In short:

Guy gets phone stolen
One year later he gets pictures of some chinese guy with oranges
Social media makes this go viral
People help him find orange bro
They meet in China and both are celebrities for a week

Man, that's crazy.

Think of the frequent flyer points that phone earned. LOL

Also, someone should photo shop joker onto an orange with the caption, 'why so serious?"

Orange dude in China should smile more. I would never buy his oranges.

[edit] nvm, seems pretty nice

A coworker had his cellphone stolen from a shoppers drug mart last week. He was using a shared computer and a guy came and sat down while he stepped away to ask a question. He came back to the computer and explained he was using it and the guy left. Turns out the guy swiped his phone as he left.

He used his wifes IPhone to log into the find my iPhone app. Sure enough the little dot was moving away from the location. He didn't have a car, so he used a car2go to chase the guy. It was an older guy who appeared to be living in his car. He confronted him at a red light and the guy said he didn't have his phone. So he called 911 and the operator told him to stop following the car. As he was giving up on the chase a cop happened to pull the car over because his license plate was covered up in dirt. He was able to get it back by telling the cop what happened.

ORANGES

Maybe one day I'll find my brother orange....


That was a great story though!

Really good read. I thought it was going to be more of a story of humiliating the dude that has the phone. Complete 180 of what I was thinking.

Coworker should had chilled with brother homeless

Cool story. I guess the thieves aren't wiping them now because of them being locked to apple ID's. I skimmed through the story but did Matt ever unlock the phone since he bricked it?

Find my iPhone needs an 'explode now' option.

Great that it turned out to be a happy story about mainland China for once.

Damn, I'd be trying to cash in on that 'fame' for sure
