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 .

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

LOL You should've caught him and beaten black and blue

And you should've opened this thread in "Off Topic" section as well

I'll remove here and post it in Off Topic

haha I can only expect such stuff to happen in Hyderabad :P

You are very lucky to get so much help to get it back

You could've just reported the thread and asked the moderators to move it than opening a new one there

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
