So you're walking down the street on the way to the shop and it's cold and windy. You look down as you place your hands in your pockets and you spot something on the floor up ahead. You bend down and pick it up stunned to see it's an iphone!

Now despite having ripped on your mates for all having joined the cult of the mac, you've always acknowledged that the hardware is very nice, just way too expensive. You flick through a few things on the phone and discover it's on your network, along with finding the email address of the owner, along with no important looking pictures or documents. A quick googling reveals the owner is middle aged and has a good job, say a headmaster at a big school.

Whoever lost it, chances are, will ring their provider and have it locked within a few hours of losing it.

Might as well do the honest thing and maybe get a reward....

I've been gullible once and returned a phone I found walking to the gym.

She didn't even say thank you.

Learning from that experience I'd take the phone.

Good deed. These things are locked to the sim card thats supplied with them as far as I'm aware. I've 2 Iphone contracts running for family mumbers and although they are upgrades I still had to have a new sim for them.

Besides when the person notices its gone the chances are its going to be blocked. Either look in it for his home number and call it or email them.

Call the owner and say "hi have you ever heard an I phone die?"

Then place it on the floor (still with the call connected) and smash it up.

I Lost my phone in a night club in Penzance last year and the next day the guy who found it got in touch with me from ringing my Dad and letting him know he had it. Wasn't a shit phone either.

I would definitely do the same for someone else.

I'd definitely return it. It's a £500 device and I'm sure you wouldn't like it if you lost something of that value and someone just kept it.

I think the fact that he has a good job is irrelevant, just because he works hard doesn't mean that it's okay to steal from him.

Or make the screen saver Nobcat and fill the phone with images of the BCF pet kitten

Imagine him explaining that one during the family xmas dinner

You didn't find a bank's bag full of cash, or a rich fucker's wallet, you found a fellow prol's phone. Return it and don't be a scumbag.

Just in case it being locked was effecting the way people were voting i should point out that it is completely possible to get around such things and that in no way could i be prevented from using the phone should i chose to do so.

I had a similar ( Rolling Eyes ) experience with finding a phone....

Well maybe not too similar to you.

I was at the cinema with my girlfriend; my cousin, his girlfriend, his mate and his girlfriend - sorta 3 couples going out. It was to see the Fast and the Furious if anyone is interested.

Anyway, the film starts and there is these 2 guys behind us (obviously drunk) talking very loudly. So this goes on for a wee while and eventually their girlfriends gets up and leaves them (I have no idea where they went to because the cinema was packed and there were no seats left).

Evenutually the guys start kicking the guy's seat next to me. The guy says something to them and then they give him loads of abuse.

Calm for a few mins......

But then they started to kick my seat !!!! Mad

BIG MISTAKE !

I ask the drunks to kindly stop it, they say something random to me ('Are you from Lenzie?'). I sit back round. 2 mins later they start to kick my seat again.

So I jump over my seat and start punching these 2 cunts faces in. (Go me !!! Thumbs Up ). Next thing there is a big riot in the cinema, with:
Me
My cousin
My cousin's mate (Aaron)
Drunk Arsehole 1
Drunk Arsehole 2
3 guys sitting next to me (my allies - since they had their seat kicked and were fed up with them)
And another by-stander (random guy just decided to break the fight up whilst punching the drunk peoples faces as well.

So, it eventually calms down. Police are called, but we get away before they come.


In the fight I broke my glasses. They were very expensive as well.


However, my cousin's girlfriend found a very expensive phone one of the cunts had dropped in the fight, so as a nice gesture, she gave the phone to me; I sold it on ebay; made myself some cash and then bought myself a new pair of glasses with the money.

At the end of the day everyone is happy. I went the next day to see a repeat of the film and everybody lived happily ever after.

Very Happy The End. Very Happy


P.S. - Sorry for hijacking your thread, but I got to the point at the end of my story.

KEEP THE PHONE !
