Don't really knw where to post dis, but I found dis story very interesting
You’d have to agree that
when you lose a phone,
replacing the device isn’t
as painful as rebuilding
your list of contacts. That’s
why this Chinese thief is so
special – he copied over
1,000 contacts on to 11
pages by hand and sent them to the owner of the
phone he had stolen.
The $440 iPhone in question belonged to Zou Bin, a
barman from Changsha, capital of the Hunan
province. Zou told local media that he was returning
home wasted from his best friend’s bachelor party
earlier this month, when the theft occurred. He had
passed out in the taxi taking him home along with
three other strangers. Zou isn’t certain which one of
them was the culprit.
When Zou discovered that his phone was missing the
next morning, he naturally was furious. The device
contained more than 1,000 work related contacts
that he could not afford to lose. So he did the first
thing that came to mind – Zou sent threatening text
messages to his own number from a friend’s phone.
In what would later turn out to be a smart move, Zou
texted the thief, “You can be sure that I will find you.
Just have a look through my contacts and you will
see who I am. If you are clever, you will send the
mobile back to the following address…”
Of course, Zou wasn’t serious, which is why the
pickpocket’s next move stunned him. Four days later,
he received a package couriered to his front door.
Unfortunately it didn’t contain the phone, but it did
carry the next best thing – a handwritten list of Zou’s
contacts and his SIM. “All of the numbers were
handwritten,” said Zou. “It would take a long time
simply to write the numbers 1 to 1,000 let alone all
those names and telephone numbers. It must have
given him a swollen hand.”
Zou advised that people shouldn’t just give up if they
lose their phone. “Sometimes bluffing works,” he
said. “But it is also best to save your contacts to your
SIM card so you spare the thief some writing.” The
thief, whoever he or she is, has become a hero of
sorts in the Chinese media. Internet users are calling
him ‘the conscience of the robbery industry’. He’s
even being compared to model citizen Lei Feng,
member of the People’s Liberation Army.
I’m not sure what prompted the thief to do such a
thing. Was he genuinely trying to help Zou, or did he
feel threatened by the text messages? Whatever the
reason, it’s pretty special what he’s done. Perhaps
the poor fellow never meant to steal the phone, but
didn’t really have the heart to return it either.

Nawa ooo
