I think you should alert the trade zone..
In case the thief tries to sell it here.

Have you observed the toilet booth again? Isn't it weird for someone to know this kind of trick? My guess is that this thief is a frequent, so you should ask the TESCO security if there has been cases similar like this.

Next, you should try to go to any nearby phone shops around that area. MY guess is that the thief would usually sell off your phone for the money....they dont care about Steve Jobs and his famous brands...they just want the money. Good luck to you.

Third, with your police report, inquire the SECURITY to watch their taped surveilance camera. That should at least identify or see the suspects.

My gosh I feel for you.
How can you be so careless ?

You guys should activate the phone lock features. It will prompt fer a password after sliding the lock. The bugger can't use the phone.

Keep a look-out fer other buy sell forums too. or ask around the dealer shops at TESCO. You might found ur wallet + id etc. in the dustbin nearby. Sorry fer the lost.

OK will do.


Yes, I go there twice to check again. I already ask the TESCO security & staff there and they never heard this kind of case. Maybe not reported I'm not sure but they're not aware of it. No security camera around the toilet area. For information, the toilet that I use it the Ground floor just beside the food court there.

Not sure about the thief try to sell my phone because when I call the Maybank to block my credit card, the Maybank staff check on my latest credit usage, someone already use my AMEX card at the Shell petrol station Taman Midah (it's just behind the TESCO). I went to the Shell and ask the owner regarding my card. They told me that their pump attendant saw one guy throwing my broken AMEX (it's already broken actually but still can be use) into the dustbin. The petrol station owner wonder why and try to test the card, and it's still working.

I dunno where the bugger will sell the iPhone, most probably here or to someone that reading this forum? Hope the fella will show up in this 1-2 days...

Good luck for him..

wonder how he can use ur cc without knowing the passcode...

He's not using it. It's the petrol station owner who try to swipe test it since the pump attendant pass it to him when seeing the bugger throwing my credit card into the dustbin. The credit card a bit broken but it's still can be use.

You doesn't need a passcode when swiping credit card right?

ya how he manage to use ur cc without passcode?

anyway can u give me some details which what race what age of person doing this?maybe i can do something for u..

i got a few tailou there which got connection with local black market stuff.

Wow, this is interesting....at least you got a lead. Why dont you try asking SHELL to view their security camera? Perhaps you can see his car plate?

Bro, dunno what race but it doesn't matter right? I'm not trying to hide anything but anyone can be a thief. I could PM you but not here. Young guys actually, riding a bike.

Swiping doesn't required any passcode. If you use it at petrol station, shopping complex or paying for anything.. you just swipe it... no need to input any passcode. Passcode most likely using when you try to get cash advance from an ATM..

Added on January 8, 2008, 1:39 amYea, I'm just late a few minutes becoz the Security staff at TESCO super slow doing report. In the end I left them without getting any result.

I will try to go to the petrol station again and ask them for the security camera video. I know they have it but not sure if they monitor outside of the petrol station area as well. And when the bugger try to withdraw my money from ATM using my ATM card, there's should be a video too....

I will follow up this thing tomorrow. Thanks for the suggestion..

Hey Man sorry to hear that you lost your iPhone..

have you made police report?

Damn... let this be a gd lesson to all of us, I always hold on to my phone when in "business" mode... no idea why.... not even my wallet but my phone... and yes always put on the passcode lock too, that wud block the phone good.

Is the police doing anything? Any news from their side?

My gosh, well I guess there's a first time for everything. I'm really sorry for you, mate. If we ever catch this dude, you can bet on it that we'll LITERALLY nail him up and bash him to bits Once again, you have my sympathies for this very unfortunate event. It's not really your fault for placing your pants where it was......

Not a myth.
