Have you ever lost something that was very important to you?(If you have a picture of the item please share it with us)

I lost a mobile phone 😭 it was precious to me because I bought it so new and three months later it got lost. I was at my place of work and then suddenly someone came to buy something I dropped the phone inside the cupboard and closed it to attained to him, he picked so many items to buy and me I was already existed that I'm going to make a lot of sales that day, little did I know it was a scam to either stole my phone or money.

So after selecting lots of items I arranged everything for him, then suddenly he said he forgot his wallet so he need to check in to the nearest bank to withdrew money. Before now I didn't know he collected my phone from the cupboard as at the time I was busy packaging his items. Oh I can't forget that incident till today it was really hurting, till today he hasn't returned and I can't recall such face.

It been years so I don't have a picture of it

What emotions did you experience upon losing the item?

I cried out loud I knew how I saved to buy that phone, it was my first android phone and I didn't enjoy it for over 3 months suddenly it was gone. My pay at that work place for even six months couldn't have buy the phone, I was so downhearted to a point a was sick I couldn't even eat when I remember how I got the phone and how long it will take me to get a new one.

Really sad

It took me 3 years to get a new one it wasn't easy to save again for it.

Did you do anything to find it?What was the result?

Yes I did, I reported it at the police station so they can tracked the phone, but to no avail. It was tracked but their location didn't appear we keep tracking for 2 months but it wasn't successful.

What steps do you follow to avoid losing such precious items in the future?

That was the first and I think it will be the last a mobile device lost from my hand. I've been very careful with my device especially now that i have a baby so I won't concentrate playing with her and lost my phone so I go out with a small bag that I put my phone inside. Then while I'm outside I know the places I bring out my phone so I will not shed tears again.

I know how my pocket is so I don't want to lost any precious thing again in times like this.

I will like to invite @mesols @adylinah and @ubongudofot to share with us their story of losing a precious thing.
