An Edinburgh student has shared how she was forced to track down a thief that stole her lost phone and tried to sell it.
Sophie Lam, 22, who is an interior design student at Heriot-Watt, lost her phone in the Meadows at around 9am on Thursday November 3. She tried to call the phone to see if anyone had picked it up but it was answered by a man who she claims was acting suspiciously.
She alleges that the man stupidly answered the phone and claimed to have left it on the bench at the park but he became squirrelly when pressed as to how he could have left the phone behind and be speaking to Sophie as she called.
