Hi Sarah, Assuming that your friend installed IOS5 and enabled "find my iphone" in settings-->iCloud, this is sort of possible by going to the icloud.com site and signing on with an Apple ID and selecting "find my iphone".
>From my testing, this now only appears to be possible using either Google >Chrome or Webkit/Safari. Be ware of a few rather severe accessibility >barriers though. If a passcode is already set on the phone, one can select >"find my iPhone" and after pressing the unlabeled button below the device (EG >joe blows iPhone located 2 minutes ago) select "remote lock and then press a >button to confirm. If a passcode is not set, however, the site prompts for a >passcode and confirmation. Sadly, these fields are not accessible to >voiceOver or any other screen reading technology that I've tested so far. >Even guessing and entering four digit numbers in the two likely places doesn't >work. On the Windows side (running XP pro), I can use Chrome with the same limitation described above (IE if a passcode is not already set I'm completely SOL), but I wouldn't dare try this using Mozilla Firefox 10.0. When I select "remote lock" I keep receiving the admonishment for "remote wipe" and chicken out. Best regards.

I heard somewhere that you can remotely lock an iPhone from your mac. I've searched all over google but cannot find a way to do this. I'm asking on behalf of a friend how to do this and I'm curious myself lol! Take care all.
