So my Dad (not very techie) bought an iPhone 4s via craigslist for my Mom last weekend. I guess the seller only wiped the iPhone "Reset All Settings" and didn't completely wipe the whole phone (I dont think the phone was stolen bc he was able to reset it). So now it is stuck in the beginning and asking for apple id bc the iCloud probably turned on. The seller has been uncooperative now with my Dad and is not answering his phone calls or text messages. He does answer when we use a different number, but hangs up when its my Dad. We even threatened via text that "we would hate to get the authorities involved for something so easy to avoid." Still no luck.
I know my Dad has to take this loss and learn from this lesson. What I am worried about is will the 'FIND MY iPHONE' still be on even though it is not activated and not connected to wifi? Being paranoid that the seller could track down my parents house and burglarized it when they are not home.
Thanks for reading.
