Went to a mates last night and got trollied.An hour after getting home i couldnt find my phone,rang it and it was switched off,so assumed the worst.Anyway my bed was calling so off i went.Rang taxi firm and they said to call in the evening when the evening shift started.Still no answer on my phone which in my experience means some pikey has found it.I was sure the only place it could be was the taxi and id sat in the front so it could not have been found by the next punter.Fuming i bit the bullet and went and bought a samsung phone on pay as you go.Then a bigger sd card as it only came with 2 gb.So left the Mall £180 lighter and in possesion of my new phone with no contacts on it.Rang the taxi firm who contacted the driver i could hear the conversation "did you find a phone in your cab last night" driver replied uhhhh oh yes i did,WTF !! I was fuming,was he hoping i wouldnt claim it ffs and then keep it :cursing: who turns a lost phone off ?? I was glad to retrieve it but had the **** not turned it off i could have saved myself £180.Ive never lost a phone in twelve years and was pissy as hell earlier with myself.

I lost a motorola flip phone on a bus once, was kicking myself for days, when I rang it, the pikey who'd found it actually answered, told me to **** off! :( On the flip side, we found a phone in a taxi in NZ on the way home from Auckland one night. We rang "home" on it the next day and got the girls mother, got her in a whole shit load of trouble, as she was supposed to be staying with a friend and studying or something, but she was glad to get her phone back all the same, lol :D

Its a shame but if you lose stuff these days you just dont expect to see it again do you.Jeez i sound old saying that :glare:

I feel old agreeing with you! I remember finding a £50 note when I was a nipper and ALL of us agreed to hand it in to the police station, seriously wouldn't do that now! The desk sergeant would probably pocket it :no:

There's a free Android app called 'Where's My Droid'. It lets you do all sorts of useful stuff.

Sounding more like my dad by the day !!

Your prolly right there,i wouldnt expect the owner to get it back either tbh.Straight in the tea coffers for that i bet.

I've got that app on my current Android :D I accidentally set it off the other week by sending a text to someone else with the keyword in it :no:
