fort Collins. I think I might have dropped them by the basketball courts after my class on Thursday afternoon. They are quite important to me as they were a gift, so I would really like to have them back if anyone happens to find them.
