The pocket of my shirt was a chest pocket...
There's your problem right there. I never trust those pockets for exactly that reason.
I relized it as gone right before i reached the car, so that can't be it. And I just tested my treo in my shirt pocket and it didn't fall out till i was pretty much at 160 degrees down, so that can't be it either. Plus the ipod had headphones wrapped around it, so that would have made it even harder for it to fall out.
I wish I could go back and check though, but that's in San Diego, and I'm in Orange County.
Ouch.Sorry, I don't think there's much more you can do, other then hope the manager will find it.
