SINGAPORE: A Woman's Emotional Appeal for Her Lost iPhone

In a stirring appeal shared on social media, a woman whose iPhone went missing in a women’s restroom at Paya Lebar Quarter on New Year’s Day is reaching out for the public’s help. Oriero Angelyn posted her story on the Complaint Singapore Facebook group on January 2, expressing hope that the person who found her device would choose kindness and return it.

Tracking Details to Johor Bahru

Ms. Angelyn shared tracking details from her Apple Watch, indicating that the missing pink iPhone 16 Plus had made its way to Johor Bahru (JB). Her unfortunate loss occurred after a visit to the mall on January 1, where she accidentally left her phone atop a tissue holder in the restroom around 9 PM.

The Search for the Lost Phone

Realizing her mistake mere minutes later, Ms. Angelyn rushed back, only to find that her phone was no longer there. Inquiries made to a mall cleaner yielded no leads, and by the time she attempted to call her phone, it rang only briefly before going silent upon its relocation across the border.

A Heartfelt Message of Kindness

In her heartfelt message directed at the individual who took her phone, Ms. Angelyn wrote, 'The New Year just started, I hope you will choose to be kind. I bought it with my hard-earned money, and I know you understand how it feels.'

Community Support and Suggestions

Community members offered suggestions, including filing a police report and informing mall management about the incident. Others advised her to travel to JB and file a report with local authorities, urging them to assist her in retrieving the phone from the individual who currently possesses it.

The Continuing Search

When contacted for further details, Ms. Angelyn confirmed she had activated the 'Lost' mode on her phone, rendering it unusable for anyone who would try to access it. She also shared an update reflecting the phone’s change in location, although unfortunately, her work commitments prevent her from traveling to JB.

A Hope for a Happy Ending

Despite the challenging situation, Ms. Angelyn’s plea underscores a common sentiment of compassion and hope during the New Year season, as she awaits the possibility of her phone's return. Let’s hope for a happy ending to this story!
