Who has the best story about losing your phone and then finding it?

I was in a furniture store and set my phone down to measure a lamp. I went to pick my phone back up, it wasn’t there so(foolishly and absentmindedly) I just assumed I’d forgotten that I chucked it in my bag and carried on without double checking. I was with my sister and she was driving when I realized it wasn’t in my purse.

We pull over and start calling my phone frantically. No answer 10 times in a row. We called the furniture store who searched to no avail. Deciding to drive back to the store to look for ourselves my sister’s phone starts ringing with a call from my phone. The guy on the other end has it and will meet us back at the store.

Apparently, as this man was driving away from the store, he starts hearing muffled music coming from his back seat. It took him a while to figure out that it was coming from his kid’s car seat. Yeah. His kid(3 or 4 years old) saw the phone where I set it down and took it(totally my fault). Because it was locked he was waiting for someone to call it again so he could answer it. I’m glad the child didn’t chew off a piece of my case and choke or worse. I’m glad where I live I can usually depend on folks doing the right thing.
