Yeah, there seems to be something missing in the story - you handed the iPhone back to your co-worker, but then had it in your possession to return to the student. How did you get it back from your co-worker?
Got a tip for us?

Haha I thought it said that until I saw your post 🙄
Good work though OP, nice to have some honest people in the world.
OK to explain that point,
The iphone was given back at her request so she could keep it for a week and then throw away if no one came back to me. When i managed to get hold of someone the phone owner knew i asked for the phone from my coworker so i could return it to the rightful owner.
TBH i think she is under the impression that i kept the phone for myself but really could not careless what she thinks. She had plenty of time to return the unit herself but decided if she cant have it then why should she find the owner. Selfish bint😡
The owner has there iphone back and i still have a stupid Samsung wave HD - Bloody nice camera on that though,

Great job OP! Good thing your co-worker was stupid enough not to be able to reset the iPhone herself. My guess is you will get some really fine French chocolates.

I hate people who lack morals.
I applaud you for all the effort you made to return the phone to its rightful owner.

The co-worker wanted to keep it and throw it in the river. Why should they receive the reward?
Good job OP. Pat on the back for you for sure.
Way to be honest in a lying world! Burn the coworker.

Your right the co worker did give it back to me, after i scared them to death that MobileMe was working and the owner was looking for the phone,
They were Under the impression that the phone movements could be tracked to my office and so to them, to which i advised her politely that i would inform the owner where the phone was found and by whom! Thus leading to them getting into some serious issues in my company and in there partners as to why the phone was no longer in this location.
Nothing missing from the story and the phones owner is mighty happy to have there phone back and not having to go fishing for it.
For the life of me, I cannot understand why people try to keep things that can be returned rather easily. Or steal things that can be tracked.
I have an associate who recently had his iPhone stolen. He used MobileMe to track the three guys that jumped him for it. Alerted the police (but no phone).
However, he and his buddies did get some revenge... but I'll leave it to your imagination as to how that was handled.
I had had MobileMe for years but turned it off a year or so ago. I've just purchased an iPhone for, however, and this story has illustrated to me the importance of investing in MobileMe again.

If you had a face to face with the French girl, I'm sure you would have scored a nice kiss. Given your encounter will be though the mail, my bet is French chocolates. Either is nice, but the face to face would have been better. BTW: good job. 😉
