I lost my phone in Dubai a while ago. Although I got it back, it was a scary experience.
It was my spare Samsung phone; it didn't have a SIM card, no network, and no GPS.
That's when I realized: security isn't about fixing things after they happen, it's about being prepared beforehand.
Luckily, I reported it to the police and got it back, so it was a stroke of luck.
I sincerely want to remind everyone to fully implement all your phone security measures beforehand; it will save you a lot of trouble in the future.
