Comment on What's the Standard Operating Procedure for if someone steals your phone while you were using it and its unlocked?

If you weren’t already prepared (see other comments) then assume every credit/debit card you had saved in your Google Wallet/Apple Pay has been stolen - That’s one reason people snatch phones while unlocked and try to keep it unlocked.

Also assume any payment apps you have installed are now compromised e.g. Venmo and similar - that’s another reason people steal unlocked phones and try to keep it unlocked.

The above assumes you did not have any additional passwords/locking in the apps themselves beyond the phone’s screen unlock - I purposely

You may be able to remote lock the phone after the fact if you get to a computer or a someone you know with a phone on them to get online and initiate a remote lock.
