Few months ago someone stole my phone. I couldn't install Plan B app because phone was turned off. Today I noticed that someone have logged in at my gmail account month after i lost it. Is it possible to find out what phone number was used to login?

got my Vibrant a few weeks ago and I have been unable to see the top paid apps tab in the market...could this have anything to do with the fact that when I bought it and the tmobile customer rep turned on the phone and I was already signed in without me actually signing in yet? If so, how do I sign out of the market and sign back in?
that my friend is a used phone... if someone else was signed in then should've of asked for a different phone.. Take it BACK.....
I recently got my phone repaired and I went and got it back today, however Ive noticed something strange.. I didnt have my SIM in the phone while getting repaired but for some reason my carrier account was logged in on the internet browser and I factory resetted before handing it in. Also 3 calls were made to this strange number which cost me $5, the number goes +113010xxxxxxxx ('x' is my sim number). I cant find out what it means but Im think I got hacked while getting repaired?

Why didn't you send it somewhere official for repair?
You should speak to your carrier about what it means
So I bought an LG Leon last Christmas and today did a factory reset on it. Shortly after doing this I come to learn about something called Android Device Protection As most of you will probably know, the phone now wants me to login with the old Android account. And here's the problem... I don't have that account. I wasn't planning on using the same Google account anymore, so I didn't even take note of what the username was. Furthermore, after spending over an hour trying to recover the Google account, I don't have any recovery options. So basically I have no way of knowing what my Google username was.
So apart from smashing it with a hammer and calling up the insurance company for a new replacement, what are my options?
I recently got the phone from my brother wife since she has a brand new samsung phone.
So i decide to hard format the phone without knowing that the phone was locked with her old google account.
Since she doesn't remember her old google account anymore, the phone stuck on the security screen i.e i need to enter the previous account which were sync with the phone.
I don't know what to do anymore.
Can someone help me solve this issues :crying::crying::crying:
#The phone is legit, not stolen or whatever

Ok nevermind, i worked it out already, problem solved!!!
So what happened was my friend's father couldn't remember his PIN. So my friend booted into recovery and reset the phone, a Samsung A70. When it started back up Google Factory Reset Protection kicked in and requires either the original PIN (forgotten) or the gmail password ... which he cannot remember.
The only access to the account is an old Samsung Note that is still logged into the Google account, so emails can be checked. Other than that: no access.
Went into the local samsung Authorized Repairers, who referred us to Samsung, who said they would not help because the phone was bought overseas, not that they confirmed that they COULD help if it was bought here. The dad is not planning any overseason holidays so not sure if they phone could ever make it back to a local Samsung dealer.
In other words: the perfect storm of dealing with parent's technology.
Is the phone bricked and/or only option flashing a Google free ROM?
Is there anyway to unlock the device with ODIN?
Now I am not sure if it can be flashed without logging in to unlock bootloader ... so maybe it is bricked
