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 Skagit / Island / SJI 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 Skagit / Island / SJI — a crime reference number is often required for insurance claims.
  6. Post a listing. Add a lost-phone listing for Skagit / Island / SJI 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 adapters near Anacortes ferry terminal WA

Hi there, I misplaced my USB-C and micro-USB adapters while catching the 6:30 PM ferry at the Anacortes terminal last Friday. They are small and black, one with a blue label on the micro-USB. I remember tucking them into a side pocket of my backpack near the information kiosk, and a gust of wind might have swept them away. If anyone found them, they are the only adapters I own for my work laptop, so they are hard to replace on short notice. Please drop a note through the site if you have seen them.

Seagate 1TB portable hard drive with red sticker

I lost my Seagate 1TB portable hard drive yesterday around 3pm near the Mount Vernon Safeway on 7th Street. It's a black, slim drive in a black protective case, with a bright red sticker bearing the initials 'KP' on the label. The drive is in good condition, no cracks, but there's a small dent on the bottom edge and a faint coffee stain on the case. I use it for family photos and work backups, so it's really important to get it back. If anyone found it, please reach out; it contains irreplaceable files and memories.
