I found a mobile phone on the ground in the carpark, treid switching it on but couldnt .I noticed a man asleepin the car near where i found the phone so I tried to wake him, the window was open so after afew excuse mes I tapped him on the shoulder, no response, I ended up shaking him quite vigorously, he opened one eye twice ...at this point I gave up and took it to reception.
I mentioned the man and that he might be dead .....had no idea what to do really but turns out he was just asleeep as he wasnt there when I had finished playing tennis
Maybe I should have just kept the phone lol

i remember once when I was walking the dog and found a purse ......I almost got arrested that time .I rang the person to return it and there were about 6 rings in it , they almost called the police because the money was missing, which wasnt in it when i found it

@58lordstreet Oh wow! I'm sorry that happened to you in our country. The outback areas seem to be becoming more and more lawless lately.

I wouldn't have touched the man. He might have gotten angry. You did the right thing by turning it in.
