He got it back!! If this iPhone could talk, it would share with us all the unbelievable story of 5 days in captivity. Who knows the crazy tales it would tell, from its abduction, a trip being smuggled off the island and over to Dar, being sold, allegedly being involved with some undercover police sting of sorts, having been forcibly and carelessly pried open to try to get the darn thing to work, receiving bruises, scratches, loss of limbs (ok-buttons) and many battle scars, making its way on a ferry back to the island and then a trip to a village where its “interim owner” found out it was worth much more than he ever knew, and finally resulting in a debate between police, our local friends, and the “owner” regarding reward money. The journey came to an end after many confusing phone calls and a trip to the local police station, where Jason was joyfully reunited with it!
Although in the end we had to pay reward money and transit costs, and the iPhone is quite beat up and plundered, it happily chugs along and seems to be working just fine. A miracle? Quite possibly. We are honestly still in shock that we ever saw it again. Though Annikah knew – she told us everyday while praying that we’d get it back! Faith like a child…
Thank you to all who prayed…more to come as details pan out!
