I'm from Toronto and went down to Detroit for the Eminem/Jay Z concert and the unthinkable happened....

I got so plastered that I forgot my iPhone 4 (32gb) in a cab and never got it back! =(
 
no i dont have mobile me, even if i had, the phone was turned off right away lol

but yeah my only gripe is I can't seem to find another 32gb iphone around here in Toronto...I want to replace it ASAP! i'm stuck with an LG Xenon right now haha
 
The amazing thing is that you found a cab in Detroit! As far as your phone, unfortunately, whoever found it probably thought it was part of the Obama stimulus phone giveaway. Thanks for your contribution.

(seriously, that sucks. I know the feeling of leaving crap in a cab)
 
update

yeah it sucks but I just bought a new replacement, still bummed about it but hey at least i won't have to use my lg xenon lol
 
Detroit is covered in iPhone chop shops. Your phone is probably in 500 pieces now shipping to mexico.

That really sucks. Glad you got another one though.

Nice trade. Couldn't pull the trigger.
 
same thing happened to me on this summer when i was on holiday on greece.I left my first gen iphone on taxi (yeah yeah too drunk ,and i was wearing shorts with bad pockets) in the morning i noticed that my phone was missing so i tried to call to my phone but no one answered so i called to the taxi company and they said we might have your phone and the taxi driver who found the phone will call me later.Yeah he did call later that day but he really didnt speak any english :D and my greece is even poorer.So long story short and few days later the taxi driver came to our condo and dropped of the phone ,i tried to slip him 50€ but he didnt take it :) he had even taken few photos with the phone :D I never believed that i would get my phone back but i did.

so sorry for OPs lost i hope you find new iphone fast.

wow that's a very nice ending to your story! i wish mine ended like that lol but yeah its okay I've replaced it last night. The backup was very seemless, feels like i didn't lose anything (well except for the actual phone lol)
 
You should have started an "I am going to an Eminem/Jay z concert in Detroit...should I leave my iphone 4 at home?" thread...we would have told you to leave it (after flaming you for starting such a thread first:)). Seriously, I would be totally po'd if that happened to me.
