I lost my trust wallet! Pay reward!

[BitcoinGirl.Club]

@aecio1987, place an ad in the newspaper and on the radio or put up posters that you look for your mobile phone because you have some things in it that you are sentimentally attached to - of course offer a reward to whoever returns your mobile phone, and the reward should be higher than the price of the mobile phone.

At current price it's $346K (blood market). It's a lot of money. The investment for a big publicity could help to get the devices back. If the reward is high then even the thief could consider giving it back for the reward. This is indeed a good proposal.

@BitcoinGirl.Club, a thief usually sells what he steals, and if you motivate him with a reward much higher than what he can earn by selling, why wouldn’t someone pretend to be an honest citizen who found the device and now returns it to the owner. The problem, of course, can be if the thief realizes what he actually has in his possession, whether he manages to unlock his cell phone or read this thread.

Also, thieves usually do a hard reset of the smartphone, so OP should be careful not to pay for a phone that actually no longer has a crypto wallet.

At very least, i doubt the thief would read this thread since OP just create this account and the first post is this thread.

It is unlikely that the thief will read this thread, but the OP has revealed which country he comes from and what his name is (possibly he wrote false information), but it is always possible that the theft was carried out by someone who knows him and can accidentally find of this information. In any case, I hope that the OP will be able to track down their devices, one way or another - I would certainly do my best for 17 BTC.

That's if the thief has not flashed the phone's OS by now. That what they usually do when they can't access the phone using the password or Touch ID.

Absolutely gutted by OPs loss. There is no way he's going to recover the Bitcoins in the other account minus the seed phase to it.

If it is an iPhone there is a chance that it was iCloud locked after the theft (maybe for android there is something similar). If you know look on ebay you will find many iCloud locked iPhones. For those phones there are only two options:
 
You are the original owner and apple can remove the iCloud lock for you.

You are not the original owner and you will have to reset the phone completely with special tools or you just take expensive parts like display etc.

So your best bet may be to search for your iPhone on ebay etc. since if you can buy it there there is a chance that the data is not yet deleted because the thief does not have the special tools that are needed to reset the phone.

You have more than one account on trust wallet and but you only backup the recovery words that was empty, what kind of bad security idea did you follow.

I believe that wasn't deliberate if it actually happened. It happened to me when I started using Trust Wallet. I backed up the first account erroneously believing that all other accounts I opened in that wallet had the same passphrase. How dumb that was, knowing they had different funds in them. I guess that was OP's thinking too.

At current price it's $346K (blood market). It's a lot of money.

You're indirectly trying to make OP cry; that's if their story is genuine. I said that because we've seen such sob stories that end up not been true.

If he backed up the wallet without Bitcoins in side then it's over for him, that wasn't a wise decision. The both wallets are no way possible to be linked together. You can open multi- wallet's and they won't be linked. These is a warning to all to write all of your seed phase in a physical paper or book just Incase situations like this arises.

First you said your main account was left empty and then in your second post you said your main account holds 0.6 BTC while the second one has 17 bitcoin. If the story is true, I am sorry for your loss. I don't believe your will be able to recover those coins unfortunately. Ways of recovery are something that should have been considered when the wallets were generated, not when it came to an accident.

If the thief can't unlock your phone due to Face ID or passwords, he surely reset it to factory settings by now. It's been a month since your phone was stolen. Not to mention that he is probably not even in possession of the stolen gear, so even if the police found him, who knows where the devices landed after.
