RIM cannot.

Best to call your wireless carrier.

Yep, call your carrier and report the device stolen. They can make the device unusable.

Some carriers won't and some will. That's it.

Report it stolen to your carrier, at least.

Nope. Keep a password on the device to protect your data. Some recovery/remote wipe apps are out there but you have to have them installed on the BB before you lose it. If you're on a BES the BES admin can remotely wipe it.

Always backup and/or sync regularly.
