Aussie woman's search for man who filmed video on her lost phone

An Australian woman who lost her phone at a festival two years ago has been reunited with the man who found it.

Cherie Jones was at the New Year's Eve festival In The Park in 2018 when a storm hit and the crowd dispersed. In the confusion Cherie lost her phone, which was handed into security and returned to her.

When she unlocked it she found a stranger had filmed a video on it. The man is wet and dressed in a black shirt, and says, "We have your phone. Don't worry." He then runs his hands through his dark hair and adds, "We'll hand it to security."

For whatever reason the man's video message had an impact on Cherie and she began a quest to find him, sharing a video on her TikTok account @vodkalimesoda.

In the video you see Cherie sitting on the floor with her hands covering her face. "Help me find the man who handed my phone into security after a storm at a festival," she says before playing the message left by the man.

The man was quickly recognised by TikTok users, with one person commenting: "That's Nick! He's my best mate."

Nick himself then came forward, saying, "Looks like TikTok has brought us together."

TikTok users were delighted by the reunion, with one hoping the two find romance.

"I'm ready for the wedding video of you two!!" one said.

"Girl he found this TikTik! Marry him!" another commented.

In a comment, Cherie later admitted she had feelings for Nick, calling him her "festival crush". Ahead of their reunion she decided to ask him if he was single, but he told her he was in a relationship.

"I explained that's so fine!" she updated her followers. "A little disappointed but oh well."
