Good luck when trying to do the right thing

2013m02d23

Today a friend of mine found an iPhone on the street.  He brought it back to my place and was playing with it.  "What's that ?" , I said.

He said he found it and he was messing around with it.  I said it looked like a working phone.  Did he intend to contact the owner and return it ?  Nah.... he said.

Why don't you take care of it ?  he said
Okay, I will....
I tried various things and eventually called AT&T ( the service for the phone ) and gave them the number of the phone.  AT&T said they would connect me with the owner.  What I got instead was the Denver Police .... who started badgering me.  I don't want to deal with the police .... I want to give the phone to the owner.  A woman on the phone starts crying, claims to be the owner, and calls me a son of a bitch.  She says I am being mean to her because I am not interested in her crying jag.  She says her car was broken into.  I do not care.  I will leave the phone on my front porch in a box.  Come get it.

So I wait outside alongside the box and 2 police cars and a black SUV arrive.  A woman gets out of the SUV.  "Here is your phone" , I say.  I hand her a bag with the phone in it.  "Don't ever bother me again."

Then..... Hurray.... they all leave.   I hope this is the end of it.
