If only this could work for all BlackBerry devices in North America. I found this over at the recently rejuvenated BerryReporter: BlackBerry ER. It’s an application which helps recover your BlackBerry device if it is stolen. If it’s lost, not so much, but the application takes advantage of a common criminal ploy. See, after your BlackBerry is stolen (or found and not reported), the first thing many criminals do is replace the SIM card. This gives them new IMSI and phone numbers. With BlackBerry ER, you can use that SIM swap to your advantage, helping you to file an accurate police report and recover your device. 
A SIM swap is what triggers the BlackBerry ER application. It will send the new phone number and IMSI number to a designated backup cell phone. Even better, it transmits the phone’s location using the internal GPS capability (either via the SIM or GSM chip). With this information in hand you can file an accurate police report, which will aid in the device’s recovery. Conceivably you could just go and recover it yourself, but that is not something we at BBGeeks can endorse. The more valuable the data on your BlackBerry, the more valuable BlackBerry ER can be for you. This is especially true if a criminal could benefit from the information therein. That means recovery of the device is essential. BlackBerry ER makes that a lot easier. On the downside, if the criminal just wants to resell the device, there’s a chance he or she wipes it before inserting a new SIM, rendering BlackBerry ER useless. It’s a chance you might want to take, though. Unfortunately, CDMA users cannot reap the benefits of this application. You can get BlackBerry ER for $9.97 until September 11 at the BBGeeks Store.

When my Blackberry was stolen a couple weeks ago I came across this web site to report stolen Blackberry:

There were some pictures on it that I would love to get back. Hopefully it helps.
my blackberry phone was stolen away, on 16th of december. is there a way to block the phone to make it useless for the thief. the pin no is 22C658C1, IMEI-354255042706343, PRODUCT CODE-6R19700N. The phone is Blackberry9700. THANK U.
@olawoye The best bet is to contact your service provider and cancel the services temporarily. Unfortunately if you do not already have a remote wiping app installed there is no way to remove your data from the device at this time.
Is there anyway I can track the lost blackberry without the Blackberry ER installed in the device? I mean its already late to get this software, my blackberry already stolen.
Somebody please help.
@MyBlackberry Unfortunately you can not track the BlackBerry without software already being installed on the device.
uhm…so what if the phone is wiped…because it has a password on it and the thief enters it incorrectly a set number of times….
wouldn’t it wipe the phone and the application? thus defeating the purpose?
my bb was stolen yesterday…n i do not hav d bb software installed…what do i do..plzz help
@jean Unfortunately there is nothing that can be done =(
Oh yes u can get it! just chill n let a new buyer acquire it. He’ll definitely make use of ur PIN. U have to keep trying to lure the buyer or the user to accept ur request and start a conversation..
