Tip Center - Report Blackberry Theft

It's best to avoid additional charges by contacting the service provider and canceling service immediately. This prevents someone from using the Blackberry device.

Here is a step by step guide to file a police report to report stolen Blackberry.

1. Locate and go to the police precinct where the Blackberry was stolen.
2. Inform the receptionist your purpose is to report stolen Blackberry and they will provide the paperwork.
3. When filling in the police report paperwork, enter as much information as possible about the stolen Blackberry, most importantly the serial number.
4. The police will then provide you with a case number. Keep this case number safe as you will need it for future reference.

There is an application called BlackBerry ER that can help recover a stolen Blackberry. Unfortunatley this works for stolen Blackberry's, not so much for a lost Blackberry.

How BlackBerry ER tracks the stolen BlackBerry is when a new SIM card is installed it activates the software which sends the phone number and IMSI number to a designated backup cell phone. I also tracks the stolen Blackberry using the GPS technology. You can then use this information when you report stolen Blackberry to the police.

Unfortunately, if you did not have this software previously installed and have experienced Blackberry theft it does not work. At this point the best thing to do is to file a police report and report stolen Blackberry here on Stolen-Property.com.
