DUN DUN DUN
I have a really funny story. Last week I was leaving work with Cole and his buddy and I realized I left my phone in the restroom. I went back to get it and it was no where in sight. After looking everywhere and deciding that it was definitely left in the restroom, I came to the conclusion that it was taken. I was so so so upset. That phone was not cheap. Also, it had all my info in it. So after going home, I remembered hearing about this service that Sprint offers that allows you to see on a map exactly where your phone is. It was meant for parents trying to keep track of their kids, but I decided to use it to find my phone. Well, I called up Sprint and set it up, and to make a long story short, found where my phone was. I was able to see exactly where it was located, within a 9 foot radius. It was about a mile or two away from my work. The phone was in the car in a parking lot outside an outlet store. I sent Cole and his friend, Jared to go hunt it down. I know what you are thinking. What are they going to say when they confront the person? I didn't know what to expect either....all I know is that I wanted my phone back! Well, I'll save you all the boring details, but in a nut shell, They found the car they thought the phone was in, and waited for the person to come out of the store. They called the police and explained everything to the officer that showed up. When the car owner came out (it was 3 older black women), the officer waited for them to pull out and drive away and then pulled them over. (I'm guessing for legal reasons). He said something like" I am pulling you over because you failed to heed the street sign, but really, I'm pulling you over because I know you have a stolen phone in here" lol I thought that was hilarious. So they gave it up, gave it to Cole, and therefore, I got my phone back! YAY!!!
