shevon: Sometime in 2009 I went to drop off my girlfriend (now my wife) at her dad's and we were robbed in front of her house. I lost my HP Ipac and a Nokia locked to Starcomms, which the guys later threw away. Someone found it, called a friend at my office and I went to get it back. Was glad to have back sha.

This is exactly what landed a "samaritan" 4 years incarceration in kirikiri.

Thank God that's in abuja bt here in lagos ? A lagos area boy will never return a wallet wit no money noT to talk of fone and laptop ..smh

Yeah we have the GOOD,BAD and UGLY.... Last week i was in a cyber cafe and i got hold of a misplaced BLOD5.....hoping the owner was going to call d phone before i leave d net but he didnt.....just wen i got home, a number was callin and i had no choice dan answerin, it was him and i told him where to meet me to collect his phone.... I cant claim ownership of what is not mine....

Shoo! Phone?! Abi mo ti return e ni?? -_-

Scarpon: for this kind weather na hin I see bb poshe or iphone 5 and u expect me to return am?? na jaz??

Na your kind we dey talk about. Expecting to gain from others' misfortune. You'll have your reward.

boron10: in abuja, northern parts of naija and some parts of lagos, you are likely to get your phone back once you misplace it in public. The same cannot be said in the eastern part of naija. Misplace your phone in igboland, then your phone is gone for good.

Mr i too know, how can you judge the whole eastern part of the country from your selfish point of view? grow up and stop this tribalism and pointing fingers, you are too old for this kinda thing

nenergy: January 2012, 2 phones (3 sims) slide out of my pocket while returning from an aptitude test. I didn't pass the test and was moody. Didn't notice until i got home. Kept calling the "stupid finder" but he kept posting me. From his voice he probably was an area boy. Having your missing phones returned is a function of the kind of person who finds it 1st.

Secondly, returning missing phones in Nigeria can be risky business. I read in the news of how a girl spent 4years in kirikiri for returning a "missing phone". The owner had lost many other things that day and accused the girl of "stealing" them.

Lesson: in returning a missing phone; have the owner come to you, not you going to them. Make sure you ask them to carefully explain how they might have lost the phone,so no police wahala. And have witnesses with you when doing the exchange.

Its unfortunate if the girl actually spent 4 years in kirikiri for a crime she knew nothing about. However It seems there is more to her story because i doubt if someone would be that heartless to arrest a girl who found and returned a missing item exceptif a crime was committed in the process.

D damsel: dat's nt true. good pple are evrywhere. I lst a phone 2 mnths ago here in d east. It ws actually stolen bt d thief was caught trying 2 steal anoda phone by some studnts. Abt 3 stolen phones were discoverd. I thought i hd lst my phone 4 gud wen those studnts contactd my mum n she in turn called me through my oda line. I recoverd my phone.

Sign that you are blessed and covered.

Lost my fone n delta last yr novemeber(batch C) at the NYSC camp. Nokia C7. My shuttle was torn and the fone removed. Even though camp soldiers raised hell and threaten fire, d fone no commot.

Seen a nokia heavyweight smartphone and returned it while i was using a 3110..stealing is not part of me

Scarpon: for this kind weather na hin I see bb poshe or iphone 5 and u expect me to return am?? na jaz??

You have just named ur price ... so cheap. Pple have found stuffs worth more than that and yet returned it. If stealing / greed doesn't lie within u or in ur blood, you'll return another man's property if found

DJDOLA: D fone am usin now I saw it on a cab I off it later remove d sim put my own sim start usin it..pls if d owner of d Iphone5 is here pls can u pls explain how am goin 2 use dat application dat forcast weather plssssssss

Mr Thief, don't worry, he'll soon catch u via d icloud app. Just wait till u make dat foolish mistake of ...

2007 my nokia1100 fell from my leaking pocket on top bike.A gud samaritan coupled it, pursued me with bike n hand it back to me.Oh Halleluyah......what a wonderful recovery

iyatrustee:
my younger sister once forgot her fone in a cab. She realised almost immediately and called the line and because she sat in front, it was easy for the cabman to see it. The man picked and all he told her was[b]"if. na for ur house i drop u, then u no get shame to dey find wetin don lost. Let sleeping dogs lie!"[/b]

I don't understand this statement at all.
