Apple has the IMEI’s for that missing phone and watch and when you try to use or activate the phone, I would assume it’s on a list of stolen/lost new merchandise. I wouldn’t risk it. It would’ve been really simple to call Apple when you received $2000 worth of merchandise you didn’t order a year ago and they would’ve made it very easy for you to return it. A year later, I don’t think anyone will be real lenient with this story, if you try to activate this phone.
