After jesting that my lost phone ended up in Nairobi, this morning’s South China Morning Post reveals the swift international journey of a similarly lost phone:
“Theft reveals how far mobiles can roam: Most people never see their mobile phones after they are stolen, but Annie Sewell traced her iPhone 3 [stolen from Lan Kwai Fong on Hong Kong Island] to Mong Kok [in Kowloon] and then Mongolia. Whoever had her phone took photos that were automatically uploaded to her iCloud service. But officials could not pinpoint the exact location.”

If you know how to write “second hand mobile phone” in Cantonese, please share. I cheated with Mandarin…
