Cell Phone Missing

The regular life experienced a jerk the day before yesterday. Mukund, who shares the room with me, lost his mobile phone. Well, he didn’t lose it; it was stolen. That too not in a bus or a train, it was stolen right in our room from the plastic shelf placed between our beds. He had switched off the mobile at night before going to sleep. So we could not just make a call and locate it using its ringtone, if it was still in the room hidden somewhere. An energetic pursuit for the cell followed. All beds were turned around, all bags and shelves checked and re-check but when nothing was of any luck, the theft was confirmed. Mukund was looking in such a mess that if one of us was playing a prank, he would have returned it by the time the search was over and no hope was left.

After quite a good amount of brainstorming, all the suspicion fell over the maidservant. It was unlikely for a normal thief to take a cell phone from one of the bedrooms when watches and cell phones were lying unattended in the drawing room. Moreover it was guaranteed that the theft was made in the morning (when the maid generally comes) since two guys were up till 5am watching soccer matches. So as the situation and Mukund’s wrath demanded, the maid was fired.

However that doesn’t get us any closer to get the cell phone back. If anyone has got any idea regarding what can be done in this regard, please give your comments. It is a CDMA (Reliacne Infocomm) cell phone. It has been reported as stolen and so it is almost useless, as you can’t change the SIM card unlike GSM phones.
