What would you do if you picked up your mobile phone? Contact the owner? Hand it over to the police? Ignore it? Or do you have a "crooked" idea?
On November 28, the Longmatan police uncovered a theft case. After a 60-year-old aunt picked up someone else's mobile phone, she discovered that the phone did not have a lock screen password. When she saw that the WeChat change contained more than 5,100 yuan, she turned around and took her daughter to buy clothes. I spent all the money in WeChat on my mobile phone and was eventually caught by the police!
(Seeing this, are you sure you haven’t set a lock screen password yet?)
“Well, let’s do it. My legs are weak. I usually earn some hard money by working as a porter. I have spent more than 5,100 yuan on it. That's my grandson's living expenses."
On November 25, Longmatan police received a call from a citizen called He, saying that he took a bus and got off at the Hongxing Road bus station and found that his mobile phone was missing. No one answered the phone number. After logging into WeChat on the newly purchased mobile phone, I found that all the money in WeChat had been swiped.
After receiving the call, the police immediately launched an investigation and found that the mobile phone WeChat had 8 consumption records at a clothing store in Jiangyang District that day, with a total expenditure of more than 5,100 yuan. The police quickly went to the clothing store where the payment was collected for inspection and verification, and successfully identified two suspicious women.
On November 27, the police successfully captured the suspect Wang (pseudonym). According to Wang’s account, after picking up the mobile phone near the Hongxing Community on the 25th, they found that the phone did not have a lock screen password and found that there was more than 5,100 yuan in WeChat change. Then he had a wrong idea.
Later, Wang found his daughter and concealed the truth about picking up the mobile phone (claiming, "I tricked my boyfriend into buying clothes for us, so he gave me the mobile phone to buy directly"), and her daughter believed it.
Immediately, the mother and daughter went to a clothing store in Jiangyang District and purchased 2 winter jackets and 2 pairs of winter pants. They scanned the code 8 times through the store's card machine (WeChat password-free payment supports single orders of less than or equal to 1,000 yuan). You can pay directly, and you do not need to enter a password for confirmation during the payment) until you have squandered all the WeChat change and turn off your phone.
At present, Wang has been subject to criminal coercive measures by the public security organs on suspicion of theft, and the case is under further processing.
Picking up other people’s forgotten items and refusing to return them is an act of misappropriation. If a certain amount is reached, it may constitute a crime of embezzlement. Picking up a mobile phone to steal other people’s money is an illegal act. If a certain amount is reached, it may constitute a crime of theft.
