Stolen cell phone /passport someone is using it now What to do?
Someone stole my bright yellow bag inside the airport terminal. I was taking my son to fly away as an unaccompanied minor - so I had to wait for him to take off. I was so emotional I forgot the bag that had my passport in it! By the time I made it out the gate they would not let me back in. So I was at the airport all day long searching for it. Today I logged into my cell phone account and someone is using it in Fort Worth ( where the airport is) Texas! I was at the airport in LaGuardia....and I checked and there were flights from my terminal leaving to Fort Worth. My phone is on charged and that person has my PASSPORT! I don't care about the phone I just need my passport back :(. Can the airport detectived look at camera footage to see who picked up my yellow bag and what airplane they got on in terminal b? Should I call police in Texas and ask them to trace the phone signal. This is national security b/c it involves someone who knowingly stole a US passport. HELP!! Thanks so much! I just did a reverse look on one of the cell phone numbers they are dialing! So I have a name and adress now I need to find out if that person was on a flight or not.... OK so I called again and spoke to a guy one on of the numbers he called. - he sounded nervous and denied everything. I then called back my phone and HIS phone and everything is turned off....

You should contact the FBI and the TSA and Homeland Security and Texas State Police. Also Immigration and let them know your passport is stolen.

Call your cellphone provider and let them know that you've lost your phone. Report your passport stolen and apply for a new one. You'll have new scanning codes on it. Have you tried calling your cellphone number?

Sorry, call the police. That is NOT a national security issue though!

Woah thats really serious you should bring in all 9 yards on this. If the police approve, you should probably bring in the FBI as well.

1. Call your cellular privider and report the theft. 2. Call the police and report the theft. Record the police report number. Call your cellular provider again and give them the police report number. Do both of those things ASAP. 3. Go to the Post Office and report the theft of your passport. Do that as soon as you can get to a P.O. during working hours. Include the police report number in the report. You can apply for a new passport at the same time, but don't delay reporting the loss to get the photos, etc. 4. Send letters to all 3 credit reporting agencies advising them of the theft of your passport (there is a possibility of identity theft). Include the police report number in the letters. Mail the letters on Monday. 5. Check your credit in about a month to look for possible identity theft. Identity theft is unlikely to really happen unless your SSN was in the bag.
