Youngsage: Has your phone(s) ever been stolen/lost/dissapeared mysteriously, if yes how and where did it happen? Did you get it back?

How did you feel immediately you realised that your phone was gone, with valuable data such as your contacts, photos, etc which might never be retrieved? Did you report to a police station?

And how did you get over your loss, do you still miss the phone in any way?

Over to you Nairalanders, let others learn from your experiences!

ajetunde: Google Nexus 4 had launched sometimes in November 2012, I preordered the sleek phone from US Playstore through a procurer (O & O Gadgets). The phone came sometimes Mid January (Shipping + purchase = 71,000 NGN) and I was just taking my time to move slowly from my yeye BB to this Android machine.....UNTIL

One unfaithful morning of Jan 2013.....

As the hustlers at CMS would have it, I had decided to leave home very early that morning (office is in VI), got to CMS and found out that there were no buses and you would have to fight your way into one. To cut the story short, my phone was moved from my pocket to an unknown destination while I was struggling to get into a bus. I still can't explain what I felt for the next 2 hours.

I got to the office and started Googling orisirishi , my hope lasted for about 3 days. I later swore to myself that I wouldn't buy a good phone until I bought a car.

IF CURSES WERE WISHES THAT WERE HORSES, THE GUY WHO TOOK IT WOULD BE DEAD BY NOW.

P.S Got the car 7 months after, still no new smartphone.....I'm still using my yeye BB

Blazinraj01: My first experience; I was in
part 1 then. We had all slept
soundly and peacefully in the
hostel. We woke up the next
morning only to find out 4
phones were gone ( mine and
3 other room mates). That
was when one of my room
mates said a girl entered
during midnight to pack the
phones and left without
waking anyone (hypnotism).
Till today, I still wonder how
the girl managed to bolt the
door from behind.
2nd Experience; I went for a
programme (youths only) in
mosque in December. Silly me
left my phones (2) and went
to ease myself. Before I got
back, my phones were gone.
Till today, I find it hard to trust
the other youths that were
there and hardly attend
programmes like that again.
For a long time, I was using
Multilinks phone and nokia
torchlight

wellmax: Believe me or not this happened today!

My friend (Kate) lost her BB Bold 6 phone 3 months ago. There was only one guy (I’ll call him Dan) in the area when the phone was missing, but this guy insists on his innocence. After much pleading and harassment, the guy was adamant, swearing and cursing. Kate just forgot about the phone.
Fast forward two months later one of her friend said she was chatting with a guy with the PIN and showed my friend the DP; lo and behold it was Dan’s pics. Before long Dan deleted all contacts and wouldn’t accept any. Later on, another friend got him on Whatsapp and pretended to be a Sugar mummy needing a young guy. Na so my Dan just fall. She kept the discussion running for two weeks. Today 18.11.2013, she told Dan it was time they met. She promised him Lunch at TFC, told him not to worry; she’ll pay for everything, and even offered to pick him up. Later she told him that because of her busy schedule and Lagos traffic, Dan should just come to meet her in the office and that she will refund his transport. Na so Dan rush come ooo.
She had already briefed office security of his coming and the plan. Immediately he came, they called her on phone; repeatedly calling her Madam, fooling Dan. Dan was just cool, happy that he has hooked up with a big madam. Before you say jack, plain cloth Policeman came to meet him in the waiting room and sat beside him. Then Kate, the real owner just showed up. Dan wan enter ground. The plain clothe Police man just showed him an ID and handcuffed him. Dan started crying and pleading.
He’s still at the police station as I write. Meanwhile my friend has resumed Pinging.

makzeze: A young man came to our mosque that he wants to convert to Islam, and he did. Then he asked for accomodation to spend that night, and some brothers in that house that the mosque is located offered him a space to spend the night, the following money the guy just disappeared with their phones.
