On a scale of 1 to 10, how scary is losing your smartphone with all your contacts, pictures and data? The stuff of nightmares, right? But what if you find it a day later with the gallery full of photos of the thief? Yes, this happened to 20-year-old Zackrydz Rodzi from Malaysia.
According to BBC, he woke up on Saturday and was unable to locate his phone. He said, “There was no sign of robbery. The only thing on my mind was is it some kind of sorcery.” The next day, his father noticed a monkey, so they decided to call up the number and follow the ringtone. They found the phone in the jungle behind their backyard with monkey selfies and some pretty decent nature photography.
Something yang korang takkan jumpa setiap abad. Semalam pagi tido bangun bangun tengahari phone hilang. Cari cari satu rumah geledah sana sini semua takde then last last jumpa casing phone je tinggal bawah katil tapi phonenya takde. Sambung bawah. pic.twitter.com/0x54giujnY

Standard UK quoted him adding, “But later when I opened the gallery I ran out of words. [I have] no idea how to describe it because one of the impossible things just happened. I shook and laughed so hard and quickly ran towards my parents to tell them. There is no way that it’s a prank cause there’s no one else in the house except me and my parents. Plus the evidence of the monkey selfies is too strong.”
