trulycrabby Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 ....tonight at chess club at the local YMCA! I have already deregistered it, but I was wondering what will show up...will they be able to get into my email.? My gmail account opens right up from an icon, no password needed. I would close the gmail account, but I need to be able to communicate with soccer team, etc... Other than that, they can see my facebook account, and WTM. I will go right now and change passwords for amazon, eBay, etc... Anything else I need to do besides get a new kindle? :) It's a minor inconvenience, but I am disgruntled that it was stolen at the Y of all places. Thanks for listening to me gripe. :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
librarymama Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 That's awful! If you haven't yet, call Amazon to report it stolen. I believe that means no one can register it, ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trulycrabby Posted September 9, 2014 Author Share Posted September 9, 2014 Thank you; I will do that! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
librarymama Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Also, changing your passwords should keep them out of your accounts. They will have to connect it to Wi-Fi, and changed passwords means it will prompt them to re-enter them. Again, I'm so sorry that happened.

librarymama Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 My husband works for Amazon. He said if you call they can kill it remotely for you! ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmyontheFarm Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Maybe trying emailing yourself and ask them to return it to where it was stolen. Maybe it was "accidentally" picked up and they will drop it back off to the YMCA. Hey, if a lady can get a car thief to return her car via text, maybe you can get the kindle back.

mathnerd Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Go to your google account and change your password for google. That way, they cannot get into your email if they click on the icon as it will ask them to re-enter password for google account. Change your Facebook and WTM account passwords too and any of your other accounts (banks, credit cards) that you might have accessed from the kindle. Call the front desk of YMCA and ask them if any one turned it in. And change all the passwords even if you get the kindle back. My iPhone went missing at a halloween party and I gave up on it. A man called my DH from my phone and said that his wife found the phone and he dropped off the phone at my DH's workplace because he was closely. So, if someone nice got a hold of it, then chances are that they will turn it in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stripe Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 :Grouphug: I found an iPhone at Costco a couple weeks ago, on a pile of clothes, and some other smartphone on top of the toilet roll at a bathroom in a downtown park on the weekend (was able to return to the previous user of the stall). Hope someone turns yours in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trulycrabby Posted September 9, 2014 Author Share Posted September 9, 2014 Thanks for all your advice! I called the Y, and texted the chess club leader, and the chess club leader found it on the floor last night and took it home with her. It must have fallen out of my bookbag when I was taking another book out, because I did not use it at all at chess club. I met her this morning and got it back. So, sorry I jumped the gun about calling it stolen. It just didn't occur to me that it might have fallen out of the bag because it was way down in the bottom of the bag. :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
