A student from China had recently lost his phone while on a trip to Penang. And, just as he arrived back in his home country, it appeared that his missing phone followed him home too!

According to a report by ZaoBao SG, a Singaporean professor working at a university in China had brought 3 students with him for a quick visit to Singapore in July.

On July 31 (Wednesday), the group travelled to Penang, where one of the students, a 21-year-old boy named Zeng Yusong, had lost his iPhone 15 Pro, which was password protected. Considering his identification cards (both personal ID and student ID) were inside the phone’s case, the student ended up feeling very anxious.

Phone 2

Returning to the spot where they had gotten down from a car, the student found the driver of the vehicle he was in and asked if he had left his phone behind. The driver told the student that there were no phones in the car and that, perhaps, the passengers after his group might have taken the phone.

Attempting to track the phone, the student found that his phone had been turned off.

 

Gone but not forgotten?

Believing that his phone was long gone, the group returned to Singapore where, upon checking the tracking application, the student found that the phone had been quickly turned on and off several times. However, it was still not enough to trace its location.

They then decided to make their way back to China as planned, on August 4 (Sunday). During a layover in Hong Kong, the student tried to track his phone again and discovered that it was located in Wenzhou, China, which was weirdly enough, where he studies. 

“The phone appeared in a shopping mall in Pingyang, Wenzhou, about 80 kilometres away from Zeng Yusong’s university. It’s incredible,” the professor shared.

 

Immediately after getting off the plane in China, the student approached the police and they all went to the shopping centre to find his phone.

The phone’s location led them to a mobile phone store in the mall, where CCTV footage showed the store’s clerk activating the phone and attempting to unlock its password.

Phone 1

The clerk revealed that a couple had brought the phone in and wanted to sell the phone at the store, but couldn’t as it was locked. They then left the phone there to see if the clerk could attempt to unlock it.

When the student contacted the couple, he learned that the couple was, in fact, in Penang when they found the phone. They said that they had waited around for more than 10 minutes to find the phone’s owner but ultimately took it back with them when no one claimed it.

 

The student believes that the couple had never intended to return the phone as they could have done so quite easily considering his IDs show his location in Wenzhou, and that the phone had been immediately turned off to avoid tracking.

But alas, it still landed back in the hands of its owner thousands of kilometres away from where it was first lost.
