Since we are all so attached to our mobile phones these day, losing our phone is almost like losing a part of ourselves. That’s what this girl and her boyfriend from Penang felt when her boyfriend accidentally misplaced his Huawei Nova 2i and they were frantically looking for it.
They tried retracing their steps and looking in places they had been before that but could not find it. They had also attempted to look for the phone’s location but apparently the person who found it had turned off the phone. After an hour of trying to call her boyfriend’s number, finally, someone picked up the call.
In her post, she said, “The guy who found my boyfriend’s mobile phone answered and said that he wanted RM500 as a reward to return the phone to us. We agreed, as my boyfriend needed his phone because he had important work information stored inside. The guy told us to meet at Taman Kheng Tian’s Old Town cafe and said that my boyfriend needed to come alone.”
“However, before we left for the agreed location, we called the guy again but he told us that he wanted a bigger reward for the lost phone. He said that he wanted RM700 and then told us he wanted to meet at Jalan Jelutong instead.”
After changing locations several times, the couple and the guy finally agreed to meet at a highway. Sounds fishy! Her boyfriend got down from the car to meet him and told the guy that he only had RM550 instead of RM700. Finally, he got back his mobile phone.
Not so easy though!
“Suddenly, while the guy was pretending to count the money, he punched my boyfriend at the side of his head, which caused my boyfriend to feel dizzy. The guy snatched my boyfriend’s mobile phone and my Oppo 5s, which he had been using to contact the guy before fleeing the scene. My boyfriend tried to chase after him but he was feeling disoriented and in the midst of the car chase, he got into an accident.” The car was badly damaged!
Luckily, the man who was hit was very understanding but they had to let the culprit escape after the accident. She ends her post warning other Penangites to be careful of the crook as she suspects that he hangs out around Jalan Jelutong. He rides a white Honda EX5 but she could not see the number plate clearly. She is still hoping to get both of their phones back as they have important information inside. She hopes that anyone who sees them will inform her.
Hopefully they are able to find their missing mobile phones!
