糟心!丢失的手机难以找回
糟心!丢失的手机难以找回


An assistant who lost his £799 iPhone 8 on a night out tracked it down to a local police station using a GPS app, but officers said they still couldn’t find it. Thomas Holdroyd can see the mobile is somewhere inside the police station thanks to Apple's Find My iPhone app. 
But the 30-year-old has now waited for 11 days to get his much-needed phone back and says he's frustrated that police are keeping it. Mr Holdroyd joked,“I'm thinking about breaking into the police station to find it.”
He had been out for drinks with friends on February 9 when he noticed that his phone was missing. After returning home, the 30-year-old used Apple's Find My iPhone feature to track it down. When the GPS system showed it was at the police station, Mr Holdroyd thought his problem had been solved.
Officers told Mr Holdroyd to visit the police station on Saturday. But on his first visit, he was told to return on Monday, as the property office was closed. On a second visit, the officer still could not return his mobile. Clearly the Find My iPhone app still shows the police station as the phone's last recorded position.
Mr Holdroyd said, “They didn't ask for any identification or anything, even though I had brought the receipt for it with me. They showed me two phones, but neither of them was mine. I knew it was in the building as Find My iPhone showed it was the last known location of the phone. When I returned, this officer was a lot more helpful. He did a lot more looking for me but still couldn't find it. I waited for a day but didn't hear anything, so I got on the phone to the station but they still can't find it. Now I just want my phone back.”
