Friday, I loose my baseball hat. This wouldn't be a big deal, 'cept the hat was from the Orange Bowl, that my University won back in early January. From the actual game. $30 hat. Gone.
Saturday: My dorm key falls off the key ring. Pretty sure this happend at Wal-Mart. Pretty sure I'll never see it again, though I'm going to go check a friend of mine's car, that I rode in, on the off chance it didn't actually fall out till I was back in the car. Wal-Mart says they couldn't find it, and no one had turned it into the lost and found. The school says I have till Friday to find the Key, before I will have to pay to replace the key. Its not juts "oh, we'll make a copy". Nope. Virginia Tech is a State Institution, which means the locks on the dorm door, the mailbox that corrisponds to my dorm door, my key, my roommates key, and the "Loaner Key" that I'm using now, have to be replaced. There goes $50....
To top it all off, Tonight: I get out of dinner at 6:50. By the time I get to the academic building across campus (6:55) I realize my phone has fallen out of my pocket. I go back, retrace my route, check the dining hall. No phone on the ground, no one has found it at the dining hall. Go back to the academic building, sit through the meeting I was now late for. Borrow a friends phone, try to call and text my phone, nothing.
So I'm panicing at this point, right? Really bad day, phone gone, gonna cost a fortune to replace, etc, etc.
I get back to my dorm around 8pm. Theres an email from my Mom. At about 6:52 (two minutes after my phone goes mia), my Mom got a call from a girl who found my phone, and told her to tell me that she would be droping it off at the Student Union. I get there before she does, leave contact info with the Lost and Found at Squires (thats the school's Student Union), and about 8:50, I get a call telling me my phones been dropped off.
Phone probably could have sold for $40-60 on the internet. There are truly some good people on this planet.

Yay!
Ouch.
Sorry about the hat and the key.
At least the phone was returned. Good for her for turning it in. ^^
Most people wouldn't think to call someone on the contact list, to find out who's phone it is.
