Stolen iPhone in a Restaurant

  • Stolen iPhone in a Restaurant

  • A travel inconvenience caused by the theft of my iPhone in June 2012.
  • The Theft

    • In June 2012, I had my iPhone stolen right off my table at a restaurant when I briefly turned the other way.
    • Despite enabling Apple's Find My iPhone feature, it was not helpful in recovering the device.
    • I was forced to buy a replacement phone and restore my data from backups, which proved to be a frustrating experience.
