Forget about the phone..

Lodge a formal complaint in police station stating both the IMEIs , your phone number etc.

Chance of getting back the phone is next to none.

Change google password and get the sim blocked ASAP.

You'll never get your phone. Same thing happened with my father ☹️

Make sure to file a police report so that SIM card misuse will not be linked to you later on.

Google find device -> lock with a personal message.

You can even format complete data on phone using Google find device

Lodge a police complaint, sometimes they actually help 😑

My friend lost a brand new iPhone 14 while boarding a bus but nothing can be done once its stolen. It was in malad, Mumbai where incidents of phone theft are pretty common. I was even warned once by a bus conductor to stay away from some boys which were renowned pickpocketers over there.

These stolen phones are pretty much useless with lock protection ON (Face/Fingerprint/Pin/Password/Pattern). Its possible to get rid of lock screen security w/ Bootloader unlock + custom recovery but if the device is intact (Locked bootloader + USB Debugging OFF) there's no way for the robbers to make the phones work (w/o replacing motherboards). Even the deep flash cable method isn't working with newer redmi phones AFAIK

Like other suggested just file the FIR as a security precaution and get the sim blocked

Not to give you false hope, but my cousin got his phone back after 8-10 months with the help of Police. It was stolen from a bus in a tier-3 place in West Bengal. 

They actually busted a racket and recovered 1000s of phones that time. He didn't have to do much other than filing a FIR and some visits to the local police station for status enquiry.

If it was a Samsung and you can login to https://findmymobile.samsung.com...in from your Brother's account you might be able to get an approximate location even with the phone switched off. It is called off-line finding. Won't pinpoint the exact location but neararound.

My Phone has a feature called without my phone password/pin it will not POWER OFF Or Switch Off and whenever I am travelling 99% Chances "My Data Will be ON" and one more thing by swiping down My Internet or Any Other functions cannot be turned on/off without opening my phone Password/PIN.

Also,Most of the time I turned on my location for various reasons like Google Maps,OLA,Uber or Food near me so it's a WIN WIN Situation for me in these Robbery Cases. Finding my phone feature is good for me. Also,there is a SIM LOCK/ UNLOCK Feature in our phone even in NOKIA too Old ones where you can create a PIN for your SIM to turn it on while Switching ON. My phone bootloader is locked and phone is not rooted, device is IQOO NEO 6

any smartfone can be switched off/restart by holding the power button for more than 10 seconds. one more thing nowadays the back cover of the phone can be easily removed and disconnect the battery.


also, with the help of test point, modified custom rom can be installed with qpst qualcomm 9008 mode.

Congratulations 🎉👏 for new phone. Phone  Deals you will get on Desidime.

Sorry brother but chances of getting phone is very low... Don't forget to file complaint in police station. And change all passwords.

I think you will get sim for same number.

Ek baar ek chor ko pakda tha. Baccha sa hi tha. Mere doston ne usko itna maara peeta ki bacche ki rooh kaanp gayi. Side mein jo Police waale aaye, woh bhi nahin roke. Mera mere ek dost se jhagda ho gaya tab usne bola ki agar yeh aaj maar nahin khaya toh dubaara behichak chori karega tab se main ek chota chor dhoond raha hun jisko peet ke main yeh sabak kisi aur pe chipka sakun. Koi mil hi nahin raha. Pata nahin kahaan chupa hai. Aapko mile toh meri taraf se bhi peet dena extra 🙏🏻

I don't understand this like what do they get by stealing phone, there's no way they can unlock it, least they can do is sell parts or recycle.
