    ********************************************** I. lucky Cases if theif is innocent & swithed on the mobile & start using. 1.Case when internet is on. I found mobile theft has become more serious problem now a days. Tracing the lost/stolen devices with already connected with internet & gmail account is easier now. 2.Case when internet is off Lucky if installed the mobile tracking apps which can be operated with SMS ********************************************** II. Un-lucky if theif is smart [using the original IMEI] He will surely switch off the phone, remove the SIM & google to Hard reset the device which swipe all the gmail accounts, fb accounts ,data etc means the tracing apps already installed or going to be installed using the synced gmails wont work. In this case mobile tracking can only done by Cyber Police. But i found in India like country where police will have no interest in tracing the device. So what an individual do even his device is so smarter but still a it does't recognise his owner. [i am one of the suffered with lost] Suggestion: in this case google/OS providers should add a feature as described below: 1. A google/ facebook/ Iphone account should be synced with IMEI. so that even if Hard reset the device,its IMEI will not be lost & his all accounts should not be erased. 2. If really owner intention to sell the device to other person, then device should ask online OTP password sent to his any of the synced device accounts to erase all of his synced accounts from that device. 3. Every SIM change info should be sent to any synced accounts [no disabled option for this feature]. 4. Every SIM change info should be sent to if any alternate phone number. ********************************************** III. Un-lucky if theif is very/too smart [erasing the original IMEI/Flashing the device which replaces the original IMEI] 1. Erasing the original IMEI: a. I think in this case IMEI change history should be maintained from the device side. b. Every change should be reported to synced device accounts/ cell alternate numbers. 2. Flashing the device which replaces the original IMEI a. for flashing device should ask the password otherwise it should not flash. b. in case if forgetten & needed the password,then user should switch on the device & ask for flash pin from device to be send to any of the synced device account or SMS to his cell number. ********************************************** Please please please
