Last time I lost my work phone, I found it in the passenger footwell of my car. After I’d cancelled it 😆

Well on my personal phone I experimented with turning it off – but it seems that the culprit was actually the Samsung version of find my phone which used location services heavily. I suppose I’d turned it off on my work phone but then I thought maybe I hadn’t – but in any case, I don’t seem to be able to get any info out of Google about that specific phone.

I once lost a camera after driving home for Xmas via a walk around Silbury Hill. I looked everywhere for it, no sign. (And no clever tech to find it – this was the 80s.) I drove back to London and promptly found the camera sitting on the transmission tunnel of my Beetle. I decided that the ley lines around Silbury had done magical things and whisked my camera away, returning it once I drove over the same combination of ley lines.

Go and check the local ley lines and fairy mushroom rings?

(I don’t believe in ley lines. Fairies on the other hand…)

Found mine, it was on the desk next to me all the time!

That’s the same model of nokia I threw in the bin earlier funnily enough.

I hope you mean ‘recycled’ ?

Stuff goes in a bin, the stuff that’s in the bin gets recycled. Our refuse from the office is sent to a recycling plant.

Do you not put your recycling in a bin? Do you specifically say ‘I put it in the recycling’ so everyone knows you’re environmentally conscious and it makes you feel warm inside 🙂

No I say ‘the bin’ for stuff that goes in the recycling bin which is general recycling, but phones don’t go in there. They have to be taken to a special place.

Given up now anyway.. called it in lost.

They have to be taken to a special place.

Like a phone heaven (or hell for that nokia)? I have people to do that special place thing anyway.

Yours is in a very special place!

Well, it’s basically jsut a drawer… a sort of phone limbo until I get round to sending them off.

Or losing them 🙂

You’ve checked your phone drawer obviously? 😀

and promptly found the camera sitting on the transmission tunnel of my Beetle. I decided that the ley lines around Silbury had done magical things and whisked my camera away, returning it once I drove over the same combination of ley lines.

A magical place indeed, it even manages to create a transmission tunnel on a car that’s rear-engine, rear-wheel drive… 😉

A mate of ours mislaid his work phone on the day it was due to be returned to his soon to be ex-employer several hundred miles from his new home. There was a lot of driving up and down between places he stayed before – after another fruitless journey – finding it in his wash-bag.

Is your phone in my mate’s wash-bag maybe? Do you want me to ask him?

On the bike frame, being used as a Strava recording gadget? 😈

Post up your number- we can all ring it.

Nah, no point. He’s left it on flight mode to save his battery

You lot are no use AT ALL

You know what we’re good at? Knowing where our phones are.

Have opted out of a separate phone for business years ago, but in the days when I had one, I’d lose it on a weekly basis. I once found it in a lunch box in the fridge after two days of working out the excuse I’d need to tell my IT Director. Not had a 2nd phone since.

Put a reward notice up in your local area.

My mate lost his phone once, gave up looking and got another then about 2 weeks later went to put on a pair of trainers he hadn’t worn since and it was in one of them…

Whilst everyone is searching around various places, can you keep an eye out for the pair of XL sized grey and black neoprene mountain bikes gloves I lost about two weeks ago.
Ta!
