I found it on the ground near an intersection. When I saw it still worked I was about to look through the contacts for someone to return it to, but I saw the following transcript in the messages to the owner's wife:

- We found your husbands phone

Where

- At mc donalds by were not there anymore

Can you please hold it we are at the aquarium

Oh, you left with it? Can I meet u somewhere?


- {location}

Where is that at

- {address}

are u shopping there? Own it? I'm trying to call. I can't get an answer. B

- Shooping here

I'm 22 miles away. My husband and kids are going thru the aquarium. I'm out front. i thank u for getting. But I need a game plan for getting it back.

- Im lit

- When are you gonna be nearby


As I said. I'm 22 miles away. My husband and kids are going thru the aquarium. I'm out front.

Are you staying there? Can u leave it with the clerk? Can u answer the phone


- We can arange somwthing tomorrow im busy

Absolutely not. Leave it where you are.

- I left

Can I am calling police right and calling boost mobile now your self a stolen phone keep I can have it traced

I will let police deal with it


I want to get it back to the owner, but I'm kind of worried that I'll e mistaken for the first person to find the phone, and they'll try to confront me or press charges.

I really want to get it back to them though.

In any case, I really didn't need this right now. I'm super busy for the next few days, and I'm exhausted from working every day and running around town after work. If I try to return it that'll dig into time that I need to take care of other stuff.

This is my signature, there are many others like it, but this one is mine.
If you take 110% of what I say seriously then you're gonna have a bad time.

Not a bad idea, but the police station is very far from anywhere I plan to be in the next few days.

It does seem like an overreaction, calling the police. Dude was messed up and being dodgy, but he was still actually trying to return it. He said they could set something up tomorrow.

It wouldn't be the first time I tried to return something to a jerk. But I don't want the phone either.

Honestly, I don't even want to deal with the person because I'm pretty sure it's going to be a hassle. I've got a mind to just message them that I'll leave the phone somewhere out of sight for them to find - but the phone's service has been cut off so I'd have to use my phone to message them, and they'll almost definitely try to talk to me from there.

You could get a temp number I think using something like Google hangouts. I don't know anything about if you can be found on your actual number thorough it. I just remember I had a buddy who it seemed like he'd get a new number every day he texted me.

Text them and just say "Hi, I just found your husband's phone. I'm not certain what actually transpired with the last person who found this phone. But, I'll leave it wherever" ... or you could ask a grocery store if they can hold it in their lost and found ... or try to say you found it there, I personally don't like lying though.

edit: also lol "I'm lit". Maybe I'm too old to understand what "lit" can be used for. Was that just an out of context statement?

Either drunk or high; I'd assume the latter.

I forgot all about this for a while.
