Methods and apparatus for locating a wireless communication device and safeguarding its information from unauthorized users are provided. A sensing device provided with the wireless communication device identifies or senses an attempt to access unique information associated with the wireless communication device. In addition, the method includes requesting authentication information to gain access to the unique information. If authentication fails, a wireless service provider is subsequently alerted and provided with identification information of the wireless communication device. The wireless service provider can also be provided with location information of the wireless communication device.
