Lost Phone

Categories

Overheard while waiting for coffee at a local coffee and bake shop:
Apparently a customer was calling because she has lost her cellphone and thought she might have left it in the shop’s bathroom.
The person at the counter who answered the call had an empty cellphone case in her hand and was explaining that the empty case was all that was found in the bathroom.
I’ve been thinking about this for a few days now.
Why only the empty case? If someone found the phone, why would they presumably remove the phone and leave the case?
Perhaps I am too cynical. Was the case left as a sinister message to the owner who may track it down ? “Your phone was found and purposely taken — never to be returned !”

Depending on the case, it may have been easier for the person who took the phone to put it in their pocket so they could walk out and no one would see it. Easier to hide in case the person whose phone it was was still in the coffee shop. Interestingly, my daughter dropped her phone out of her bag once while she was talking via blue tooth and the person who found it brought it to the local verizon store. You can see which company the phone has service with without the passcode. The store was able to trace it to a phone on our account and called me since I was the account holder and my daughter was able to reclaim her phone.

many of us who use an iPhone enjoy a Find My iPhone App which may be accesses by other Family Members' devices and our other devices. I can be rather useful.
