Have You Seen It?

The other day I was using the rest room in a grocery store. When I reached over to get some toilet paper I noticed a dark blue leather folio phone case laying on top of the paper holder. The case had several slots on the back to hold charge cards, but the slots were empty.

I opened up the case to take a look at the phone, but  it was locked with a pass code. I was in a hurry and didn't have time to try to find any contact information. This store doesn't have a Customer Service desk, so I decided to turn the phone in to the cashier.

However, if it was me backtracking to find a phone I misplaced somewhere, I would be even more frantic to not find it where I thought I had left it. So I got a length of paper towel from the holder and wrote that I had turned the phone in. I left the note in the exact same place the phone had been. That way if the person would know what the next step was.

    Good thinking. I hope it finds it's way back.

      I hope so, too. We rely on our phones SO MUCH that I couldn't think about being without mine.

    I would be afraid someone not as honest as you would take it, but that was very thoughtful.

      I guess if you lose something valuable you always take the chance someone who isn't honest will be first on the scene.

      That's why I always carry a purse :-) At least the phone was in a case.

    That is a smart way to do it. I hope the person who lost it can figure out where they may have left it.

    Hey Kathy! Here's hoping they remember where they left it.
