Hi,
I’ve lost my phone 13 pro max in siera blue in the Rambla road area, nr KFC on Thursday 21Sep.
I don’t have it backed up so desperate to get it back, the screen saver is my fox wire terrier and it had a clear Mous case.
Hello
My guess would be that is has been stolen & as its 9 days ago I imagine it could have changed hands now & be long gone.
In busy places like Alicante/Benidorm phone theft is commonplace with the accomplished pickpockets etc that are around.
Cheers

Even if stolen the allure of an instant profit from a sizeable reward (found it in the street didn't I) can well outweigh what a thief might get for it in a bar somewhere.
It cost's nothing to put contact info on the lock screen and a message offering a reward so there is absolutely nothing to be lost by doing it and potentially much to be gained.

Thanks Darro Elinspain
I do think I was pick pocketed. Two overfriendly spainish guys outside a pizza shop. My own fault as phone sunglasses hanging out of short pockets. Contact details on Lock Screen is a good idea, I would be willing to pay a reward to retrieve if could locate it but I suppose it’s a risk as back in UK now and not sure could successfully manage transaction which listing again. Lesson learnt to be more sensible and also back phone up.
cheers

Let's face it, after all this time your phone will be long gone with it put back to factory state and the sim in a bin somewhere near where it was stolen. They steal them to sell on the same day and make a good living out of it.
I've put several posts on this forum about the dangers of having phones hanging out of back pockets! A magnet for pickpockets here in Spain!
