The stolen iPhone of Baker was not the only one collected from this unlikely site. Since late last year, dozens of people who are angry and angry people have contacted Christmas to report that the stolen iPhone devices were being held there.
Gide’s priest Abi said: “I stopped maintaining counting. Because of the number of people.”
APé said that the victims of the stolen phone had contacted and sent desperate messages via Instagram. One of them appeared on the front door of the church with a police officer.
The thefts that I heard about APé came up and down on the eastern coast – from a Philadelphia Music Festival To a pub in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Reports also came from Atlanta, Washington, DC, and many other cities in Florida and abroad.
APé insists on not running out of the iPhone stealing episode of its church, which is confusing what is really going on.
The reason behind the targeting of criminal groups is that the iPhone devices are very simple: people carry less money these days, and easier than ever selling stolen phones on the black market.
“The phones are mainly in criticism of criminals,” he said.
Baker’s ordeal opens a window in the dark world of iPhone theft rings. It also shows how the demand in China on used phones and its parts helps to fuel the robbery in the United States despite the efforts made by Apple to enhance security on devices.
Experts say, Ground Zero for the Black Market in iPhone is the Chinese city of Shenzhen, which is Mecca Electronics, where merchants are known as the purchase and sale of used phones that have not asked questions. This is where the phones were stolen from many people in the United States Ping for the last time, according to interviews with many victims and online functions by others.
Although it is clear why phone flights end there, it remains a mystery of why many stolen devices flow through Miami.
The answer to another question is more distant: if the phones are not kept in the church, then where are they?
Unconscious accusations
He was in late August when someone contacted Kres for the first time to report that her stolen phone looked there. The Instagram message came from a 27 -year -old woman living in Kissimmee, a city in Florida, about 220 miles from Miami.
The timing was strange. The four -storey Baptist Church, which was built in 1926, was under renewal since 2018 and was still closed to the public.
APé said he did not think much. Church officials were busy preparing to reopen the church in December.
About two weeks later, a woman from North Carolina sent a message on Facebook, frankly, to the Krist fellowship. Its iPhone was stolen in a bar in a rally on September 6, and it was collected from the church after four days.
“It seems that you are all running a process here while” under construction. “
