My iPhone X stolen recently. I thought no more hope, but then I noticed the thief somehow manage use my Grab. He even changed my email to his!
Question is, can police track owner of email, and then find out who the thief is? or is reporting police a waste of time?
Anyone with police experience or past experience?

I have no idea, but the Grab driver called me, asking for my location. Then only I realise what's happened. Maybe he use my number to login to Grab? But then why change the email? Why use my Grab account? This post has been edited by HansLau: Nov 29 2018, 08:34 PM

But then why change the email? Why use my Grab account? yes. dun think he can easily use ur phone. If he can, u may need to worry about ur data instead of your phone.

Don’t have find my iPhone? Suggest u to report police but then dun ask them to find for u or go with u. Else they will need your phone as exhibit item to charge the criminal. That will takes years for court hearing. Better to ask ur fren to gangbang them

Your logic is a bit off, but one things I am sure you have no basic knowledge about the phone and the telco service.

Better to ask ur fren to gangbang them I managed to retrieve back my stolen ip4 years back 1 month after my co-driver’s window was broken. After 1 month, received find my iphone notification that my iphone was detected & auto locked at the KL police stations housing. The police raided the pencuri house and bring back my iphone to his police home quarters & tried to use my phone... kekeke

Lost my ipx before Christmas last year. The phone has not come online since then, according to Find My Iphone app.
Made a police report, just in case.
