Thank you, thank you, thank you! I just got back from a camping trip in S.C. and I thought it was in my sleeping bag and when I tried to get it out to pay the rent this morning IT WAS GONE!

When can I pick it up? 😉

Man. I am so sorry. In the 17 minutes it took you to claim it, I donated it to the Al Greene election fund. I'll send you the Greene for senate shirt they promised.

(6) Owner of Phone from #3 realizes its missing.. Calls the cops, who dust for prints and find the OP outside, stoned.
(7) OP Goes to jail.. GF realizes munchies > stoner theif BF and lets him rot for a week
(8) OP comes back to ATOT, bumps stolen Blu Ray thread a few times
(9) A week later, OP sobers up.. and posts on ATOT about how he was unfairly arrested for doing a good deed.

hahahaaa! perfect
 
this reminds me of an experience i had a few weeks ago. i was sitting on the lower level of a high end shopping center in san francisco and all of the sudden an expensive watch in packaging dropped into the flower bed about 3 feet from me. apparently a thief had taken if from one of the kiosks and tossed it a few floors down to recover it later. i didnt touch it and about ten minutes later a security person came looking for it and found it

The bulk beef thread went on forever while the OP of that thread was in jail. (And banned? I can't remember.) Sheer entertainment.
 
i see a lot of people giving him s*** for taking it out of the store, telling him to take it to customer service, etc. but last year i found a cell phone on the bus stop bench at my college, and rather than leaving it there and risk someone stealing it, i took it with the intention of calling up the most recent contact to say this person lost the phone. when class was over, that's exactly what i did (was guy's girlfriend), she thanked me, he picked phone up from me, also thanked me, and it was done. though i guess its a different situation since i knew the person was a fellow student (parking lot is students only, not public parking) and not some random person in my city


ps. loong thread, why was op banned?

You can't tell the difference between your story and the OP's?
