No you can send it by the registered post to the officer of the concerned Police station in addition with the higher official of the department with complete details of the occurrence and you have to send an information to the network operator for the blocking of the SIM Card for the precautions of misuse of the no.

generally police refuse to register FIR if you claim it was stolen . . they insist on letter being given about missing mobile phone . since objective of loding FIr is tolodge claim with insurance company on account of non coperation from cops it becomes difficult .

cops cannot refuse to lodge FIR .if local inspector refuses to lodoge FIr you cna lodge complaint with the Supdt of police

1. It was lost or stolen?

2. If you have once said, it was lost, police would never register an FIR, as no crime has been done.

3. If it was stolen and police is not registering the FIR, move court.
