    Ummm... Found a phone last night after night clubs (I'm not giving any details... you'll need to confirm these to prove its your phone!) but its Samsung Galaxy S3. I've charged it and kept it on but it's on the lockscreen.

    Pm me if you or someone you know may own it.

    I'll drop it into the garda station if it's not claimed by tomorrow night :eek:

    I've been on the wrong end of this situation my self before and I'd have given anything to get my phone back.

    I'm just hoping it can get sent home :o

    Keep it with you for another few days...turned on and charged.
    The owner will probably ring it today to see if anyone answers.
    If you hand it in to the Guards they will probably just switch it off (or pull the battery) and the owner will possibly never get it back.

    Say it to the night club too. Fair play for the effort. Posting this from my phone that I lost last night and was reunited with a while ago. Not nice losing a phone

    Hang onto it for a while and leave it on, I wouldn't worry too much about having property that's not yours, you're making an effort to find the owner.

    Or, maybe they have lookout installed, and they reported the phone stolen, and gave the Gard's the GPS co-ordinates. You could end up with the cops at your door, and the "I was minding it for them, and I was just about to turn it in", story won't fly.

    I highly doubt that will happen. Could make a good movie though

    Great! Out of curiosity - did the owner ring the phone or how did they re-unite with it? Nice story, was following the thread and wondering if it would have a happy ending. Glad it did :)

    One of their friends rang it and I got him to give pass on my own number to save the hassle :)

    The owner had all but given up because when I found it, it was dead. He wasn't expecting someone to take it home charge it and return it :D

    On the the S4 you can put info on the lock screen, I'm sure its the same on the S3 and iirc it was there on S2 too.

    I have my home no and my name on the lock screen - in case the phone is found by someone like the OP

    I found an iPhone 4 a few months ago. Locked etc. I opened the SIM card port and found out it was an O2 sim. Called into O2 in Cruises St who contacted the owner who called me and arranged collection.
