A Christmas Miracle At Mt Pleasant

During the bustling Christmas season, one act of kindness turned a near disaster into a heart-warming story of gratitude. A local shopper at Mt Pleasant Shopping Centre was plunged into panic after losing his iPhone, which contained all his cards and holiday cash. With Christmas just days away, the thought of cancelling everything and losing precious family moments was overwhelming.

Thanks to Jade, a security guard at the centre, his compassion and quick thinking turned things around for the local shopper. When the distressed shopper approached him, he didn’t hesitate to help. Walking alongside him, they retraced his steps, searching high and low for the missing phone.

When their efforts seemed fruitless, Jade then had a brilliant idea.

He offered his own iPhone, allowing him to log in to iCloud and use the “Find My iPhone” feature. Together, they followed the map, navigating the busy shopping centre. Despite juggling work calls and handling mischievous scooter riders, Jade was committed to assist and help the shopper find his phone.

At one point, he even left the shopper with his phone while assisting another woman with her wheelchair, and when he returned, they continued the search.

Soon after, the missing phone was found, intact with all its contents.

Thanks to Jade’s kindness and trust, the shopper and his family woke up to a “beautiful Christmas morning”. In a display of his gratitude, he plans to return to the centre to thank him personally, perhaps with a small gift.
