I'm so riled up right now, I need other people to do my rational thinking for me.
DH lost his iPhone. A week ago. Of course, we confirmed today that it was stolen because I called AT&T and verified that there is a lot of activity originating from the lost phone. I'm not furious at DH that the phone was stolen - these things happen. But, what I want to scream at him for is the fact that he let this go for a friggin' week! He knew it was missing and never got worked up about it enough to go through all the necessary steps to really try and locate it. DH often has this overly relaxed attitude about stuff like this - life details that I actually think are important and need to be attended to, he views as getting in the way of his work, his trips to the gym, etc.
So, of course what I'm freaking about the most now (besides lost photos on the phone of DD, etc.) is identity theft. DH didn't even remember that he was logged onto Gmail, Facebook, etc. with the phone.
We've suspended the phone service. So, what steps do we need to take next? I'm thinking we need to go through DH's Gmail (I already made him change his password) and figure out what personal information is there (uh, like everything) - bank account statements, credit card statements, etc. DH's immediate reaction was that I was overreacting. :angry-smiley-005:
I'm thinking we need to sign up for one of those credit-report monitoring services or make sure we have one through one of our banks, change passwords to all of our accounts, etc. DH doesn't think he had anything of importance written down under Notes, but who knows. What else am I forgetting or not thinking about clearly? Also, should we file a police report?
Ugh, what a pain. And we're "celebrating" our 6-year anniversary today. I'm using the term "celebrating" loosely. We're marking the occasion by trying to improve our communication styles.
