Hi TS,
sorry to hijack this thread.

Everyone,
My iphone 3gs oso kena rompak in kepong area.
Now the thief got caught according to police and police department is holding my phone as evidence.
How can i get it back? Wait until the case closes first? i heard that there's a form to retrieve my stuffs back, is that correct?
I am really frustrating now.
Any good suggestions will be appreciated greatly.

Thanks for your comment!!!

The inspector just keeps telling me to wait and wait and wait...i am not sure if he's really doing something about my case, he even took my ic and driving license as evidence, i mean can he actually do that?

I am really upset...but after knowing your's wife case, i feel lighter now. However, you were saying that they held on to the phone for 3 days which means 3 days in court or totally they held the phone in police station for 3 days? For my case, it's more than 3 days already and i think it's still held in the police station.
Do you still remember what that form is called? I think it's called form 413 right?

I used that phone for less than 2 days.
Now it's being held by the police, not sure if they will give it back to me....soon...

Ic...Now my iphone is being held by the police, shouldn't they give me a receipt or something? to prove that they actually have my staff with them?
Thanks.

I did ask actually.
Now the police only gives me back my ic and license, however when I ask that police whether i should sign something like "receipt" or not...the inspector said "tak payah"~~~

And when i wanted to get back the phone, he said it's evidence, can only be released after the case is "closed"!
When i asked him about the form 413, he said no such thing at first, he even asked me who says got such form called form 413...
Afterwards, when i asked again, he said "kalau saya serah handphone itu kepada kamu, boleh kamu tanggungjawab tak? jika kamu kena rompak lagi, hilang atau apa-apa, boleh kamu tanggung tak?"...and i answered him "boleh"...he still dun wan give me back.
hai...really getting frustrated with this inspector.
What should i do? Wait???

The inspector told me that the case is going to last for 1 or 2 years....damn...i wont speak to him again, i will speak to someone else.....at first, he told me that the he can submit pictures of that phone, but now he telling me diff story...he said small portable devices cannot submit picture, only cars can.....I am so sicked!!! He's changing so fast...I dunno what his intention is....trying to own that phone or? whatever it is, i will go for someone else...

Ya, according to him, the phone will become evidence~~~But it just does not make sense if my phone is held by police for 1 or 2 years.

I reported the case at Balai Kepong.

By the way, anyone knows how to lock down the iphone remotely in case i cant get back the phone? To make sure noone can use that phone as well...
Can maxis or apple do that for me?
Thanks.

The case takes one year to close? I don't think that the criminal will be held in custody for one year until the case closes and the judge condemn how many years right?

Ya, at first, the inspector said can submit the pictures of the phone then release the phone to me, on the same conditions as you said, but next time i saw him, he changed his story, he said no such thing, he said small portable devices cannot submit pictures.

Ya...I actually think of that too...But honestly, i don't think it's that easy to see those higher rank police, even if i manage to see them, maybe they will say the same thing or just tell me to refer to THAT inspector.

Ya...i wish i've never found my phone back...because i really have wasted a lot of time on going to police station and this and that.
Thanks to our mighty police forces.

Added on August 26, 2009, 6:33 pmI've been thinking of approaching the superior of that inspector...but I bet that they will be saying the same bullshit to me.
However, i don't even know who is the superior of that inspector and how should i approach...*sigh*

Hi everyone,

i got back my phone already.

Finally i could talk to his superior and his superior tells him to return the phone to me.
However, he's still a sucker because he writes my phone market value as 5000 so if i lost the phone again, i have to pay 5000 to court.

Now i have to think twice first before carrying Iphone and going somewhere.

Thank you guys for sharing your experience especially Bro Havocx.

Ya, I will. Thanks

Yup, need to pay 5k to court because considering now the phone actually belongs to court until the case closed.


Ya, hopefully that the case will be closed ASAP so I don't have to worry about that 5k anymore.
BTW, that cocky inspector did tell me the reason that he didn't want to surrender the phone to me in the 1st place, it's because he does not want to waste any time on going to court and this and that, and i think he writes the phone market value as 5k on purpose, because he told me that if he writes it as 300, he knows i won't care about the phone.
LOL.
