Hello Everyone,
My phone on which I installed /e/OS got stolen. Is there anything that I can do to localize it or to block it?
Thank you in advance for your answers.

First, understand that any of your online accounts (banks, email, mobile service provider, etc.) are now at risk for takeover, if the person who has your phone can unlock it and determine your phone number. Contact all those businesses or sites immediately and let them know your phone has been stolen, and to not allow SMS verification for password changes, login, etc.
Especially important: start with your mobile service provider!
As you notify them all, change your passwords.
Thank you Taurus for the advice. I wanted to know if there is a way to block the phone forever using /e/OS system. I heard that there is this option on iOS.
Best regards,
I think that’s on their roadmap, but probably not implemented yet.
But informing your mobile carrier of the theft would probably result in a universal blacklisting of the device as stolen, which would prevent it from accessing any of your e-drive data or from being activated on another carrier.
was your userdata encrypted? even if positive, 4pin password gives you only so much time - consider credentials compromised and rotate them, depending on the accounts you used with the phone.
the remote wipe is not implemented.
