Russian Andrey Cacaev filed a report to local police officers, saying he had lost his $1,200-iPhone 13 Pro Max while walking on the street in the Ngu Hanh Son District, the city’s Department of Tourism said.

Based on camera surveillance, police discovered that Cacaev had dropped his iPhone while walking on Quach Thi Trang Street and returned the phone to him.

On Monday night, South Korean tourist Kim Ji Soo took a Grab taxi to the Son Tra Night Market but he left his iPhone XS in the car.

He later sought help from the local police to find his phone. A day later, police retrieved his iPhone and returned it to him.

"I have received my phone. I'd like to say thank you for the Grab taxi driver and police here," Soo wrote in a note to the police. "I appreciate this, sir!"
