Maybe he got it free from a lucky draw or a company reward.

doesn't seem so. He was panicking and even went back to the apple store for it.. highly likely he bought it from the apple store.

<<Woon, who recently resigned from his full-time job as a waiter to care for his sick mother, frantically called Chua Chu Kang Town Council and the waste disposal company for help.>>

A waiter who recently quit his job is using a $2,900 phone. What are you guys using ? A diamond encrusted phone with space technology communication?

A little strange here. Unless the tc just happened to collect the dump immediately after he threw. Low probability. Or else he doesn't seemed to be panicky enough.

I ever threw some parts for a gadget i purchased online. I unboxed and threw without checking properly. I panic and went straight down to the bin using torch light to retrieve it. They usually does not lock the bin door. And my item was way way below $2900.

More likely he just panic without doing anything besides calling the tc. Stupid.

Oh so he panic the whole night (from the title) , calling the tc without taking self action. His self stupid action was to travel down to orchard instead of going to the bin.
This sort of things separates me from the stupid group.
