After a little mosh pit session at the kasabian gig.
They rang it in complete disaster mode. They want to give me money for picking it up off the floor. Is this a ruse 😆

I think it's a kind thankyou for not being a dick and nicking the phone.

they are probably scared you will nick it, they don't want to give you money

Open it, take out the memory card, put it in your phone, take a photo of your man veg, replace memory card into their phone, return with cheeky grin?

If it has a memory card.

^ don't do this until you make sure that there aren't some boobiez or other things on the memory card that you'd like to keep a copy of! 😀

Did this when we found a phone near Haslingden. We left a short video of my bum, phoned the owner's Mum and left it in the pub for him to collect later.

Just had a text. Theyre on the way to the hotel to pick up. Phone is locked and I can't take a photo, gutted!
Hope someone would do the same for me. Feels good to be nice.

As above, just take out the memory card and do it using your phone!

I've done this before.

Found a phone on the beach. Called Mum and once she had calmed down thinking her Daughter was in trouble gave me an address to send it to. Couple of weeks later got a thank you letter with some gift vouchers.

Maybe i'm a bit naive but it never even crossed my mind to do anything else. Though some of the ideas above made me chuckle!

I bet you can take a photo while it's still locked.

What phone is it?

I actually narrowly avoided this with an iPhone I found outside my block of flats - it was a hot day and after topping up the 'leccy with a key i had already charged, I found an iphone on the way in.

Went upstairs, dropped the dressing gown as the flat was hot ["if in doubt get it out"] and looked over the phone.

Managed to activate the camera by prodding it, and realised I was looking at a great shot of my homunculus. Fumbled the thing in surprise and the camera went off, capturing only a blur of my carpet.

I returned it that night to the owner, the nice woman who lived with her daughter in the flat above; There would have been no way to delete the image without the passcode!!

I guess I would then have been one iPhone 4s up 😀

I Phone. From the lock screen press the camera icon at the bottom right and swipe up. Photo junk, done.

I always imagined you being clean shaven down there.

Take it out the case, draw a willy on the back and put the case back on.

😆
Handed back to a very grateful nice young lad. Came over to the hotel with his mrs and a very nice bottle of red. Feeling good and good karma may well swing my way sometime soon.

I'm still apologising after two weeks for doing a similar thing to my wife's shopping list. She got half way round the supermarket before finding the "art work". 😳

I found a Casio watch after a gig at Bristol Uni once, picked it up and was going to hand it in but there was a big scrum around the desk.
Got home and noticed it was a data one, with a bunch of contact numbers on, including one called 'Mum', so I called it.
Junior was a student, and really annoyed at losing his watch, so mum was dead chuffed that it had been found.
Got a nice thank you, and karma points for finding and returning it to its rightful owner.
I lost a mobile once, and a nice young lady picked it up and phoned work to say she'd found it, so I gave her a fiver as a thank you.
