    I was walking on the parking lot towards the post office and there was an iPhone laying on the ground, I pick it up and as I pick it up a guy from the car parked perpendicularly across, near the post office knocks on the glass and calls me, opens the door and says they've(there were like 3-4 women in the car) been looking for it all over the parking lot, and that it is his, I ask him, "are you sure?" and I hear a resounding yes from everyone, like a completely moron, I hand it over without even asking him him to call it, if it's his....

    Now I feel like a complete jackass and an idiot, I think I've been had beautifully, they did not exactly look like people that'd own an iPhone, drove a Nissan Micra... looked like travellers now that I think of it.

    So someone that drives a Nissan Micra can't own an Iphone??

    Saw some dude picking up an iPod in a parking lot today and pretended it was mine.

    He didn't even ask me to ring it, just handed it over.

    Sucker!

    You've been had? Of course you mean the real owner, to whom you were about to return it has been had?

    What would you have done with it otherwise?

    I think you gave it up to easy. Next time get them to ring it. If they have no phone, ask for names in contacts or what pics/songs are on it.
    You have been had. No one who drives a micra owns an iPhone. Anywhere.

    I've got nothing against Mircas but it's that the car was obviously run down and old.

    Maybe they had to drive a Micra because all the money was spent buying an overpriced phone?

    I was an iPhone lost in a carpark, someone picked me up and gave me to someone else.

    The end.
