Ever Found a Cell Phone?

Tonight, it was a Samsung Galaxy Note 8 with cash inside.

Taking the cell is just isn't me I know how expensive and important it is.

I'd be lying if I didn't think about taking the cash but a few months ago I dropped my wallet at GoodLife too, different location. Someone gave it to the staff in front and I didn't expect the money to be there but it was.

After 20 minutes he came running in, his driver's licence was also in the wallet case. He thanked me and gave me $20.

Not judging but have you found a cell phone. Did you keep it, why and what did you do with it?

1. clamshell phone that was a work phone to someone at NavCan. I opened the phone, contacted one of the two only saved contacts, and returned the phone. Got a NavCan gift box containing a pen
2. Galaxy Grand Prime 2015, I considered keeping it, but it was pin locked, and a factory reset got it Google locked. I sim swapped in order to figure out the owner's phone number, called it, got the guy's name from voicemail greeting, found the guy's landline number from white pages, and returned the phone. Got a $20
3. Galaxy S7 (can't remember if it was an edge phone). Driveway in the neighbourhood. Left it in the mailbox, notified the guy who lives there as he was rolling into his driveway
4. busted smartphone (shattered glass). Probably old. Sim card was micro sim, couldn't be bothered to go through the hassle to find the owner of a severely smashed phone (found it on the ground downtown near city Hall), used it as a trade-in on a Koodo deal
