iPhone lost for 10 YEARS is pulled from toilet after husband hears odd noise

A man who tried to unblock his toilet after hearing a weird noise managed to find an item that his wife lost ten years ago.

Becki Beckmann's husband started hearing a "banging sound" when they flushed the toilet and so he decided to plunge it.

He was surprised to find the iPhone that Becki lost ten years ago, news.com.au reported.

Writing on Facebook, Becki said the couple initially blamed the noise "on the toilet being old or the house construction being terrible."

But, her husband was fed up and sought to "plunge the f**k out of it".

After a while, she said he came running outside to say that she "wouldn't believe what he found in our toilet."

The phone was lodged deep in the toilet's pipes, and photos posted by Becki showed that the back casing was lifting, exposing the tech inside.

Becki lost her iPhone 12 around Halloween in 2012, and after searching for a while, she gave up and bought a new phone.

She said she was "super confused" when it went missing as she hadn't left the house that day nor had she been drinking, but she hasn't thought about it since.

Becki said: " I replaced [the phone], moved on. whatever. It was mysterious but it was gone. This was so, so far from what I was expecting."

The post went viral, with hundreds of people commenting their thoughts on toilet maintenance.

One person said: "There's no way it was stuck in your toilet for 10 years and never caused an issue until it started making a sound."

A second person wrote: "How have y'all not had any clogging? My townhouse get son baby wipe in its pipe and I get all the neighbours sh*t in my laundry room."

"How come my glass screen breaks when I even so much as look at it but you can literally sh*t on yours for years and it's perfect?" another joked.

Though the iPhone looked almost pristine, it is likely that ten years of toilet water (and other things) has rendered it inoperable.
