He then checked his old phone, which is connected to iCloud under the same account, and found that it was moving.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-secondary pt-md text-18 font-normal leading-1.5 text-grayscale-800\">The iPhone&#8217;s location was shown to be Block 462 Sembawang Drive in Spring Lodge, so M&#8217;s husband made his way down and arrived at around 9.20am.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-secondary pt-md text-18 font-normal leading-1.5 text-grayscale-800\">The Stomper recounted: &#8220;My husband kept calling his phone and a lady answered, claiming that she did not pick up earlier as she did not know how to do so. He felt relieved and spoke to her in Malay.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-secondary pt-md text-18 font-normal leading-1.5 text-grayscale-800\">&#8220;My husband said, &#8216;Aunty, you are holding my phone&#8217; and &#8216;Can I get it back?&#8217; as he was still tracking the location.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-secondary pt-md text-18 font-normal leading-1.5 text-grayscale-800\">&#8220;The aunty kept saying she was at work in Punggol and didn&#8217;t want to provide her location or talk further. She also told him she would only be back in the afternoon and would pass the phone to him then.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-secondary pt-md text-18 font-normal leading-1.5 text-grayscale-800\">&#8220;My husband told her that if she had mistakenly taken the phone, no worries, just hand it back.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-secondary pt-md text-18 font-normal leading-1.5 text-grayscale-800\">However, the woman ended the call and switched off the phone instead, alleged M.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-secondary pt-md text-18 font-normal leading-1.5 text-grayscale-800\">Suspecting that the woman had taken his phone and was unwilling to return it, M&#8217;s husband lodged a police report at around 10.30am.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"mb-[-8px] mt-lg font-primary text-22 font-bold leading-1.5\">Last seen&#8230; in JB?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"font-secondary pt-md text-18 font-normal leading-1.5 text-grayscale-800\">M and her husband are not hopeful about getting his phone back, and shared more bizarre findings with Stomp.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-secondary pt-md text-18 font-normal leading-1.5 text-grayscale-800\">The aunty in question appeared to have taken a picture with the phone in Woodlands at 8.14am.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-image-inline mb-md mt-lg flex items-center justify-center\">\n<figure><picture><source media=\"(min-width: 991px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/stomp\/ca7ba867cf55e5e5f3da443fdcfe53619e6cbc7cad90045833168f847f28f3ee\/phone.jpg?w=360&amp;f=webp 360w, https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/stomp\/ca7ba867cf55e5e5f3da443fdcfe53619e6cbc7cad90045833168f847f28f3ee\/phone.jpg?w=480&amp;f=webp 480w, https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/stomp\/ca7ba867cf55e5e5f3da443fdcfe53619e6cbc7cad90045833168f847f28f3ee\/phone.jpg?w=720&amp;f=webp 720w, https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/stomp\/ca7ba867cf55e5e5f3da443fdcfe53619e6cbc7cad90045833168f847f28f3ee\/phone.jpg?w=960&amp;f=webp 960w\"\/><source media=\"(max-width: 990px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/stomp\/ca7ba867cf55e5e5f3da443fdcfe53619e6cbc7cad90045833168f847f28f3ee\/phone.jpg?w=360&amp;f=webp 360w, https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/stomp\/ca7ba867cf55e5e5f3da443fdcfe53619e6cbc7cad90045833168f847f28f3ee\/phone.jpg?w=480&amp;f=webp 480w, https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/stomp\/ca7ba867cf55e5e5f3da443fdcfe53619e6cbc7cad90045833168f847f28f3ee\/phone.jpg?w=720&amp;f=webp 720w, https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/stomp\/ca7ba867cf55e5e5f3da443fdcfe53619e6cbc7cad90045833168f847f28f3ee\/phone.jpg?w=960&amp;f=webp 960w\"\/><source media=\"(max-width: 763px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/stomp\/ca7ba867cf55e5e5f3da443fdcfe53619e6cbc7cad90045833168f847f28f3ee\/phone.jpg?w=360&amp;f=webp 360w, https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/stomp\/ca7ba867cf55e5e5f3da443fdcfe53619e6cbc7cad90045833168f847f28f3ee\/phone.jpg?w=480&amp;f=webp 480w, https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/stomp\/ca7ba867cf55e5e5f3da443fdcfe53619e6cbc7cad90045833168f847f28f3ee\/phone.jpg?w=720&amp;f=webp 720w, https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/stomp\/ca7ba867cf55e5e5f3da443fdcfe53619e6cbc7cad90045833168f847f28f3ee\/phone.jpg?w=960&amp;f=webp 960w\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"mx-auto block max-h-full max-w-full object-contain\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/stomp\/ca7ba867cf55e5e5f3da443fdcfe53619e6cbc7cad90045833168f847f28f3ee\/phone.jpg?w=360&amp;f=webp 360w, https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/stomp\/ca7ba867cf55e5e5f3da443fdcfe53619e6cbc7cad90045833168f847f28f3ee\/phone.jpg?w=480&amp;f=webp 480w, https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/stomp\/ca7ba867cf55e5e5f3da443fdcfe53619e6cbc7cad90045833168f847f28f3ee\/phone.jpg?w=720&amp;f=webp 720w, https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/stomp\/ca7ba867cf55e5e5f3da443fdcfe53619e6cbc7cad90045833168f847f28f3ee\/phone.jpg?w=960&amp;f=webp 960w\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/stomp\/ca7ba867cf55e5e5f3da443fdcfe53619e6cbc7cad90045833168f847f28f3ee\/phone.jpg?w=960&amp;f=webp\"\/><\/picture><figcaption id=\"figcaption\"><span>PHOTO:STOMP<!-- -->\u00a0<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"font-secondary pt-md text-18 font-normal leading-1.5 text-grayscale-800\">&#8220;The lady took a selfie on the bus.
