Hello ~ This is from the link you came from…


*Mark as Lost

When you mark your device as lost, you remotely lock it with a passcode, keeping your information secure. This also disables Apple Pay on the missing device. And you can display a custom message with your contact information on the missing device.

Have you done this? Give it a try. Sorry you are having this issue. It may be that you never recover the device but protecting your information is paramount.
