SXPhil Posted December 5, 2009 Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 (edited) Walking the dog through Belfairs Woods this morning I suddenly realised my 2 week old Iphone was missing !!!! ******!!!!! We retraced our steps but with all the leaves I didn't hold out much hope So when I got home I rang Orange who to their credit put a block on it and arranged for a courier to deliver me a new one between 9-1 tomorrow YES SUNDAY I did ring the phone and leave a text mesage saying please ring me but held out little hope This evening I GOT THE CALL from a lady local to me saying she was walking her sons dog and found it [Her son was at the hospital because his wifes waters had broken and this lady was about to be come a grandmother for the 1st time] I offered her a reward which she declined so I asked if she would let me buy her new grandchild something and she accepted it WHAT A REALLY NICE LADY Edited December 5, 2009 by PhilSIDC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll be using it for making phone calls and going on the internet. They can remotely fry a lost phone so it will never work again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robmiller Posted December 6, 2009 Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 I went out one night........... i dont really remember what happened apart from some ropey house, being sick and getting a lift home on a milk float. But anyways......no phone. I rang and rang....just rang out and then someone answered. It was a lady whos son had found it in a field north of newcastle. She gave me her address....took her a box of roses and picked it up. There are a few good people around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fatcatsplat Posted December 6, 2009 Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 I think the moral of the story is "Hope that a lady finds your phone, 'cos a bloke would definitely nick it"!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamW Posted December 6, 2009 Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 (edited) I found a phone last year.. guys at work kept asking "do you want to sell it, I will have it!" My answer "no, it going back to the owner!" I rang him, delivered it, but hardly even a thank you! just Ta and closed the door Just goes to show that not all people are that great! Also found a wallet (no money in side) rang the owner, he said just drop it off next time your passing! no thanks all! But on the flip side, the wife dropped her wallet in a car park, rushed around like mad trying to find, I came home from work to find the police outside my house! I did think the worst, but then they asked who I was and requested ID, then passed her wallet to me, some nice chap had handed it in complete with money, unfortunately the police did not have his details! shame as I would like to have given him something as a thanks you Adam Edited December 6, 2009 by AdamW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FinFerNan Posted December 6, 2009 Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 The best example I recall along these lines happened a few years back. We (the girlfriend of the time) were driving home, suddenly the rear door of the car flew open as we rounded a bend. It was at the end of a service road behind a row of shops. It was a dark and rainy night, so I popped out the car and shut the door. Did not think anymore about it until we got home and realised that her handbag was no longer on the rear seat where she'd put it. We drove the 10 miles back to the spot, not really expecting to find it and we were not to be suprised. It was not there. She say's "Let's go to the Police station, someone might have handed it in" I say, "Are you kidding, some little scroat is in one of the local pubs drinking your cash away as we speak" Anyway just to placate her, we went to the Police station and to my utter amazement it had been handed in and was intact! No idea who handed it in but there are some good people out there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lloyd90 Posted December 6, 2009 Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 I once did this. I rang the phone and told them I had found it. The guy goes, "you found it ? Right Im not coming to get it, drop it up my house!" As if I was his bloody slave. Seems you just can't help some people I felt like just chucking it in the pond but instead I left it at the local pub just round the corner lol! What an **** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricko Posted December 6, 2009 Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 My girlfriend found a phone a couple of years ago. We rang obvious numbers on the phone (eg Mum, Home etc) but no-one answered The phone rang so we answered it. The phone owner started 'ranting' on the phone. We tried to explain that we had found it They accused us of stealing it. I explained that we could meet up in Liverpool (where they lived) after the weekend They were screaming at us down the phone. I offered to take to a police station and hand it in They got very abusive, swearing etc. So i said, "The next sound you here is an axe going through your phone" Put it on the chopping block and chopped it End of!
