Lost and Found: Singaporeans Share Their Stolen Tech Stories
Losing personal belongings can happen to anyone, but it’s always a shock when it does. Recently, a woman named Vanessa found herself in a surprising situation when her iPad went missing. On her way from Bukit Batok to the airport, she discovered that her beloved device had been stolen.
She posted a TikTok clip on December 3, revealing that her iPad had been tracked to Jurong East. It was a moment of disbelief for her. Vanessa quickly filed a police report, including a picture and description of her 5th-generation purple iPad Air, which held all her university papers, notes, and even some crochet patterns and drawings.
A Plot Twist: From Singapore to India
In a shocking turn of events, Vanessa later discovered that her iPad had made its way to India! Tracking its location, she found it had been sent to an Indian service center and then to someone else’s home. In a light-hearted response, she joked, “Who sold my iPad in India?” The twist had netizens laughing, with some even suggesting that she should fly to India to retrieve her device. Vanessa humorously remarked that her iPad was on a “worldwide tour.”
Another Case of Missing Tech: AirPods in Pasir Panjang
Vanessa isn’t alone in her tech troubles. Another woman recently lost her AirPods at a condo in Pasir Panjang. In September, a similar incident occurred at the National University of Singapore, where a woman named Sherlin tracked her AirPods to the same condo. She even made a TikTok video calling out the person who took them, offering a 20% reward as a thank-you for their return.
“Imagine if someone’s AirPods were stolen in The Foilage. The owner would truly appreciate it if the thief returned them, and I’m willing to give a $10 reward,” she stated. Interestingly, the thief only took the AirPods and left the casing behind. Sherlin even drove to the condo, but without knowing the exact location, her efforts hit a dead end.
