According to news from this website on July 8, the topic "People who found a mobile phone and lied about losing it were ordered to pay 8,500 yuan" became a hot topic on Weibo today. As of the time of publication of this website, the related topic has been read 257,000 times, ranking second in real-time popularity.

According to the media "Red Star News", in February this year, a cake shop employee, Chen, accidentally lost the Apple iPhone he just bought when he was out delivering cakes. After contacting the finder Deng, Chen expressed his willingness to pay a thank you fee of 1,000 yuan and hoped that the other party would return the phone.

However, Deng asked Chen to pay 5,000 yuan, otherwise he would not return it. In desperation, Chen called the police, and the police from the police station went to Deng's home with Chen to negotiate, but Deng was still unwilling to return the phone.

For this reason, Chen sued to the Shiqian County People’s Court. After the court accepted the case, the judge went to Deng's home to serve relevant legal documents and investigate the case. Deng acknowledged the fact that Chen's mobile phone was found, but believed that the mobile phone was picked up by himself and was not stolen or robbed. Later, due to a verbal conflict during communication with Chen, he said that he would only return the mobile phone if Chen fired artillery fire from Shiqian County to his home. Deng also said that his cell phone had been lost by his grandson.

The court held that if the lost property is found, it should be returned to the right holder, and the right holder should be promptly notified to collect it, or be delivered to the public security and other relevant departments. The finder should properly keep the lost property before delivering it to the relevant department. Anyone who causes damage or loss of lost property due to intention or gross negligence shall bear civil liability. After Deng found the mobile phone involved in the lawsuit, he should keep the lost property properly and return the found lost property at the request of the owner. Now, Deng refuses to return the lost property and claims that it has been lost, and his behavior has damaged Chen's legitimate rights and interests. Deng asked Chen to set off firecrackers from Shiqian County to his home before returning his mobile phone, which seriously violated public order and good customs.

On July 7, the Intermediate People's Court of Tongren City, Guizhou Province announced this case. The person who picked up the mobile phone said that the mobile phone was lost. The court ruled that he should compensate the owner for economic losses of 8,500 yuan.
