A bag left on the bus just disappeared, though - although the contents included my favourite cardigan, I suspect they didn't seem worth handing in. It does seem strange that items as expensive as that mobile phone were just left; perhaps the insurance payment seemed preferable? (Maybe the user had the same reception problems as your friend!)CarolineLDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00197813252586559665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3287675141745937676.post-12201499730763908192012-09-14T06:53:58.536+01:002012-09-14T06:53:58.536+01:00I have twice forgotten a bag on a train. Recovery ...I have twice forgotten a bag on a train. Recovery was successful the first time but not the second. However, I did at least attempt to recover my lost property and what seems strange to me is how many people fail to retrieve valuable or seemingly essential items.<br /><br />A friend of mine was an early adopter of the radio phones that were fitted to your car. He suggested I call him on it to see how it worked. His car was parked in front of the house but when I called the number, the operator told me it was currently unavailable and suggested I contact him via the normal telephone service. They didn't show <i>that</i> in the advertisements!<br /><br />Since then, not only has the mobile phone become so small that it slips into a shirt pocket but from being a vanity accessory for the affluent it has become so essential to most people that a failure of the network causes disuption and even danger to thousands of lives.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
