What would you want to happen if you lost your cell phone?

When I worked at a college my staff would often bring me a cell phone that a student had left in one of the computer labs. I would look in the directory for "home" or "mom" or something that indicated a family member and call. If I was unable to reach anyone and no one called the phone by the time I was ready to leave, I would take the phone home with me incase someone called it.

Frankly, I think this 11-year-old doesn't so much find this many things as that she probably steals them. That is just too much "luck" for a child that age.

I would definitely return the phone. I have returned money, etc, and always been glad I did. Once, I lost my purse, and the person who found it called me...the phone number was on my checks. It was returned with nothing missing, and yes, I gave him a some money in gratitude, though he never hinted that he wanted a thing.

The response the girl who lost her phone received was uncalled for and rude.

Again, I think the other child is helping herself to property that isn't hers.

If I lost my phone, I would appreciate someone giving it back to me. I think that a young child having a phone is a little ridiculous in the first place. Of course they are going to lose it. I wouldn't demand a reward. It's kind of like holding it hostage, but I would ask to speak with the parents. They should know that their child isn't handling the responsibility well.

I agree with you. She should give you reward for finding the phone. For it wasn't sold to somebody else. Giving reward and informing the parent is one way to teach people to value things that they have. For not all people on this world have the chance to buy a phone. Do this things means that you are concern to the parent who do hard work just to buy their children yet they doesn't value. Shame on them!
