so the story is quite long but now is KNY so i am quite free so here we go.
after the phone traveled around a few orussey shops than it went towards hanoi street along russiam boulevard to another shop/maybe the home of the original phone buyer, the battery was charging and the phone was removed from what i believed was a bag. Some poster recommended me to scare the guys with something ghostly so since i thought the phone gone forever i decided to have fun,
anytime someone unlocked the screen the phone sent me secretly a "selfie" of them and this time the light was good enough for a clear photo.
after i bit of thinking i decided to open Photoshop and even if my skills with it are quite basic i googled an horror movie poster and cut pasted gouged eyes as well as some blood dripping from the face over the guy secret selfie and set it as lock screen background. than i asked one of my khmer friends to record something along the lines "come to me i want your soul" but i am not sure of the translation. anyway the phone once having the guys horror picture set begun to repeat in loop the creepy sentence. soon after another selfie of the guy pooped up in my pc. unfortunately the photo was taken before he could actually show a reaction to the photo, a minute later another photo appears on the pc this time 4 Cambodian people are staring at the screen with creeped out faces including an older lady.
all this time the listening option was on so my friend actually caught the names of 3 out of 4 of them.
at this point things where funny enough to Photoshop the group selfie as well, it took me a bit of time, especially since i had to make it realistic and we had to find a creepy khmer font for write their names.
my friend changed the voice to something along the lines "you are with me know..." once the new photo was set. they did indeed come to check the phone again and we set it as impossibke to turn off, or silence the voice or turn the screen black for maximise creepiness. unfortunately that backfired as the battery was removed soon after.
so i went back to handle some work email and my friend left as it was quite late.
before getting to sleep my phone was still dead but i devised a way to make the phone even more worthless to them that it already was so after a bit of google research a found out that under setting -> accessibility- > invert colours you can make you phone look like as if the screen under the glass got seriously damaged. so i did that plus changing lock screen to an actual damaged screen image (not cracked just that kind of damage from leaked liquid below screen) and just left the text : call number xxx reward xx for return the phone. as originally was. no ghosts. (had to leave the pc on overnight so in case they opened the phone the new screen and message would be changed)
even if the phone now is not worth much it uses an expensive almoled screen which costs almost as much to replace as to buy another second-hand phone.
so new morning the call finally arrives, same people from before saying they found the phone on the ground and want the reward. i met them at a cafe near my home, pointed out the broken screen and the missing micro sd 64gb (which might have been taken at the very beginning) and told them i dont want it anymore. ended up paying them a much lower reward for the apparently broken phone as they didnt want to keep it.
thats the story,
sorry for the bad English i wrote this on the phone in a hurry.
