Lost and Found my precious N9
 
Hi All,
Thought this would be nice sharing.
this incident happened when i was going home from my workplace.
I was listening songs with earphones plugged. i got on to a local bus at the bus bay but as soon as i got into the bus the music stopeed. I checked my pockets and was shocked to see my N9 missing!!
I immediately got down the bus and suspected a guy. he showed me some other direction and told that the guy who stole my N9 was running that way. I suspected and saw this guy again, he started running.
I chased him like hell, but missed him. Then a taxi driver called me and showed me the direction in which the theif went. A person going in that direction gave me a lift, so i continued my chase. After some time i saw a guy wearing the same shirt and asked the biker to slow the bike and as soon as i neared him i got hold of his shirt. That guy saw me frightened threw my phone on the ground and ran away. I didnt chase that guy again caz i was having a severe pain in my leg. Finally I got my phone.

While searching for that guy, i took another fone and called my mobile, it was ringing but no one answered the call.
Later i understood that, the theif didnt know how to swipe to anwser the call, nor didnt know how to swtich off the phone, nor remove the sim card. I thank nokia for inventing such a safe
design :D.

All the theif could manage was making a scratch on my screen. which is kind of visible :( but bearable. :)

P.S. You might find my post little unrealistic, but this is 100% true.

Once again thank you Nokia for such an innovative design and OS as well :D

What a story!

Nice to hear that you have your phone back.
Didn't you had any screen protector on it?

Next time, if you didn't done it before:
don't forget to activate the "Track & Protect" :)

Wow, my heart was actually beating fast with this story, glad you got your phone back, and yes, just like HtheB said, next time activate Track & Protect, it will make your life easier with finding that phone, and keep your N9 in your hands next time so you make sure it won't happen ;)

Me, I created a jpeg/png file as start up image with my name, address, my other mobile number, and my wife's mobile number also. So, I always see it every time I reboot my N9, :)

Don't know if it's innovative that people can't figure out easily to answer a call or unlock the phone :)

But I'm happy to hear it ended well for you
