Lost my Iphone

Big problem in the slum today. I was shooting photos while sitting down, took my phone out to show a person that had photographed her 7 years ago. Next time I checked for the phone it was gone. Probably fell out of my pocket, on the ground, a man behind me must have picked it up, without me realizing it.

Listed as LOST, trying to delete data on phone remotely. Changed passwords, to 4 emails, apple, amazon and facebook.

What a stupid thing to do, old and tired, and made a mistake in the heat. I should have put the phone into a zippered pocket. 

Now I have to spend the rest of my trip without a phone and worry about lost data/pics/vids and access to apps, identity theft.

I worry about how this will affect the project, might not want to go back to the slum soon.
