The Austin Police Department recovered over 100 Apple iPhones that are suspected of being stolen in the Downtown Area of Austin over the 2025 Halloween weekend. If your phone was stolen, we encourage you to file an online report and make sure to include the IMEI and cell phone serial number. This information will be necessary to match recovered phones to their owners. This information can be obtained on the Apple box the phone came in or by contacting your cell phone carrier.

Below are photos of 17 phones that investigators are needing assistance in identifying their owner from the phone lock screen photos.
