It's an iPhone, any idea if it has a similar function?

How come he remembered to take his phone when he was leaving their house but not his wallet, keys or jacket?

Ah jaysus, here's some context for you so.

He was at a BBQ in that area and said he'd come back to mine after. I was on the opposite side of the city at a friends birthday. Everyone left the BBQ at about 1am but I told him I probably wouldn't be home for an hour. This meant he had some time to kill (it would be pointless getting a taxi all the way out to where I was just to head home) so went for a drunken walk, as you do, and bumped into two friendly drunk lads who asked if he wanted to come back to theirs to kill some time. He rang me to tell me this and then put one of them on the phone to me.

After about 40 mins there he left to get a taxi out to mine.

Stranger things have happened. Now stop accusing my lovely boyfriend of cheating.

What city was this?

Normally in Dublin if you are drunk and bump into any (strange) drunk lads, friendly or not, you get your fuckin' head kicked in.

Eh, no you don't.



This story is a little bit disjointed to say the least OP.

I can understand the going back to strangers gafs - I used to both go back and bring back all manner of nut jobs I collected on a night out, for all manner of reasons - drink, drugs, sex, sometimes just because - so yes it does happen. People do meet strangers and go places with them. We aren't all paranoid of anal rape or cannibalism or whatever the hell some people waste their time worrying about!

What I can't understand is -
A - how do you pay for a taxi without money?
B - how do you "put on" a stranger to ease your girlfriends mind, considering that
C - they are strangers
D - you've lost your phone
E - I also struggle to comprehend why if he has the ability to somehow communicate with these "friendly strangers" - he doesn't just ask for his stuff back.

In conclusion - I think this whole thing is a complete fabrication.

How do any of you meet new people if you're so afraid?! I've gone back to places with people I only met countless times. Male and female. In dozens of cities / towns.

Never have had anything untoward happen.

Tell him to do the following:

Settings > Privacy > Location Services > System Services > Frequent Locations

That should show you were he was, so long as he was there for more than a few mins (and location tracking is turned on!)

(as an aside the amount of information collected on the phone is phenomenal!)

Oh sh1t would you look at that..... Wouldn't wana be up to no good get his phone OP if you dare

The ops fella didn't lose his phone. He could have paid for the taxi using Hailo or got the op to pay for it when he arrived at her gaff. The story sounds believable enough to me mainly for the reason of why would you bother making something like this up?

I asked if there was location history on an iPhone.

* Yes - its in the settings - but it doesnt update itself very often.

* If he took a photo it would be geotagged with the cordinates - this would be your best bet.

* The phone company could also work out the location the call he made from there was from but you wont get that info off them easily.

* There is also a database in the phone you can get to via iFunBox App but this is a much more difficult process and not as accurate anyway as the above.

Yep, there's no way he's going to live a million years. I doubt he'd even live half of that.

Stands to reason his keys and wallet were in his jacket pockets, so he lost them all as a set, rather than individually. Leave the jacket and you leave the lot. Rookie mistake, keys, phone and wallet stay in your pants pockets, you won't lose your pants nine times out of ten, and the one in ten you do your keys and wallet are the least of your concerns.

I never understand people who keep their keys and wallet in their jacket. It's incomprehensible to me. You wear trousers out all year round.....what do they do when it's too hot for a jacket? I know Ireland isn't exactly Florida, temperature-wise, but there are many days when there is, as Phil Collins would say, no jacket required.
What do they do when then go indoors like in a pub? Take off the jacket and reach into it each time they need to go to the bar and then put the wallet back in the jacket when they sit back down?

I keep my phone, a pen and my ciggies in my jacket and that's it. The phone is too cumbersome to be kept in a jeans pocket and when you're trying to fish it out when it rings you invariably hangup on the fucker. Also it will break if you have it in an arse pocket and sit down. Ciggies too will just get crushed in the jeans pocket and a pen will spear your scrotum if you're not careful.

Wallet in a jacket pocket? .....pickpocket's dream.

