So last week my phone got swiped. I thought it was just misplaced but yesterday someone was making calls. It's a fancy smart phone but I could care less about the phone. I'm more worried about any personal info or passwords that could be used against me. Any advice on what to keep an eye out for? I've already suspended the line and will report it stolen. I've also gone through and changed passwords to my back account etc.


The kicker is I think it was swiped from my desk at work. My own damn fault for forgetting it on my desk but it still pisses me off.
 
You didn't have any sort of password or lock on it? Always have that, and NEVER allow it to autocomplete or remember passwords.
 
Was it an iphone? They have the "remote wipe" function. Drop everything and call the apple store, they can wipe it back to factory defaults, like immediately.
 
Who were they calling? Also most newer phones have a GPS function that could be used to track down where it is.
