Or what I could have done. I have never owned a smart phone; in fact I have only had any sort of mobile phone about 20 years ago, and then I kept it for just a few weeks. So I am well qualified to make a suggestion. Get your replacement phone (or borrow one if you have not replaced it yet) and put it on the lawn as close as possible to where your lost phone was reported. Do a "find my phone". If it reports that it is on your neighbour's lawn where you put it then disregard this post. I cannot help. But if it reports that it is, say, 100 metres due north, then go 100 metres due south and start looking. Have a happy New Year everyone - we are going to see the fireworks (in Albany).
