Dear All,

My iPhone with Serial No. 7V745FCKWH8 has been stolen when I'm in the toilet at TESCO Taman Midah (Cheras) doing 'business'. I hang my jeans on the wall where they mount the nail to hang your pants. I can't see it since the thing is behind you and it's not mounted on the door.

It's happen really fast and when I wear back my jeans, I notice that I couldn't find my iPhone and my wallet. So I get out and waited in front of other toilet door (since the one I use is the last toilet). When someone get out from the toilet, he look like decent guy & doesn't look like someone who have an intention to stole something (I assume this because he look very clean & innocent - my judgment could be wrong also) so I ask him whether there is another guy get out from that toilet before he use it. He also blur blur and he answer yes.

Lost my 1month+ iPhone + my wallet. Make a report to Tesco management & police report.

I just would like to inform anyone here who come across of someone selling the iPhone with the Serial No. 7V745FCKWH8, 1.1.2 OTB with StealthSIM. If someone try to sell it without other accessory, kindly don't buy or report him to the police & also possibly inform me here or PM me.

Thanks you very much.

The box picture + the serial no.

Maybe the story doesn't clear. They only provide a nail on the wall and not on the door. Usually when you do 'business' , you will facing the door and not the wall right? In this case, I hang my jeans on the wall so it is behind me when I'm doing a business. If it in front of me, for sure I will notice if someone try to take something from my pants. I try visualize this with my simple sketching..




The nail is the same height as the partition so someone can easily reach & grab my thing inside the pant when he stand on the toilet bowl. I might see it if i have another eyes behind.

I'm using DiGi and previously I also work with them (dealing with all DiGi services) and never know that they can lock this. Maybe it just me but I already told them to block my phone number.

Please be extra careful, hopefully no other person kena like me...

Get your point already bro, no need to mention it twice. Thank you very much..

Yea. I post it here for me & everyone will extra alert and learn from my mistake. Thanks for all the comment & support

Yeah I plan too. End of month when I receive my bonus. Need to do budgeting 1st since I already do an allocation for other stuff already..

Yes, I do have backup.

Bro actually yes I'm playing with it but when the time I finish with the business, I put it back in the pant and wash my 'thing'. After that I wear back my pant and realize that it's no more there.

So fast the bugger steal it, he must have some special plastic-man power or something. Bugger!!!

Hopefully he didn't stole someone's video cam and record me .. OMG!!!

They can actually. But never heard any telco do it in Malaysia.

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..

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?

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..

Thanks Deuce. I also post a similar topic in eBay Malaysia forum, Lelong & MYMUG as well.

Thank you for all your concern. Just get back from getting my temporary I/C, driving license replacement & phone SIM card. Not have enough time do all in one shot. Will follow up the matter with the Shell petrol station & BCB once I go there.

Anyway here is individual reply.

I'm planning too but wait till end of January when I get my bonus

Usually shopping complex toilet where got covered on the top. Or some might have. In this case it's not covered.

Already made, it's a No. 1 priority.


Already made a police report. Usually police report like this case just for the report sake to get back I/C, driving license etc. They're not going to investigate I think. I don't think they will go all the trouble to find the fella unless a security camera caught it. I will go to the Shell petrol station if they have a record of the guy throwing my AMEX credit card into the dust bin.


I am facing the door lor, but the pants hanged at the wall. Behind me.




It might true also. Maybe the guy investing on the nail or similar thing and stick it on the wall. Take out all the nail on the door. This make the victim no choice except hang it on the wall and could see it when he pang sai

No. I never flash my iPhone outside. I don't like to show off with stuff and always keep it (and anything) inside my pocket.

I believe I'm just being a random victim in this case.

I am thinking of that as well. Worst scenario. Lucky he didn't take my car key. Even though he might not drive it, he might throw the key somewhere else. Double trouble..

Pity me lar..ehehhehee...

Yes. Tesco Taman Midah, Ground floor (beside the food court). It's a last row toilet from the left (the only squat type)


Read the 1st page good enough. Got my sketching some more

USD399, friend bought from New York.

Visit the Shell petrol station whether they have a footage of a guy who throwing my AMEX credit card. Because they didn't install any camera on the back of the petrol station. Luck for the bugger.

Will follow up with the CIMB bank tomorrow whether I can request them to check the camera where the bugger try to withdraw my money at the ATM machine.

Thanks to all the concern...

I wear jeans & belt. Couldn't notice any sound. If not the bugger couldn't run my wallet and iphone..

The toilet is quite busy that time. More than 7 peoples inside the toilet, in and out. I can hear they open and close the door and while they walking.
