The Towns County Sheriff’s Office is doing what good neighbors do — trying to reunite a lost iPhone with its owner after finding the device abandoned on Swallows Creek Road.
📱 Why It Matters: If you’ve been frantically searching for your missing iPhone around the Swallows Creek area, deputies might have saved you from retracing your steps through every store and restaurant in north Georgia.
🛣️ What’s Happening: Deputies discovered the wayward device sitting in the middle of Swallows Creek Road and posted about their find on the sheriff’s office Facebook page July 27. The phone appears to be in working condition, according to the post.
🔍 The Process: To claim the device, owners need to contact the sheriff’s office and provide the phone number associated with the device.
🤝 Between The Lines: The sheriff’s office is taking the extra step to ensure the phone gets back to its rightful owner rather than letting it become another piece of roadside debris. It’s the kind of community policing that builds trust between law enforcement and residents.
