New Auburn defensive coordinator Ellis Johnson had a bit of an embarrassing moment two weeks ago, when his cell phone was stolen while recruiting.

We found out because Johnson tweeted about it.

Well, after two long weeks that had to be devastating for Johnson's family, we're happy to report the phone was returned. Johnson tweeted the news Sunday.

great recruiting weekend and back at it! #WarEagle

It's unclear if there was any damage done to or with the phone.

But in all seriousness, as we mentioned in the first post, always make sure your phone data is backed up somewhere. Be prepared for worst-case scenarios.