IF its a smartphone,
worth a few hundred ,the phone company will be able to get the ip adress ,location etc where it is,if its being used for 3g acess, webrowsing, etc
whether they ,ll give this info to your boyfriend is another story .
if the phone was not reset, new sim card put in.
i know someone , their iphone 5 was robbed .
they used app to track it to a building .
But they gave up at that point.
building has 30 flats apartments in it .
IF i had a 500 euro phone i,d insure it.
or buy a standard smartphone 65 euro.

he could walk around the area ,in daytime , sober,
see does he see a familiar house.
THE phone company would have a record of where he was when he phoned you .
if he phoned you from the strangers house .

Phone companys keep records for billing etc this also has some location
data of where the phone call was made from.

i found 3 phones ,powered on on the road, ,in the last 5 years
i rang up the various owner.s,
and gave the phone back ,met the owner,s
or left the phone with someone else to be picked up by the owner.

I don't think the phone company gives out this kind of information unless it's requested by law enforcement as part of a criminal investigation or if it's subpoened.

He didn't lose his phone as was pointed out umpteen times on this thread.

OP if he had no money and got a taxi using Hailo or Lynk can he check that to see where he was collected from?

Then you can use a website that might have something to do with classic ford cars-Ireland.com to see which 'lady' he was seeing.

Wire him up to a lie detector and pepper him spray him in the face every time he tells you more porkies regarding his drunken adventures.

I can assure you that my wallet and its contents are FAR more important and valuable to me than a phone.

Not only that but don't smartphones have location detectors nowadays?
My wallet doesn't come with a built-in GPS tracker and even if it did I'm sure it would lead me to a back alley where the wallet lay, minus cash and cards or course.

OP, you're BF is an idiot and is definitely telling a few lies to cover something up, his story makes no sense at all.

Surely he'd have a general idea where the house is and i'm sure if he saw it he'd remember unless he was catatonic drunk by the time he got the taxi.

How did he pay for the taxi with no money? If he used Hailo saved with his card details then he'll be able to find out the address within two house numbers very easily

"The 2 lads" could have easily been a girl and a bloke, he put the lad on to ease your mind and rode the girl silly afterwards, left his jacket in a hurry to meet you and now can't go back out of fear of being caught.

Thats the bit I find weird...he has absolutely no idea at all where the house is? Like zero clues?? Not even enough to walk about for a while calling into places? even if he wasnt cheating..somethings amiss!!

Why would he have a phone number for them? He rang his missus from his own phone when he was with them and she talked to one of them for a minute.

It seems like she has abandoned thread anyhow.

Yes, yes I do.

If she starts a thread like this it's good manners to update it. It has gained some typical AH responses (typical include those ranging form helpful to the opposite extreme) but nothing abusive particularly, and she seemed to be taking all responses in her stride.

It'd be nice to hear how it ended up and whether he managed to get his stuff back or just cancelled his cards and bought new stuff.

Maybe she stumbled into the strange Bermuda Triangle like estate he was in. Looks like we will never see either of them again:eek:

My boyfriend went back to a house with two guys the other night when he was killing some time to wait to meet up with me as I was out too. (Yes yes, he went home with strangers, he was drunk and now realises it was stupid so save your judgement please )

Anyway these two guys were very friendly and he stayed there for an hour or so and then left. The only thing is in his drunkeness he left his keys, wallet and jacket behind (again.. he's been beating himself up for his stupidity ever since, no need for judgement).

Because he can't remember where the house was exactly he can't figure out how to get back his items. They haven't turned up in the area's local Garda station.

All he has is the guys first name and a general idea of where he lives. Any ideas for how he might get back his things?

Google location history, I have a friend who found his bicycle this way, cycled into Amsterdam, completely forgot where he parked it and re-traced his steps :pac:

For those of you interested, he never did find his things.. He walked around the general area where he was that night but couldn't figure out which house he was in.
Yes, he was THAT drunk (he'd been drinking for 11 or so hours) and yes, he's an absolute eejit. But he got a new bank card and a new key so all is well again. HURRAH.

I generally know where I leave the bike when I drink but often forget to lock it. Uber sad face. I just don't bring the bike with me when drinking nowadays.

And, as I guess it was the most asked question, did he figure out how he lost his wallet but paid for the taxi?
