You should report this to the law enforcement and your carrier, if you haven't done that already.


...

  • Report it to local law enforcement. They might request the serial number of your iPhone or iPad, which you can find even if you don't have the device.
  • Contact your wireless carrier to report your stolen iPhone. You should ask them to suspend your account and file a claim if your iPhone is covered under your wireless carrier plan.

Also mark it as lost and wipe it remotely, as explained in this article:

You can remotely erase your device using the Find My app on another device or at icloud.com/find. But make sure that you've tried everything else to find it, because erasing your device can't be undone.

Don't remove the device from Find My, even if you remotely erase it. Removing the device from your Find My list removes Activation Lock, which will make it easier for the thief to unlock and resell your device.

If you filed a claim with AppleCare+ with Theft and Loss, don't remove the device from Find My or your Apple Account, even if you remotely erase it.

If your device is offline, the remote erase process begins the next time it's online.

Lock it down in Find My and Erase it. You can do both in find my and then call the carrier. It will only be worth the parts😂
