I FOUND AN iPHONE

[weezercleaver]

I found a backpack with a Sony Vaio and a wallet in it in a parking lot once and called the owner to come get it at my work and he brought me a $50 panera gift card-woot woot. I truely do believe in karma and OP got to witness it first hand!

Pretty sweet huh?

Here's the deal.......before you bash me and call me a thief........

Here's the sweet part: read my username.

I was out at the local Indian Casino gambling away my money (BINGO really) and doing a great job of it.....1 number away so many times!! Well the bingo hall was clearing out and as I walked out with a buddy of mine, he says to me, "Dude! You dropped your iPhone!!". Im like WTF!!!! So I reach down and grab it and put it in my pocket......thinking nothing of it (other than I'm an idiot for dropping it) cause I own an iPhone, bought it the day it came out. Apparently when it dropped from the original owners hand, purse, backpack, whatever, it shutoff. No ring all night. Bingo ended at nearly 11PM so I was home and in bed pretty quick and forgot to put "my iPhone" on the charger. Thats when I should have realized I had 2 iPhones on me, but i went to bed so I didn't. Woke up this morning and grabbed at my shorts from yesterday for my wallet, keys and iPhone.....two of them.......
WOW, the evening before popped in my head and I promptly turned on the new one to find a contact list, text, email, something to help identify the owner. First thing I see is the recent list and it says "House"!!! Sweet!!!! Nope. The owner turned it off and I couldnt make a call from the phone. It says to call 611 to get help with the phone. Cool. Called 611, they had a number to get in contact with the owner. She called the owner, we verified a few things to make sure (not likely their contact for a lost phone would be anyone other than them) and within 40 minutes the guy was at my house (it was his wife's phone that he bought for her for her birthday only 2 weeks earlier if I remember the story right). DUDE GAVE ME 40 BUCKS TOO!!!!
I know this is long for a returned phone story, but I wanted to let people know not only are there some honest people left in the world......all these stories about "I found an iPhone and cant find the original owner!" are BS. You know you stole it , or really found it but aren't honest enough to give it back, or are too greedy and have to keep it for yourself.
Well here's telling you that if you do "FIND" an iPhone and dont want to return it, your a piece of bantha poo-doo.
I'D FREAK IF I LOST MINE......HERE'S TO RETURNING A LOST iPHONE!!!

[iPhoneReturner]

yes just to tell this story

I made an account just to tell this story.....I thought it was cool that the guys gave me money but that wasn't the idea....

Questions answered:
How could I mistake the phone.....I keep excelent care of my iPhone, you should too.....only one mark from when I crashed my motorcycle( little dent, and now I always keep it in my scosche arm case.

Did I make the username for this......yupp!!

Basically I wanted the people writing all the posts about "can I do this or that with a found iPhone" to give them back not steal them....

K that's it......last post......hope to hear from GotMyiPhoneBack.......LOL!!

Oh and hopefully my English is good enough for you all to read......hmmm I guess that degree in computers doesn't help with English.....
