a music venue...we used to go to the first number listed that sounds like someone who would be a close contact (i.e. "Mom" in the address book), call them, tell them we found the phone and ask them whose phone it is and to inform the owner we had it.

We'd then hold it for pick-up, both giving them a word to repeat on pickup (e.g. Alligator) and make them describe something about the contents of the phone. ("It's full of dick pics" would suffice.)

No mom, uncle, aunt, home or anything like that. Just a lot of people and none of them have phone numbers! Emails and fb profiles only. Maybe its because the phone says "no sim card" but theres definitely a sim card in there. Maybe he threw the thing out the window.

and let that person know that they need to get in touch with whomever it is on the caller ID ...

and keep your mouth shut about the pictures. Especially if the "young man" looks like he could be under 18 ...

There are no numbers on the caller ID. In fact, there are no numbers in the phone at all. It doesnt appear to be reading the sim.
Yeah... I'd be shocked if he were that young but I guess theres no real way of knowing. Looks to be in his early 20s or so, but I get what you mean.

"In Case of Emergency". That would be the person any "emergency" people would call.

Otherwise, like someone said before, call the last number dialed and let them know. Might help.

Brain cramp. Theres no phone log and no #'s in the phone. Its odd.

When I worked at NCIX, computer retailer, one day an old man came in and started browsing porn on one of the laptops. And it was a very busy day, people all around him. And I don't just mean bikini picks, this was hard core stuff! We couldn't understand it, right out in public this guy was watching porn with people and kids all around him. We of course asked him to stop, he didn't seem to bat an eyelash. Just changed the site and walked out.

Funny as hell to but also kinda disturbing. The guy was 70 or 80 yrs old too so maybe he had dementia or something I don't know.

You can always blame dementia.

without using her hands and insistently asked repeatedly if I wanted to see it. I said "Sure" just to get rid of him. This was when I was working a register (cash admission to shows) and everybody behind me can see what I'm looking at over my shoulder. Um, well...she was shooting the balls out of her genitals.

Who has video of their niece doing that?! Why would I want to see that? Oh my fucking god. It's clearly some sort of prank on me but that guy was skeezy as fuck. Please go with the nice bouncer out the side door and wait for the po-lice, do not pass "Go", do not collect $200. Just go to jail for creating a public lewd display.

(I don't know what I get the exhibitionists. I started out on the door and I used to deal with the flashers and public wankers too. I move inside to management and I still get the freaks.)

(where it belongs!)

if I wasn't going to return it, I'd probably sell it before I'd trash it. Even a 1st generation iPhone is still worth $100.

Just delete the contents first.

Not too old either since it hooks up to my charger. The sim in it isnt the carrier on the phone though and the phone says "no sim card". It seems to have a sim utility that says "unlock" but it doesnt seem to do anything. I dont know how to make it work. ahhh!

could be one of the Young Republicans ... wait, you said he actually looked young.

Never mind.

I'd say that he's definitely not too bright so... you might be on to something there!

And probably when it was dropped, where he has been, and who he has contacted in the last 3 years.

and how long ... um ... he's been there ...

about their experiences at work encountering people who seem to be trying to display sexual content to shock others, maybe the "loser" set it down and waited nearby for the first person to pick it up and try to see if they could identify the owner, just so he could see their reaction (flashing by phone proxy?)

I googled what to do if you find a cell phone- some say try to text the last person who called or texted, saying you'll leave it at a store near where you found it.

Some said turn it in to whatever company the phone is from, and they can contact the owner by email from their records.

considering there are no numbers or texts in the phone at all. I hadnt considered that someone could have left it on purpose. I think Il try a craiglist lost and found ad. Seems to be a common place for people to put things. And since theres no other info on it, and no mobile service... :shug:

I don't see the point of taking pictures of junior and keeping it on the phone.
That is kinda disgusting. Why would you want to see your own Johnson? Unless he is doing this for medical purposes and needs to show it to his doctor.

I dont know. They're the ONLY pics on the phone. And theyre definitely selfies.

Things you cant unsee.

I would fix computers for people now and then, and uhhhh, there are just things seen that can't be unseen.

Finding a cell phone and searching for information to return the phone is one thing; looking through photographs is out of line, imo...

there are no phone numbers, no texts & no other info in the phone. I had no reason to think such pics would have been there. Believe me, its not something I was trying to see.
