Just felt like sharing this:

I went snowboarding with a few people on Tuesday.
After a few runs, and a few bails on the hardpacked icy snow up on Seymour, I reached for my phone to text someone...
To my amazement, my iPhone was missing...FUCK!

I figured it must have fallen out of my buttoned up pocket on one of my bails.
The cold sweat set it. As I got up on the chair lift I noticed a couple sitting close by where I fell.
My girlfriend yelled out to them and asked if they had found a phone. They did!

I snowboarded down and there it was. If anyone has experienced this, losing your phone sucks. You lose everything. Contacts, pics, videos, etc.
I thanked the couple and offered to buy them dinner since I had no other way of rewarding them. They kindly refused and wished me a Merry Christmas.
I looked through my phone and they even called my house in attempt to report the phone missing. I am ever so thankful.

Just goes to show, there are good/honest people who will do the right thing.

Kinda hard to believe, but same thing happened to me. I was up in whistler for the last few days. Finished a run, decided to go get some drinks with my buddy. I reach into my pocket, no iphone, no wallet, no keys. Must've fallen out when i wiped out. We go asking people where and if there is a lost and found, couple minutes later, my mom calls my buddy telling him that somebody found my phone has called some of my contacts and is willing to give it back.

I grab my buddy's phone, call my phone, and the guy told me to meet him in front of a shop. Turns out it was two teens that found my phone and stuff, and handed it all back to me, not a penny missing. I told em to wait there and bought them each a drink and a burger and thanked them.

Ive found a phone and gave it back, nice to see others with the same attitude.

When I worked at Playland a year or 2 ago, it wasn't unusual to find a phone on a ride. One time, a phone started ringing and we had a strict policy about no phones while working. Luckily for me there was 2-3 people operating our ride so I was able to step aside and answer the phone even though I knew I'd get in trouble if a manager/foreperson walked by. No reward but still felt a nice feeling when I handed the phone over. :)

[Anjew]

ya there most definately are some good people out there. i recently read about nice people paying for peoples layaway purchases at kmart in the states.... very heart warming

thanks for sharing guys.
hope to hear more stories like this

[SkinnyPupp]

BTW if you enable icloud, you won't lose your contacts, pictures, videos, or anything. Just the phone ;)

[N.V.M.]

or sync it every so often, you won't lose a lot.

[s300ae]

yea i get that... but still... im pretty attached to my phone.
and when people say they arent, they havent experienced the feeling of having something and then losing it suddenly.

[Chronix]

here's another good story.

a girl walked by my once, and i decided not to rape her.

[GoneGuru]

Lost my iphone couple weeks ago. No one returned it :( .

My mom found an Iphone yesterday in the best buy parking lot, and even though someone kept calling, she couldn't figure how to answer it, LOL. She had to bring it home so I could answer it and I met up with the guy and gave it back. Guy was so happy.

Its also a kick in the teeth when you give a phone back and they show 0 gratitude. Not even a thank you.

There was one time at work, a co worker was fitting out a customer with some hockey gear and ski equipment. They picked out a bunch of stuff already and left it at the bench. They then took some of their stuff and disappeared (turns out they went to look for more stuff to buy) and only left like a glove and his iphone on the bench. I told my coworker I put the iphone inside the drawer of the bench and that he left it there. We tried to call any contacts but the phone was locked.

After about 20 minutes I see them at the till paying for their huge stock pile of gear and clothes. So I ran back to the bench, grabbed his phone and chased him down before his transaction was done.

I told him he just left it on the bench by itself and everyone was gone. He just out right accuses me of stealing it right away, says a bunch of crap in chinese and just takes his phone. I just walked away without saying anything.

+1 for zippered pockets. However if I lost my phone I'd be happy - an excuse to buy a new one as I havent in over 5 yrs.

[xilley]

Longgg time ago when i was gr2, i was swinging on the monkey bar doing some upside down shit
and i dropped my Toonie
some dumbass kid comes running picks it up and holds it towards me and said "finders keepers"

Holy shit.. i will always remember that day
you have no idea how much money that was for a Gr.2 kid

and he runs off fuck

Richmond Center...took a break during christmas shopping ..sat in one of those cozy leather chairs only to find a wallet. called customer service/security but no answer... figured whoever it was, they would back track their steps... after about 20mins... sure enough, someone backtracked and i returned it to them. I think we all have good morals in each of us and know when to exercise them....or karma pretty much will strike us dead.

