Judging from his question, one can infer that he intended to file a police report and needed some guidance on how to go about doing that.
Tan has yet to post any updates since, so it’s unclear if he has made a report or any progress in finding his possessions.
Hours before the story went live, the actor had posted a photo of himself posing in from of the Duomo di Milano.
MS News has reached out to Desmond Tan for comments on the matter and will update the article accordingly.
