How much can the loss of an iPhone 5 cost? The answer is a lot, if you ask the unfortunate 27-year-old from Thessaloniki, who fell "victim" of a cunning taxi driver. The girl went by taxi to the Thessaloniki airport to welcome her boyfriend who was arriving in the city.
The unfortunate incident occurred during her return trip, on the Macedonia Airport - Kalamaria route, when the 27-year-old M.D. used a taxi to travel from the airport's international arrivals area.
Unfortunately for her, on the way her expensive phone fell on the taxi mat, without her realizing it. As soon as she realized it, she started calling all the taxi companies in Thessaloniki, but without any result and without any owner or driver having declared anything. At the same time, the young woman called her mobile phone throughout the day and while she was ringing, no one answered.
After the young woman realized that perhaps the driver wanted to keep the mobile phone, she took advantage of the operating system capabilities provided by Apple and declared it lost, so that the system would not let anyone use the phone.
As soon as the taxi driver realized that he could not use the mobile phone, he declared it lost and the girl was informed by a call from the Radiotaxi company. However, the skilled taxi driver still did not give up. In his communication with the girl, he demanded a ransom in order to give it back to her, as she herself reports to prismanews.gr!
Desperate, the girl asked her boyfriend to intervene and the meeting was arranged at a central hotel in the city. The taxi driver arrived with the mobile phone, but remained adamant about handing it over without payment.
“I won’t give you anything without money, this mobile phone costs 800 euros. Give me something for my trouble,” were the taxi driver’s words, as M.D. stated to prismanews.gr.
Unable to do anything different and after much negotiation, they gave the taxi driver 50 euros and the girl's incredible suffering came to an end.
