Today I went to see Borat with a friend You know the movie because I don’t know anyone named Borat.
Anyway when we went to leave our row my friend asked me if that was my cell there on the armrest. I didn’t know why he thought it was my phone because I wasn’t sitting there, but I picked it up and said no.
At this point I had two thoughts
- Return the phone to the manager and hope the person who’s phone it was would check there
- Look in the phone’s contact list to see if the owner has something entered as mom/dad/brother/sister/home etc.
Doing option 2 I didn’t see anything so I called one of the numbers on the phone using the phone. I was all set to say I found your friend’s phone and would like to return it can you please have the person call me at (my cell) but it went to voice mail.
I asked my friend who drove to the theater if he would take me to the Cingular store so I could drop it off and they can contact the account holder.
Well before that happens the phone rang. I answered it asking are you the person who lost this phone. The voice said he was and I asked if he was still by the movie theater.
He said he was still in the theater but was exiting. So I stated walking toward the theater. We found each other, he thanked me and I returned his phone. I then wished him a happy holiday.
I felt good returning the phone because it was the right thing to do. I just wish that when I had lost my phone last week whoever found it would have had the decency to return it to me
