    Obviously there were no decent naked photos on it... so it was worthless.

    If I found it I would have smashed it up, but that's just me.

    That depends.

    If it was an iPhone where's probably a 90% chance you're never seeing it again.

    An old fan, it's probably being handed in.

    But a Nokia 3210. 100% you're never seeing it again. Who the hell isn't gonna keep that?

    Original snake FTW!!

    It's a Nokia, you probably would have come off worse.

    A Nokia 3210? The sense of dissapointment when I realised it had slimed its way back into my life would have been heart breaking.

    I found a wallet with all the cards in it, rang the bank with their name, the bank told me they'd ring me back. Then the guy rings me, the bank had given him MY number. He lived nearby, so I went out and met him, only 2hours after his wallet had gone missing, and I barely got a thank you, he seemed more put out by the fact that he had to come get his wallet, as if it was my fault. Weirdo!

    I lost my phone on the bus one time. My friend got a call by some girl saying that she had it so he called me and I went over to her house and got it. Gave her 20 quid cause she was very decent for going to to the trouble. The second time I lost my phone a very similar thing happened. They were both ****e phones but it would have been a pain getting contacts back etc. the third time I lost my phone I didn't get it back. That was an iPhone.

    My brother lost his iPhone on a night out in Dublin and some really decent guy rang my phone and arranged to meet to give it back .
    I was seriously surprised that he got it back. Some genuinely nice people out there!!!

    I would have put it inside a sock and whacked it off someone's head and tried to frame you for it.

    had been thinking about getting an i phone but after losing my [EMAIL="cr@p"]cr@p[/EMAIL] phone and it being handed back in i can cope with the ancient phone for a bit longer:)

    my point was that i doubt if i had an i phone it would have been handed back:)but luckily with an anceint phone it brings the honestly

    I have an iPhone! I once lost my jacket with my iPhone in it. I always keep my iPhone, wallet, keys etc in my jacket but thank God this time I still had my wallet and keys with me and it was just my iPhone which was gone!

    Anyway, the dude who had my iPhone rang me and told me to meet him 10 minutes later.

    When I met him, he beat me up and took my wallet and keys!

    I've seince gotten a new iPhone.

    Did I mention I have an iPhone?

    aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh orginal snake rocked- then they ruined it:(

    i remember in 1st year our sub got highest score possible in orginal snake- he had basically made the snake swirl and take over whole box. He never played it again and showed the last shot to everyone(back when it could be saved as a last game)

    He said it had taken him months, At the time we thought it was the cooest thing ever- now i reliase he was prob a loser :)
