===Preparations===
* Write down the IMEI No. (International Mobile Equipment Identity) of the phone
** printed on the box
** or dial *#06# 
* Using a min 6-digit pin code for unlocking the phone is safer than pattern/muster, that leaves traces on the screen
* Config the lock screen to display your email address, so no "founder" can tell he was unable to contact the owner (turned you very nicely at the courtyard)
* Test the phone finder links below

===After phone is stolen===
* Call and text the phone
* Call police and tell them the IMEI no.
* Change stored passwords of all accounts and webpages
** Google / Apple
** E-Mail (very important)
** Facebook
** Dropbox
** eBay
** Amazon
** ...
* Lock SIM card via provider
* Lock phone via IMEI via provider (this ensures that the phone will not work in Europe any more)
