Lost and found

On Wed, I went onboard bus 174 to leave for office.

Took on a seat on the upper deck of the bus. Usually I choose the seats behind but just for that day I choose the front seats instead.

Then on the seat there was this mobile phone. Oh! someone left if behind.

The phone is locked but just not able to unlock it cos not familiar with the Samsung phone.
So I just brought it back to office.

Busy throughout the whole day, and I totally forgot the phone.

Next morning I heard some unfamiliar sounds in the room when I am still asleep.
Only then I realise is coming from the phone. So I tried to unlock it again and I managed.
I quickly search through the contact list and found the owner's mother contact.
As it is still early, I send a msg to her that I am holding on to the mobile.

Within a minute, I received a call from the owner who is just a secondary school boy.
After verifying the details of the phone does belong to him, I spoke to his mother to make arrangements to return the phone.

Same afternoon, I meet up with his mom at Bt Batok MRT. A middle aged Chinese lady, she is so greatful that the phone was found. She then pushed me 2 packets of snacks and biscuits as a simple token of appreciation.

Well, felt very good after returning the phone to the owner. Can imagine it was me who lost the mobile when lots of particulars and info in it.

To all my frens, take good care of your belongings. Once lost, sometimes may not be able to retrieve.
