Last Friday, my partner's iPhone X was stolen from her bag and she realized it about 5 mins later which was obviously too late. Unfortunately, it was uninsured.

We turned on 'Lost Mode' immediately and reported it to the police thereafter. The phone came online briefly on the night of the theft and Apple sent us an email with a specific residential address which was less than a mile away from where it was stolen.

We also received phishing texts pretending to be from Apple the day after saying that the phone was found and that we should click a link to see the location. Pretty much what Brian Kebs says here - https://krebsonsecurity.com/2017/03/if-your-iphone-is-stolen-these-guys-may-try-to-iphish-you/

Now, it has been a few days and we have been receiving these texts regularly indicating that the thieves are desperate to unlock it.

The police have assigned an officer but we haven't been contacted by them yet. I have been thinking to go to the address directly and try and talk to them but this may be risky.

Is anyone who's had a similar experience able to share theirs?

Other HN folk, any tips on how to handle this further to maximize the chance of getting it back? Be nice please :)

I'm trying to understand how people keep track of multiple current accounts in the UK i.e. things like: do you consolidate the statements manually? Do you keep them separate? Do you do any analysis on them?

I have historically been fortunate to work alongside some amazing developers who share the same passion, sense of ownership and the same sense of responsibility towards a task as I do.

Lately though, some new senior developers who have joined our team seem least bothered about deadlines, financial risk or reputation risk which results in projects being delayed. There seems to be zero sense of ownership as the team leads like me are usually held responsible for any such delays.

How does one work alongside such people who do not share the same passion as yourself? Any practical advice?

Things I have already tried: 1. Make them aware about how time-critical a particular project is and how much financial damage it will call if delayed 2. Make them aware that if we complete on time, the amount of revenue will be tremendous which can be translated to a good raise during appraisals 3. Make them aware that successful completion raises profile within peers which leads to better collaboration in the future
