I lost my Iphone at the Lincoln Memorial Celebration today..

[HipChick]

It clean fell out my pocket as I was leaving, and I didn't even feel it fall out....

A couple of people who saw my Iphone fall, chased me down in the mass crowds to get my attention to give it back..

I know they always warn folks about pickpockets at large populated events like...

But thank goodness there are still good people in the world..

I did help quite a few strangers today too, so maybe its Karma at work too

1. It's all about the company you keep.

And you were in the best of company today!

4. People continue to surprise me, in both respects...

I'm continually surprised both by the depravity AND the kindness of people. I've seen people run to track down the owner of lost phones and wallets countless times. When I worked at 7-11 most of the time people who found a phone or wallet would bring it to the counter concerned about getting it back to its owner. I can remember a customer finding $60 or more still in the ATM at the back of the store and bringing that to us, instead of pocketing it. On the other hand my father has had his wallet and phone stolen more than once, along with other possessions. And I won't go into the horrors you read about daily in the news.
