Putting the 'cum' in Eboracum

Phone that is, not the fruit. I found it by the road on my way to work and tried googling what to do but I just found links to people who want to keep a found phone, not from people who actually want to hand one in. Its an Orange, but it's locked so no way of finding out a number. I've had it most of today but no-one has rung to to say its theirs. Should I ring Orange or just hand it in to the police?

It may not be on an Orange contract, Police would be the best option as they can maybe trace the owner....and well done for being a good samaritan

if you ring orange and give them the serial no etc they will be able to trace the owner if its on contract.

You could open it and get the no of the sim then ring orange.

That was what I was thinking as the police station is next to where I work, but was just wondering if there was somethign else I could do. I know I'd be gutted if I lost my phone.

Leave it for the rest of the day then and hand in on way to work tomorrow. If it rings in the mean time then hey presto.

Would be lost without my phone also xx

if you give it to the police and they carn't trace the owner in 3months it becomes yrs. All you need is to have it unlocked.

its nice to see an honest person, i hope if i ever lose anything its you that finds it.

I must admit that over the years in my job i have found a good few handbags, laptop cases sports bags that have been stolen and dumped in golf club hedges etc. Have returned then all, one woman was so pleased because she had her diary in it with all her blood readings as she was a diabetic.

I'll give him a password to quote when he turns up. Seriously though, the woman who rang showed up as 'Mum' on his phone so I doubt there's a conspiracy. No-one but me, my boss and most of Fab know I have it, so what could possibly go wrong?

How do you know the person who phones you and you give the password to is the owner of the phone ?

Yes I am playing ..... but I am interested to know.

I gave 'Mum' my home number so whoever rings that is (hopefully) the owner.

Okay. When he arrives...if he's fit. Tell him he has to key your number in as you have grown attached to the phone and would like to call once a month to see how it's getting along.

Can I just ask - if you found the phone on the way to work, and the police station is near to where you work, why did you go to so much trouble holding onto it, googling to find out what to do, talking to your boss and then posting on here about it, making all these arrangementsa to have strangers turn up at your house top collect the phone ....

Why not pick the phone up, walk into the station and hand it to the front desk and let the lost property police deal with it and that would have been job done and cost you 5 mins of your head space time

Because when I said the police station is next to my work it still means a good long walk. I was on my lunchbreak when I found it (30 mins away from work/police station) and had to get back. I then had to rush home because I have a meet tonight. I was going to drop it in there tomorrow anyway as I am not in a rush like I was today.

Sometimes it might sound like I am a daft besom, but I'm not really. If the person in question doesn't get in touch tomorrow then it will go to the police station, but just thought it was a nice thing to see if I could do anything more. I won't be asking for nor expecting a reward - I remember how little money I had when I was a student.

Now, time for my meet.

There is no law to say you must hand things in to the police but there is legal onus on you to do everything you can to find the owner and I suspect you'd have a hard job explaining why you didn't hand it in to the police station if ever it was found on your person. BUT..... I'd have done the same as you. It's my guess that the police have more to do than to hang around answering lost phones. It would have been chucked with loads of others and then passed back to you if the owner never called to the police station within six weeks.

I think what you did is fantastic xx

".......... daft besom ......"

What a lovely expression! Down my way we say "as daft as a brush" but as a good groundsman, I do know what a besom is! And for those that don`t, it`s a birch broom or commonly known as a witch`s broom. They can be made with heather bristles too but are more commonly made with silver birch branches.

Don`t quote me but I think there is "theft by finding" that you could be done for, but I reckon you`d have to be in possession of something valuable for this to be used.

Nope. She found it in a place where you cannot be done for theft by finding.

It wasn't on anyone's property.
