Maybe I'm being harsh here, but I found a locked iPhone last night up in some mountains. I would like to get it back to it's owner but of course no contact info, not really surprised.
What gets me though is there is a series of text messages coming into the phone from all his friends, a couple of which appear to be his friends commenting on trying use Find My Friends to locate his phone. Also had a login notification from Find my Friends that made it seem like someone was trying to use it to find his phone.
But at NO point does ANYONE actually text the phone or try to contact it with contact information for us to return it.
It seems the guy must not have Find my iPhone setup on it or he could lock or send a message to it. They also must not realize (duh, have they ever used one?) including the owner, that we can see text messages on the lock screen and could contact someone IF THEY WOULD ONLY TEXT OR CALL IT!!!!
Seriously, what is deal here? Am I expecting too much or is this guy a complete moron? I half feel like this guy doesn't even deserve a phone if he's too incredibly stupid to do something as incredibly basic as CALL/TEXT HIS OWN PHONE. Ok that is probably too harsh, but I'm frustrated as we'd like to get this guy his phone back but now are having to call police dispatch to have them come get it and now it will just disappear into the abyss of lost phones.
Thoughts?
