Basically, thieves take the #SIM card out of the stolen iPhone and then put it into another #iPhone. Using social networks like #Facebook and #Instagram, they can easily find out the email address used by the person who had the phone stolen. In most cases, this #email address is the same as the one used for the #Apple ID. All they need to do is reset the Apple ID #password using the victim’s #phone number.
