Me, my Girlfriend, her ex and the missing iPhone 11 Pro

One night I called so many times and she didn't pick up. I said, "I've been calling you several times." She said, "He was here. He took my phone from me and said he wouldn't allow me to talk to you." I was so pissed I'd wanted to call and confront him but she calmed me down; "Trust me. I'm a big girl. I would handle him but when push comes to shove, I'll let you know.” I told her, "Don't worry. It's just a phone. I would get you a new one.” One afternoon she called and said, "Tim, please don't be angry about what I'm going to say. My ex said he's getting me a new phone. Should I accept it?" I screamed, "No, don't! Why would he buy you a new phone? Who called him into this issue?" I kept ranting until she said, "Ok, don't worry. I won't take anything from him if you're not comfortable." I spoke from a place of jealousy and she got a hint of it. Two weeks later, I pulled some resources together and got her a new phone-iPhone 11 without the 'pro. I would see her on the phone chatting with an angry face. I would ask what was it and she would say, "Is it not my ex, I don't know what he wants from me." I would call her line as late as 10pm and it would be call waiting. An hour later she would call and tell me, "Tim, I don't know what to do. I want to change my number. That guy is disturbing me. Why is he coming after me like that? Is that how you guys are? You don't take a no for an answer?". "You mean she told you all that or you're making things up? I wish I could get her on the phone to join this conversation." That was when I spotted the phone he was using-iPhone 11 Pro in a black leather case. He continued, "Georgette knows I'm dating and she knows the girl I'm going out with. She has been the one pestering me to come back. I've never visited her house since we broke up but she had come to my place on several occasions, begging me to come back. You see this phone I'm using? She gave it to me, telling me it's a sign that she still wants me in her life. I've never ever tried to get back at her. That girl has emotional issues I don't want to be part of. If you doubt me, let's call her.” "You mean she's lying to me all this while? And you said she got you this phone you're using?" He answered, "I won't make anything up. If you are comfortable with it, let's call her." I told him, "I want to be there with her when I call you so I can understand what's happening.” That evening I went to her house and asked her only two questions; "What happened to the first iPhone I bought for you?" She said, "It got stolen." I asked again, "When was the last time you went to your ex's house?" She said, "I've never been to his house since I started dating you." I called the ex and put it on a loudspeaker. She left the room for me and never picked my calls afterward. One morning, I went to her house unexpectedly, picked the phone I bought her, and before I would leave, I told her, "I'm giving you two days, if I don't get the Pro back, count yourself dead.". The next day, her ex called me; "Bro, you asked her to come for the phone?" I told him, "I asked her to get me my phone." He said, "Can you give me one month to get a new phone so I give this one back to you?" I said, "That's between you and her but I've given her two days to get my phone back to me." The next day when I returned from work, a co-tenant said Georgette left something to be given to me. Source | Summary
