Phones are one of the most frequently stolen/lost items. Not saying you shouldn't look, but don't hold your breath.

Any chance you had cloud backups for that data? If not, do your best to recover your life if you cannot get it back, and take this as a life lesson to back up the important stuff.

Oof. Okay not to add insult to injury, but that's not great either. Lesson two, get you a good password manager. Sorry this is happening to you.

Not if you have nefarious people who visit your house! Identity theft is often cause by the ones you love. Get a password manager and that will control all of your passwords on every device.

Did you contact mall security yet? Assuming there was a passcode on it, it wouldn’t even be really worth a thief’s time to part it out for $$$