[N.V.M.]

i just looked. iCloud has a "Find Your Phone" feature. turn that sucker on.

Yea, she called me a pedophile. That's a pretty big word for a 7 yr old.

What a nob. Why would you bring it back if you were stealing it.

[danned]

my parents dropped their wallet with $2000 dollars
a police officer phoned us, and told us that he got my parent's wallet

and the officer told us that a lady found the wallet and returned to the police immediately
wao, unbelieveable.....seriously, there are real good people out there

[falcon]

It's a sad time when we expect people to steal and are shocked when they don't. Go back 40-50 years and chances are nearly everyone would return something that was not theirs. Humanity has lost their moral compass over the last few decades. Unfortunate.

[vanessabee24]

that's great news! chances are usually people that find something (especially of that value) don't put any effort out to find the original owner unless they are approached.

i wish i got my iphone back when i lost it... left mine in a restaurant right before it closed sad day...

Damn, that's good to hear man!

I found a phone once at a club. Tried calling a few contacts, no pick-up. Figured I'd try later.
When I was leaving the club and was already on the way home, the phone rings and I told them I'll return the phone in the morning. Crazy girl accused me of stealing it and I was like, "Whoa, I wouldn't have answered if I stole it. Just call me in the morning."
Sure enough, next morning, I get a call, we arrange to meet up. Now the girl on the phone is in love with me, saying how sweet and great I am. women :fuckthatshit:
Gave the phone back, she was greatful and offered a reward. I refused, didn't feel right and I don't do nice things to get $.

It was a shitty SonyEricsson W300 lol

[yameen]

back in high school i was biking with my wallet in my shorts. it fell out in front of 7-11 because that's when i jumped a curb and i'm pretty sure that's when it slipped out. the next day, i was called down to the principals office and an old lady gave me back my wallet. got her contact and gave her a box of chocolates the next day at her house.

[fishCak3s]

Bought my first manual car and have no idea what to expect, so coworker referred her mechanic to me. Called him up to inspect the car (which I should've done before buying it). The mechanic took the car around the block with me, went through the whole car with me for about 2 hours and charged me a handshake at the end.

[mb_]

Was at 7/11/Petro Canada on 160th and Fraser buying a bag of ice.. Some guy was buying smokes and I'm pretty sure he bought the clerk some donuts since they were just sitting on the counter. Not sure if he actually did but I'll think of it that way :)

[ThatKoukiKid]

in about Aug, i lost my wallet(which had everything) around parker place, and i was so upset. started replacing everything 2 days after. about 3-4 days later someone rang the doorbell and when i opened it a asian fella in his 20's was at my door holding my wallet "is this yours?" i was so shocked. he said he found it on the ground in parker place and had to go to work so he couldnt return it right away, but on his day off he looked inside more closely to find my drivers license and looked for my address. he drove a white 05-06 STI with stock rims and bodykit. if you're on RS thanks man.

Chances are that she was drunk, confused and panicking considering where you just left.

[Cereal Killer]

Lost a phone on a skytrain. Someone found it and their sister called my home a few days later to inform me they had it. The phone and the content inside weren't special but it was nice of them to return it. Gave them $20 for good karma :)

[Sandman]

Just lost my iphone at cypress lol, man what a shitty feeling =(

[underscore]

does anyone else have that ICE contact in their phone, for if you're in an accident or your phone is lost? The couple phones I've returned never had one so I'd have to dig through previous calls or the address book to find someone who knew the owner.

[s300ae]

I'm sure it's not that hard to find the person they talk to the most.
They just had called my "home" number, which was nice of them, but I live alone so no one would have picked up anyways lol
The reason why I even have a land line was because it came free with shaw package.

I wiped out pretty good on December 10th at cypress on the ice pack.. Found out my skies were too tight as they didnt release as i went flipping over and over twisting my knee, hip and shoulder and i just layed there for a minute or 2 waiting for my friends to catch up, but 2 guys came down before they arrived and started picking up my gloves and the stuff i lost as they came towards me and asked if i was alright :).
