Exactly how much effort is one supposed to put into

Doing the Right Thing?

3 days ago I found a PALM Trio or Centro...anyway

some fancy phone

and

I need a phone since mine is 4 y/o

Now mountain rules state that a ground score is a ground score if there is no one within visible sight when ground score is made

but

since it has been said that I am of high moral standing... [roll]

I have a need to return the phone since they are not cheap

so I purchased a charger since it was dead and went through the phone

Left a message on "dads" cell stating who i was and what I found with personal and work numbers to contact me so I can return the phone

24hrs goes by and nothing

day two I go through it some more and find out the owners name and where she works

call work, identify myself, and ask to speak with "Courtney"

no joy

ask for some contact info so i can return her property

no joy, they won't give me anything

day three

find more info in the phone

find out that "mom" lives just down the road from one of our quarters

stop by on the way off shift this morning to return phone

people wont answer door

I can hear them inside

they wont answer the door

WTF?

at what point do i get to keep the phone and not have bad karma?

The point that they wouldn't open the door.

You've put in a good effort - tried multiple contact points.  Give it until monday and then call it you new phone.  Assuming you can get it activated in your name.

-Throttle's on the right, so are the brakes.  Good luck.

You've gone above and beyond and they've been weird about it. Give it another day or two and then erase everything and keep it.

Turn it in to the Po-Po; there's something fishy going on.

it's a sim card phone, I just have to swap out the cards

people can just be secluded and dont want to be bothered. There was a video of a police officer who was struggling with a man hyped on drugs and the cop was wrestling with him for a good 5-10 minutes and dozens of people just walked by.

Call it yours, i would of stopped after calling her major contacts.

that's what my paranoia was thinking

I found it on the tailboard of my unit

The previous owner is...maybe was

young and attractive

My paranoia figures chick got taken but one of the takers got cold feet and left it there on purpose

You've called "Dad" and "work" as well as gone by "Moms" house. Are there friends listed?

I have found her to be disagreable

the owner probably already reported it lost and it won't work.  replace the sim card and enjoy the new tele.

The souls of the damned or departed follow their possessions.  Turn it in to the Po-Po.


(I don't ascribe to the above "soul" thing, it just sounded apocalyptic and scary.)

She's apparently a snotty, stuck up pregnant dog who doesn't care about her terribly expensive phone. Clearly she doesn't need it.


But I think you should go the extra mile. Check the phone-knowing the type of girl this sounds like, I'd lay money there's at least one picture of her on there she'd prefer not be on the internet.


Post it on craigslist under missed connections.


"To whom it may concern. If the ass pictured above is yours, I found your phone. Email me."



You'll probably make a "best of".


If the state had not cut funding for the mental institutions, this project could never have happened.
