iPhone...ugh i lost it.

[GregFreeman]

One month after getting the iPhone 5 as my upgrade I was due for, I accidentally left it in a cab last night. While tracking the gps from iCloud and calling it, someone turned it off. Fabulous. Glad to know that's what this worlds coming to. Drives me nuts. All some person had to do was answer the phone and I would have come and gotten it. Of course, I'm partially to blame here, but the selfishness of some person out there is really what drives me crazy.

I'm sure my provider is ecstatic though; now I have to buy a new phone and this one they don't have to subsidize. Anyone else lost something that's driven them crazy?!

yes, but I don't know if  can say it on a public forum...

Spoiler

my hair...  😞

The difference here is, losing your hair saves you money.

Oh man, that sucks.

Surely the new 'owner' will need to turn it on if they expect to be able to use/sell it? As soon as it's on, can you not use the Find my iPhone functionality again to track it's whereabouts? If someone ever took my phone and I was able to track it's location I'd be straight round there with boiling blood and vengeance in my eyes

I'm on a roll with quotations today.  Never an original thought... 😞  Maybe I'm a robot?

At least you can recall quotations. My mind appears to be programmed to work with images, not literature. Probably explains why I'm so comfortable working in G and not text based languages!

You didn't become CLA/CPI/Champion without a pretty sharp mind...  My mind is, at least, sharp enough to know its limitations.  Which is fortunate, because, as we all know, "[a] man's got to know his limitations." ~ (Dirty) Harry Callahan
