    You know I feel for your uncle, but this is a question/answer site and that wasn't a question. Unless it is in the Jeopardy format...

    ^^^ LOL!


    Anyway, Oliver is right, it wasn't really a question. I do assume though, you are wanting to know how to find it? Am I right?

    The short answer is to look for it. Without the find app, there is little you can do except look for it. Maybe call the number....other than that, good luck.

    I agree with Oliver and odinn, there's really little we can do to help. You'll have to look for it, or try calling it (if it's in the house, and the battery is charged, calling it will make it ring, and help you find it). But, if he lost it outside of the home, good luck finding it. He'll likely have to get a new one.

    A good idea is to have a contact named HOME and/or ICE (In case of Emergency) that dials your home. This way, if anyone finds it, they can call home to let you know they found it.

    But that doesn't help you know. The only thing you can do is call the number and hope, whoever found it, answers.

    If calling the phone hasn't helped, try contacting service provider. Maybe tgey can turn it on or track it (but don't get hopes up)
