TT Police Investigate iPhone in Bathroom Case

Phones get lost in the toilet all the time, but this case is a different.

Toilets and iPhones are not a good mix, but in this case Tredyffrin Police say what happened after a phone popped out of a pocket is actually a crime.

Tredyffrin Police were called to an unnamed business in the 200 block of Swedesford just before 6:30 Saturday night after a man said his iPhone had been stolen.

Police say the man reported he had used the men's room and then discovered that his phone had fallen out of his pocket. When he went back to the restroom to get the iPhone it was gone. It's not known how long it took the man to realize his phone had fallen out of his pocket - or what phone he used to call the police about his phone.
