Found an iphone don't know what to do

[highres]

I found a phone in a Wawa parking lot yesterday, pulled up outgoing calls list, picked one that had a name attached to it to avoid getting a business by accident, called number and then tracked down owner. Returned the phone to it's owner and all is well.

wooo, she emailed back, she goes to college in my state, she was stoked thought she'd never see it again, problem solved

Well played, OP. Well played indeed!

OP -- just out of curiosity, did she say how long it had been from the time she lost it to the time you found it? Just curious how long it had been out in the elements.

She didn't mention it, just said she thought she'd never see it again, but she's on her university's alpine ski team, so i'm guessing end of winter thru now? pretty long time to be out there

I'm glad there are still good people in this world! Props for getting it back to her

Most people tend to do the right thing. On a recent trip my son accidentally left his iPod Touch and a Garmin GPS sitting on a bench outside our hotel. We didn't notice until the next day. Luckily someone had turned them in at the front desk lost and found so he got them back.

Glad the OP was able to contact the owner and can return the phone. I'm sure the girl was pleasantly surprised.

Sad that some people are suggesting you sell it.

In case you won't find the owner, call Gizmodo! They might buy it, they have a history of purchasing iPhones at a very impressive price.

Churn it down with a sledge hammer! My creative idea

Great story. Reminds me of the time where I lost a textbook by leaving it on a sidewalk (My friends and I were studying outside and I forgot it when we left)

About a week later I got a Facebook message from a random girl:

"Hey I don't know you but my sister found a book of yours "Fundamental Managerial Accounting Concepts"? along with notes and a calculator. It was near my house."

Was a great day.
