telephone madness

I am a gsm engineer working in lagos.Business had been good until one eventful day.A client came in and said that he wanted to fix his phone,i took the phone to make a quick assessment while i took a history of the fault from him."No come up" he said. i literally assumed it had shot down.I handed the job card to him to fill but that was a waste of time.This client couldn't,t tell me his fault why do i expect him to fill a form. "no problem" i said ,come back in the evening, i charged him two thousand naira. Shocking all he said was"try for me". i started working on the phone and realised that the battery had been drained. i changed the cells of the battery but the phone only blinked,i decided to reprogramme the software on the phone.Voila!the phone came up.i did a quality assessment on the phone and it passed for collection by customer.At exactly 5.00p.m tajudeen entered,"how my phone?fine,i replied.It is ready.He took the handset from me and inserted his sim card. "ah ah ah!,what of all my phone numbers.They are gone i said calmly."na lie oh!na lie oh!why you throw away me numbers?i new for lagos, i no get where to go.i need the numbers.this is a case of chasing rats when your house is burning,i thought".i go call police oh".now i got angry,leave my shop if you no get money".AH ah ah!he said and walked out.fifteen minutes later, two policemen came in ,"you are under arrest for theft of phone information". i went to the station and of course you all know what happened, i paid five thousand to bail myself after two nights in the cell.The laws in my shop now are stricter.
