Mines, Mines (meaning my telephone) email this discussion to a friend?

I was on the phone talking to my daughter a few minutes ago. All of a sudden she just stopped talking to me and was saying "what is this", it sort of frighten me because she at home alone. I said what is it, she replied something is vibrating, I kept asking question because she was just giving me little brief statements without telling me what was going on. Then she stated that she had been to the store and someone's cell phone must have fallen in her bag and it was vibrating. So she was looking through the phone for a number to call to see if she could find out who the phone belong to when the phone vibrated again, she answered it and was trying to find out who this person was calling so she could find out who the phone belong to. The person on the other end couldn't understand her and she couldn't understand that person. So after she hung up she told me the only thing she could understand was that he was saying mines, mines. And he told her that he worked at the Chinese restaurant. The restaurant is near the store where she made her purchases.
It is not far from where she lives so she has gone to take the phone to this person.

Would you have given the phone back?
What would you have done?

I'd definately given the phone back... I know what it feels like to have lost something & I would like to get it back if somebody have picked it up...

Hi Chevee,


That was good the cell phone just falling into her bag like that lol, that chap was very lucky because I don't think another person would take it back, and yes I would take it back to the owner or get them to come and collect it from me. Hugs.

Maybe I am not a very trusting person but I don't think I would want them to come to my house to pick it up. I would rather take it to them like this at their work or in some other public place.

Yes, I agree, TCY. These days, I could see someone trying to get into your home with evil intentions by using a trick like that... putting a stolen cell phone in your bag, then calling it and asking for your address so they could "pick it up".

I say stolen cell phone because that's quite a large market these days, stealing cell phones and selling them cheap. It's easy to get the number of the phone so they could call you, although I don't know how, personally.

It does seem awfully odd that a cell phone would "fall" into someone's bag without the owner realizing it! I hope Chevee's daughter has no trouble once she gets to this restaurant!

That is funny, even if you didn't mean it to be, it was.. I can imagine a cell phone, that you never knew you had possession of vibrating in your purse.. It sounds like the person who owned the phone couldn't speak very good English, and that was funny also.. Sounds like a comedy of errors.. I would have given the phone back but I would have had to tell everyone that I knew this funny story..

I wonder if she will get a free meal for returning the phone to the guy. hahaha Yes, I would return the phone to the owner. Unless the phone is locked so no one can get into it then it should be easy to find the owner, or the owner will call the phone like this gentleman did to find the phone. One time when I worked at the race track here someone turned in a phone to the announcers booth and it was locked so all the announcer could do was tell everyone to check and see if they have their cell phone and if not come claim it. The owner come up and described the phone then he unlocked it so we knew it was his. He was a race car driver so he might not have known he lost it until after the races if someone had not turned it in.

Yes, I would give it back if I knew who it belonged to. I found someone's health card on the ground by my mail box one day and I called the name of the company and told them the person's name and they asked me to send it to them. Which I did. I don't like to keep things that don't belong to me if I know who it belongs to. I would hope that if I lost something and someone found it, they would do the same for me. She did the right thing. happy
