Even if this proves to be an April Fools Prank, this is one of the best - and most heartwarming - stories you'll read today. It concerns a guy who had his iPhone stolen from a cafe in New York, then starts receiving images taken from the phone and uploaded to the iCloud, from which he gathers his phone has made it's way to China. From here he goes on to use social media to track down his phone, and in the end flies to China where he's become something of a minor celebrity, to have the new owner of the stolen phone fete him, promote products, meet fans (!!??) and basically have the time of his life. Well worth the 10 minutes it'll take you to read it, and if you ever have your phone stolen, hold your breath and hope - it might not be as bad a thing as you think...
