Lost and Found
2016-11-30

A Jindao DRC employee spotted a mini IPad in the compound on 24 October and turned it in to the Property Management Department office. The Property Management Department staff thought it would be easy to find the owner, as the screen protection photo featured an Arab-looking child. However, after making numerous inquiries, we seemed to find that the protagonist was unknown to any of the Arab tenants or their children in the DRC.

The Property Management Department immediately posted a message on the DRC’s Bank of China E-Community App, seeking information about the owner. Two Arab families came to the Department to check on the item but both said it didn’t belong to them, adding that their IPADs went missing outside of the DRC. It was not until the afternoon of 26 October when a Congolese tenant came with her child to claim the iPad. The Property Management Department staff thought that could be just another effort in vain. But everyone was surprised when the youngster switched on the ipad after keying in the password. When asked whether the screen protection photo was anyone she knew, the little girl said that she actually didn’t know anything about the person in the photo and used the photo just for fun. Her answer resuled in peals of laughter from the Property Management Department employees who said, “The photo gave us quite a hard time to look for you!” 

The young owner thanked the Property Management Department as well as the Bank of China App for helping her regain the ipad and wrote a thank-you letter later on.
