Emergency! Phone stolen

Hi all,

Somebody stole my phone 2 hours ago from the office. I blocked the number, but unfortunately, there are quite some private things on my phone. Is there any way I could remotely erase it?

I had HTC sense installed, but when I log into the webaccount it does not show me the device it was registered. I also tried to install Plan B, but no response, which is all a bit worrying.Is there anything I could do with the IMEI number?

Many thanks!

    Do either of these services require an active data connection?

    Because you've just blocked the data connection...

    Did one of your workmates steal it then.

    My neice had her expensive ear phones stolen from her drawer last week, unfortunately for the security man he didnt realise the office was covered by CCTV when he lifted them.
    make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
    and we will never, ever return.

    Nope, there was a guy coming in during lunch break, pretending to be a student, and the person who remained in the office did not observe what he did ...

    I guess the guy who stole the phone will have been smart enough to first remove my SIM so that the mobile can't be tracked anymore!
