    Default Phone stolen =(

    hi all,

    I didn't quit SL, Someone has stolen my phone a week ago so I couldn't play SL anymore. I already bought a new one but it will take some days before they will deliver it to my home. So for all the people who were asking where I was: I will be playing SL again when I have my new phone.

    Miss ya all

    Sad news

    For your account's security though:

    If your account was pre-logged in to the phone, you might want to ask Support if they can ban your old device. Hope it's not too late.

    Yeah what Elly said. Not to mention, if you have any google accounts attached to the phone or any other accounts saved into the phone, you may want to go through and change all of your passwords. I've lost a couple phones in my day. Not a fun thing to go through. Sorry for your trouble.

    Depending on your device, you may even be able to remote wipe. I would check into this. As an aside, if you can remote wipe, you may be able to gps track it as well, find where it is and contact the authorities.

    Ouch! Keep calling the phone until the robber either goes insane or commits suicide. Or just returns the phone.

    That totally sucks. As mentioned above, some sort of device security is highly recommended. I have an app on my phone (Droid, but I'm sure iPhone apps can do the same) that allows you to remotely lock the phone down (not allow phone calls or apps to run) from any computer. It will also allow you to access the phone's GPS and see where your phone is, either to help locate the person who stole it or to help you realize that maybe you just lost it/forgot it someplace and it wasn't actually stolen. And that's just secondary security, because you should always have your phone password locked, making it virtually useless to anyone who doesn't know the password anyway. I just discovered that Android has a cool "gesture lock" feature that makes it a little quicker for you to unlock your own phone compared to a traditional password lock, and also seems more secure.

    Of course, none of that will actually prevent anyone from stealing your phone, but at least you'll have the satisfaction of knowing that whoever stole it probably won't be able to do anything with it.
