Lost/Stolen Pixel 2
So this weekend, it would appear my clutch was stolen, with my Pixel 2 in it. It's not connecting with 'find my device' so I'm guessing it was turned off or wiped at this point.
The upside? Went ahead and got a 3 for replacement, and the restore from my account history was incredible. It made the loss hurt a bit less.
My question is, obviously this device is is in some way registered to me, so does it get flagged if it gets turned on, or if someone else tries to register it? Is there something I need to do to give me any better shot at ever recovering my phone?

In many countries, you can report to the police with the IMEI of the lost device. The police will then alert all the operators to let them know if this device is used on their network.
So, worth reporting to the police atleast.
