If your iPhone or iPad are lost or stolen, either use the Find My iPhone app on another iPhone or iPad that are on the same Apple ID account, or go to http://me.com/find from any computer and put in your apple ID and password (the email and password you use for downloading any apps) and you'll be able to see where on a map any of your iPhones or iPads are that have the app installed using that ID.
At this point, you have 3 options.
- If you just lost it around the house or somewhere nearby, you can tell your phone to make a loud radar sound (even if you had the volume muted) so that you can easily find it and also send a message for anybody that finds it.

| Hopefully someone nice finds it. |
- Wipe the contents of your phone in case you have any information on there that you don't want anybody else seeing. If you decide to do the wipe, hopefully you have been regularly syncing your info to your computer so that when you get your phone back or a new one, you can easily transfer all of your saved information back to your recovered/new iPhone.
