The most bizarre thing happened to me in these last few days. I don’t know how to explain it. It was weird, wild, and unbelievable.

I had been waiting for my new phone to get here via a friend from out of town. I’d been without my phone for a good 10 days at least. It had been pinged at a known criminal activity location. Then, it was pinged at an apartment complex located in the neighborhood over. My friend’s phone number was listed in the message, along with a reward offered, when the phone gets turned on. It also had in the message in the statement “Please be kind.”

After I received my new phone and had it for a few days, my friend came over. It was the day after Christmas. He said there was a gift for me.
He brought over a bunch of sweets that his sisters and mother had made. Then, he looked at me and said, “I have another present for you.”
He then proceeded to pull out my old phone out of the bag and smiled. My mouth dropped. It was without it’s Otter case and lanyard, but there it was. My old maroon beautiful cell phone.

Turns out somebody had called and said they had the phone, and asked about the reward. My friend ends up meeting this gentleman who called, a tall, cleanly bald shaven head, with a puffy vest on. He gave the guy the reward money, which was $50.00, and obtained my old phone. He said he believed it had exchanged a couple of hands until he got a hold of it.

I couldn’t believe it. Nor my friend. I still am shocked and think why couldn’t I have waited a few more days?

Oh well. Who would’ve guessed. I have a tendency to lose things, phones included. This had been my 4th phone I had lost. My friend, Mike, said now I have a back up in case something like this happens again.

It goes to show that sometimes the unexpected can happen, and there are kind people out there. Unbelievable.
