Agreed. Yes sometimes doing the right thing, isn't always the easiest. But the more people that do the right thing, hopefully it comes back 10 fold. Probably the "easiest" thing at the time may have been your son to give it to the driver advising it was found on the bus. The Driver of the bus should then pass it to the bus companies office or lost property, so if the person lost it rang, it would be there. I'd assume that's where I'd start calling if it was lost, trying to backtrack my steps.
But yes, sometimes you run around doing a lot of things to try help a situation. :) Where would the human race be if we all didn't bother,..lol ;) I'f sure if the person get's there phone back they would be very grateful. (I remember seeing a poster in a park recently about a lost phone and the person offering reward, as they hadn't backed anything up off and it had photos of their just recently passed away pet which was very traumatic to them, and something they could never get unless they got their phone back.....). You have to be commended for your efforts,...you never know , the universe may shine down on you and deliver a reward :)) Kind regards Daniel Sent from my iPhone 4s --- Daniel Kerr MacWizardry Phone: 0414 795 960 Email: <daniel AT macwizardry.com.au> Web: <http://www.macwizardry.com.au> **For everything Macintosh** On 10/03/2012, at 12:31 PM, Ronda Brown wrote: > Oh Roger, > > Never tell your son to just leave it alone.
