Yikes, my mobile went missing.

Went to a friends to watch some films, but decided we needed food.  So we headed off to Boundary Street in search of sustenance.  I made my way to the Forest for one of their vego "meat" pies - very authentic.

Sat down, and shrugged my jacket off while I ate.  Put the jacket back on and went.  Then back at the apartment I went to get my mobile from the interior breast pocket; not there.  And not in either side pocket, oh bummer, and for a few seconds I couldn't accept it wasn't there and patted my self down again.

The I realised it was really gone, and that I really needed to find it, or get the sim cancelled and the phone barred.  I asked my friends to start the films, I won't be back I thought, whether or not I find it.

I walked back to Forest, the while thinking about the txts, photos, and contact details, in essence my life!  I walked in and went to the seat, there were two ladies sitting next to the place I'd been, and no sign.  I went to the counter, and I asked if they'd had a phone turned in.  Patrick (who knows me from my audiopollen photography, and the social network) reached up to the top of the fridge and produced my phone.  What an over whelming sense of relief.

I've had a similar experience, though it featured my wallet. Once when I did my national service I left it on the train home, had to sheepishly collect it from the conductor of a train bound in the other direction.

The other time it fell out of (or was lifted from) my pocket in a nightclub. Some foul play was present at any rate as all cash was missing. At any rate a cleaning lady found it in the morning and it was promptly returned along with all important cards. Nowadays I only carry what I need during sparse visits to such establishments. Having the blocks on all my cards lifted took an eternity after both incidents.

Good point. Next time I'm out and drinking it's me and cash plus drivers license.
