No joke, I lost mine in the woods, and it was inside of a faraday bag. I went to my cell phone company, got a new phone and a new sim that same day. I also went to Google and did an erase of the Pixel.

The next day, I went back to the woods and found my Pixel, still inside the faraday bag. The erase order hadn't gotten to the phone. It still hasn't. That's right: to this day, I've kept the phone in that bag, waiting and praying for some way to reverse the wipe command I gave to Google. One day, Google will enable me to reverse that wipe order, I have faith.
