heres my ny story from earlier today:
doing pickup truck moving job for friend tom w. and unknowingly droped cell phone in street making 1st pickup on w 39th street. heading over 59th street bridge tom g gets call from person who found the phone. they went into the memory and redialed the last made call (me to tom coordinating 1st pickup). he said were in queens and would be back in the city in 1 1/2 hours and that wed call him back then. caller said he worked at broadway and 38th street. i gave tom 20 bucks when we got to the address and he jumped out and took the elevator to the 21st floor. the caller was a male asian receptionist in the garment industry. he was happy to get the $ and i was happy when tom came back with my phone. wooo-dy wooo-hoo
I lost a cheap pre paid phone in a cab once. The cabbie brought it back to me when I called, but was *very* disappointed with my $20 reward. Maybe garment industry workers have lower expectations.
All right!
I once left my daytimer in a phone booth and a photographer found it and called a number scratched inside--a friend on 3rd Ave.
When I picked it up the photographer said--"you've got some wild doodles in this thing!"
I called MOM in the phonebook of the phone I found in a cab. I got chocolates.
