So, there's a guy I've helped out a couple of times who knocked on the van at 3:30 a.m.

He asked if he could use my phone to make a call, and I stupidly agreed. I was concerned that this would be the outcome as he was on his bike. He makes his call, and then bikes off.

I have no way of contacting the police, but even if I did, they wouldn't care.

I'm supposed to make to to an appointment tomorrow, but it required a Lyft. Which, without a phone, can't be done.

I have no idea what to do. Even if I had Amazon Prime, I have no address.

Use this (if you have an iPhone) or this (if you have an Android) to locate your phone. And do report this to the police.

I did use the Google site before posting, but I had location services turned off for privacy reasons, and that is coming back to bite me in the ass.
