Hello!!

Hi again! It's late where you are!

Hi again! It's late where you are!

Yes, it's 2:12 AM, but the night owl in me can't log off! I'm about to go to bed. This is one of my not so good summer vacation habits. Since I don't have to work, I stay up late and wake up pretty late as well.

See I do that all the time....without a day job that requires a regular time commitment, I sometimes find myself up at 2am on a regular basis. However, I have to meet a contractor at a job site tomorrow by or before 9AM because I have to be back home to make a 10:20 vet appt at a place half an hour from my house.

I need time to trap and put the kids in carriers and get them in the car and get on my way AFTER meeting with the contractor, so I better git my butt to bed!

Hi Ness.


What I hate about new phones they are so valueable to steal. How many people loose them compared to how many get turned into a lost and found is perplexing. Finding a lost phone is worth something for often just a few hours for the owner to get it locked or service shut down. A percentage are password protected. Yet people take these things all the time, even though in a few hours it's just a piece of plastic and nothing more.

Sleep well everyone. It was a long day and I'm going to sleep.

 

[franandaj]

Skiing, I think that's what happened to my phone! But I locked it out within minutes of noting it lost. However, no one turned it in, so I bet someone has it!

I'm going to bed too. Fran's surgery is scheduled for Thursday. I'm thinking of going to the park to check out the new club while she is under the knife. Is that wrong? I don't see where I'm going to check it out otherwise for at least a couple months...

Good night everyone. Yes, the mini computers (phones) we carry are very expensive now. I just hope it is not too expensive to replace mine. I agree that people cannot use them for more than a few hours. They should turn them in. Mine is password protected with a complex (rather than a simple four digit password), so they would have a hard time keeping mine if it was not broken that is. I had to make a hard password. Xander kept watching me enter the simple ones. He'd watch and remember. Then, he would send texts, emails and make FaceTime calls to people from my phone!

Crap had a friend of a Facebook friend who logged into her iCloud after losing her iPhone on the Wonder. An employee name Nelson "recovered it." He took many pictures of himself with it without turning iCloud off. She posted the pictures on Facebook and had friends share it until a different Disney employee saw the post. I know she got her phone back but am not sure what happened to Nelson.

So, with all the discussion of lost iPhones, I have a question.

If an iPhone is lost and is in a lost and found for well over three months and never reclaimed, what do you guys think should be done with it? It would just be thrown out if it hadn't been reclaimed.

I'm asking because my mom's store has a lost and found with a 90 day policy. A few months ago, she brought home an iPhone 4 that had been in the lost and found for about 4 months and was going to be thrown out because it had never been reclaimed. She gave it to me, and I use it for the camera and I have some games on there. It was never reclaimed or even had questions regarding it, otherwise they would have returned it to the person.

I thought I'd NEVER find LTP!!! That's what I get for being M.I.A.

My eyes are deceiving me!

I know. The school year tends to get the best of me especially if I don't have Mickey plans. I'm finally on vacation until August 17th!!

Some of us do.....for next year. DisMeet in September/October 2013. Are you interested? A whole year to save and plan around the Chiro.

My eyes are not deceiving me. There's that moped!



I think I'll be around on Turdsday....Wedneday in the US. Hope to catch that moped then.

Possession is 9/10 the law. That phone is yours now.

 

[DisneyFirefly]

I know... I've had someone tell me that I stole it, though, but how can I have stolen it when the person who lost it never claimed it, and as such, it was going to be thrown out anyway?

It's yours.
The railways here have a yearly auction of any unclaimed lost and found with money raised going to charity...

If it is locked into a specific network it will only work on that network. But you should actually be able to use it as a phone once you put your own sim card in...as long as it is the 'right' network or unlocked

 

[PrincessInOz]

Lasting. Gonna be a little busy the next week or so. But I'll try and catch up when I can.

Dana - Don't worry about what someone else said. The phone is yours.

Whoever lost that iPhone is a dork. There is a free app called where is my iPhone. He or she should have been able to find it at any time. If he/she was unable to reclaim it, a remote wipe could have been done from the app as well. I would say never logging into iCloud to find the phone after 4 months means the owner did not look very hard for it. By the way, if you never turned iCloud off, any pictures you take will go into the original owners iCloud account. Make sure you never take racy photos that you would not want posted on the Internet or better yet, go into settings and ensure iCloud back up is off!

I think 90 days is a reasonable amount of time to allow someone to reclaim it. If they have not, it is better to take it then have it thrown away.

Yeah, it's an AT&T phone. I can't connect it to a network right now anyway, as I don't have the money, but I still use it for some of the features.

Yeah, I agree. It was in the safe at the store for a LONG time, so they should have been able to find it. There was still data on there when I got a hold of it and the phone was locked, but I was able to unlock and wipe all the data off of it, so it's set up with my iTunes account now. I actually checked last night about the iCloud, just in case, but everything's set up with my email address

Thanks!

Just popping in for a quick flyby, waiting at the vet to get my kitties back from the treatment room. The kitten plan is now $350!
