Mine was at head-brigde to upper iweka in Onitsha. I entered a bus (around 6:30pm) hoping the seven guys in the bus were all passengers. Without the slightest thought that I have entered one chance. They robbed off my (brand new)SAMSUNG Galaxy Tab2 10.1. I was thrown out of the bus as the zoomed off. I felt like screaming.

^^ @Ogash I suspect that phone was a Nokia.

I have much love for Nokia but I have proven that Nokias (maybe second only to BB ) are the highest casualties of loss, theft or 'mysterious disappearances'.
Or how do you explain how a phone (Nokia) playing music via earpieces plugged in one's ear gets 'stolen' ?
OR how a phone (Nokia...hehe) being charged in a large room with few occupants suddenly decides it's had enough of DC and takes a stroll of no return but LEAVES its probably unwanted CHARGER and discharges from it bowels (mayb as waste...) a hitherto accommodated SIM.
Mehn ayaf seen tins!

Caveat:The above are not personal experiences, they are...

I entered a danfo bus from okoko to ajangbadi and sat at the back. I just kept pressing my phones. From the left, i was sitting on the third seat, the man on my left hand was doing like someone that wants to throw up and asked me to come to his seat, and he sat on my seat pretending to throw out spit thru the window. When it was time for me to get down, i stood up, he stood up too and started behaving like someone dat's convulsing and kept pressing me against the other chair back, oh, i was saying sorry to him. (infact people were saying sorry, madam abeg wait and he was busy opening my bag) When the conducter dropped the seat close to the door for me to come down, my instinct told me check ur bag. Immediately, i looked and my bag was opened and i shouted my purse. Lo and behold, my purse was on d seat i stood up from. Imagine 4 phones wen i dey manage. C3 and other 3 nokia torch fones

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, confessing and pleading.
He’s still at the police station as I write. Meanwhile my friend has resumed Pinging.

One of the wonders of life

Used high tech to track and locate both the thieves. Recovered one, after 20 days, the bagger is coolin his heels for one year, the other is at large, tho I have his picture and the city he is in.
