I cried. more than
I was convinced that I was not getting the phone back. I mean, these days, who is going to turn in a brand new iphone? I called the LAX, DFW and American Airlines lost & found lines like every 30 minutes on Wednesday, Thursday & Friday.
And then I got an email. One that I almost deleted because I thought it might be spam...
I am really not the superstitious type. But I was not going to let anything 'hinder' the fact that I might get that phone back. So Although I had this written about 2 weeks or so ago, I wasnt going to post until I got my phone. And you know what? I got it back!!! Such a gem guy found it, looked up my email and contacted me. We corresponded about the email and my address and upon my many requests to reimburse and provide a 'finder's fee', Mr Gem of a guy requested I donate the money. You guys, my faith was seriously restored that there are still good people in this world. Trust me, I realize I am SO so blessed. I had so many family and friends praying when I had totally lost hope. So grateful.
There have been a few hiccups and issues once I got it back, but I am pretty much in business now so no complaints here! Like I said, I am so blessed & relieved!!! Although....I will not even mention the fact that my phone has been in Hawaii...and I have not.
Happy Tuesday :)
What a sweet guy!!! Seriously, that just restored my faith in people too. Can't wait to see the pictures from your vacation =)
ReplyDeleteSo glad you found your phone! I felt awful for you when you tweeted you lost it. I would be so upset if I lost mine!!! And what a sweet guy. There are still some good people in the world :)
ReplyDeleteMr. Gem was such a sweet guy! I'm so glad he found it and you got it back :)
ReplyDeleteI lost my purse once in a lowe's parking lot and that part of town is known for it's car break-ins. I was 20 minutes away before I figured out I didn't have my purse. It had my MP3 player and my credit cards, everything. I called the store and someone had turned it in. Nothing was missing.
Unfortunately the same can't be said for my sister about 8 months ago she went to a restaurant and left her purse in her boyfriends truck and someone broke into it and stole her Iphone keys (she had a 2010 Chevy camaro at the time and to replace the keys it's $500) we had to change all the locks in her house, she had to get a new bank account etc. They used her credit cards at a gas station.
It took police 45 minutes to respond even though she was in a heavily populated area (mall area) so there should have been a police presence in the area but there wasn't.
That's awesome glad a nice person found it and returned it! Great to know there are still a few!
ReplyDeleteJust thought I'd share there is a find my iphone app that you can put on your phone then all you have to do is get on another phone and login ( can't remember) extactly what I had to do) and it will tell you the exact location of your phone. I have used it before just out of curiosity if it even worked.
