Yishun restaurant threatens police report if stolen phone not returned — thief warned by Singapore news

Yishun Eatery Fires a Clock‑Tic Thief into the Hot Seat

In a jaw‑dropping drop‑the‑phone drama, a gold‑haired mugger was caught on camera snatching a cellphone from the countertop at Sawangwan Thai Cuisine on the night of Oct 30. The restaurant’s manager, Sanford Lim, is sending the burglar a stern ultimatum: return the stolen phone by 3 pm on Monday, Nov 1, or face a police report.

Behind the Scenes

  • 8:05 pm Incident: The phone was left unattended while staff prepped dinner orders.
  • Unlimited Backup Plan? Lim says he doesn’t care if the thief planned it or just sprang on the opportunity – he wants a chance to make things right.
  • Stakeholders: The customer’s orders were run through the very phone that got sandwiched into the thief’s palms.

Manager’s Tweet‑Not‑Tweet

Lim posted a clip on Facebook showing the photo‑bully in action. The clip’s caption warned, “If you’re one of those people who thinks you’re an overnight swagger, we’ll give you a shot. But it’s your choice.”

In an interview with Lianhe Zaobao, he added that the kitchen crew was too busy to react when the phone went missing.

The Waiting Game

When asked by AsiaOne on the same Monday, Lim measured out his patience: “He hasn’t turned up with the phone yet. Maybe he doesn’t read the news.” He assures he’ll keep to the 3pm deadline, no matter how eager the thief is for a free ride.

Public Reaction

Netizens have boxed in Lim with calls to report the incident to police ASAP. Some say the manager should cut his mercy card and backtrack to the law agency.

All in all, this is a classic case of “snag the device, spice the business.” The waiting list for the thief’s fate has enlarged, and the phones have got one more slobbery hero — the manager’s stern deadline.

Yishun Grocery Store Drama Turns into a Heart‑warming Comeback Tale

It might sound like a plot twist straight out of a comedy, but real life has a knack for throwing the most unexpected storylines our way. In an ordinary June day in Yishun, a local grocery store witnessed a theft of $800, only for the event to morph into a triumphant apology and a surprising full‑refund that ended up trending worldwide.

The Heist That Everyone Watch For

Back in the valley of Yishun, a food store known for its friendly aisles and price‑checks was suddenly the center of drama when a customer walked out with a bag full of cash—$800 in all. The shopkeeper, feeling blindsided and understandably annoyed, made a post on Facebook to ask—just asking—for the return of the missing money.

Fast-forward to the internet’s delightful chaos:

  • The story went viral as people from all walks of life shared the post.
  • Commenters—some in shock, some in amusement—began to speculate about the thief’s identity.
  • Not all memes were mean‑spirited; many felt for the victimed shop owner.

The Unexpected Candidate Wearing the Mask of Parole

One of those who harshly awaited the culprit’s identity turned out to be a man who’d recently pulled a fistful of cash in a crime. He owned a small coffee shop, had a penchant for the hazardous side of entrepreneurship, and, given that his booking details were publicly available, it wasn’t a stretch to guess his crime was tied to this burglary.

Three weeks after the incident, an email arrived at the jungle trap store. Inside, he apologized—yes, an apology that is as rare in coin‑stolen situations as a decent cup of coffee in the city during winter—and sent a message that his conscience struck a chord. Moreover, he returned the entire amount to the owner, penning, “Let’s pay forward what you tried to take from me.”

Social Media’s “Megalane” Lies

We knew the “viral” hashtags from the story’s sides: theft, burglary, stealing, TikTok and viral TikTok. Yet, it was an emotional moment after a birthday party that travelled beyond what’s expected on the internet. The lack of a defamation lawsuit could be explained by the fact the only permission grant we deemed relevant was from an actively banking bank account. The composer’s statement indicates the marriage was the final decision—a lovely cloak that made a universal seal for these stories to avoid offending people.

Be Sure to Read the Time

We see that the key part of the law is when the person made a Facebook post, the “post” could be a non-liness reason and might be useful for understanding under jurist-discovery. The editor maintains that the law is about the story’s detail. Because we comply, the advertisement of the blogger to record the offending form — we advise you to read the dismal content
