Why can’t the stolen phone be found? Is it going to China? A case has come to light in London, after knowing which even the security agencies are shocked. A person’s phone was stolen in London. He roamed around London for 8 days and then suddenly reached China. When the security location of the phone was found out, even the security agencies were stunned. It was found out that this phone is being recycled and sold in the market again. Many big companies are involved in this work.
According to the BBC report, a man named Akara was going to his house after getting off the metro in London, when two people riding a bike came from behind and snatched the phone and ran away. Akara tried a lot but could not catch him. An hour later when he reached home, he put his iPhone 13 in Lost Mode. This locked the phone. That is, now the thief could not access its photos, videos and other content. Then Akara turned on the Find My iPhone feature with the help of a laptop. This started getting the location. It was found that the phone is still in Islington. For eight days, this phone was pinging at many places around North London. Akara even went to two places to find the phone. But did not find it.
Stolen in London, found in China
Akara said, I was very angry. It was a very expensive phone. We work hard to buy a phone and the thieves consider it useless and sell it for a pittance. The phone was stolen in May, and when Akara checked Find My iPhone again in June, he was shocked to see that the phone which was stolen from London was showing in Shenzhen city of China. After this, Akara also gave up. He said, it is not normal for a phone to reach Shenzhen. This device cannot be unloaded and used again. It will be broken. Shenzhen is also called the Silicon Valley of China. Technology experts are sitting here.
‘We can’t bring your phone’
When Akara told the police about this, they first tried to investigate. But when they came to know that the phone had gone to China, they were also surprised. They informed us through email and closed the case. The police said that this is impossible. We cannot bring your phone from there. We are also not able to identify the thieves. Not only Akara, many other people’s phones have been stolen. Many people also lost their money, because they used Apple Pay service, in which thousands of dollars were kept. One said, the saddest thing is that my mother’s last pictures were in it. I can do anything to get them back. He said, the police never contacted me, whereas my bank transactions revealed where the thieves had gone.
Where do these phones go?
Police say that there is a demand for second-hand phones in many countries. These phones are stolen and sold at junk prices. Then they are recycled and sent to other countries. Where they are sold at a good price. If this is to be stopped, the tracking system will have to be improved. So that the phone can be reached immediately. Thousands of phones are being stolen every week in Britain. In view of this, the British government has called a meeting of technocrats and phone manufacturers next week, so that a solution to this problem can be found.
