I mentioned yesterday that Sharon has lost her mobile phone. We had called back immediately and found that the phone has been switched off. We feared the worst for the phone. The one who picked it up probably wanted to keep the phone for himself.

It's funny that during the dinner right before she sound her phone missing, me and Thierry was discussing about setting a sim card / phone lock. We were of the opinion that we should not set the locks. If you lost your phone, and the finder meant to keep the phone, he will not return you because your phone is locked. He'll probably just throw it away or bring the phone to the telco to reset it. We should just let the finder enjoy his good fortune of finding a phone. Moreover, the finder meant to return you your phone, and for whatever reasons, your phone is switched off, the fella would not be able to contact you in anyway if/when he switched it back on again. I've known people who found a phone during midnight and the phone is low batt. In a couple of hours, the phone runs out of battery and power was cut off. The phone is locked. So if the fella who loses the phone discovers the lost of the phone the next morning., he have lost the phone forever. We could have bring hte phone home and charge and wait for his call, but we can't switch it on.

And as luck would have it, the lady who found the phone had the phone switched off. Either that or the phone got switched off when it dropped to the floor or something. Anyway, the lady brought the phone home and passes to the husband who switched on the phone and called Sharon's home from her phone book.

They arranged to meet at Sim Lim Square at noon and Thierry went with her to collect the phone. She got a lecture from the guy, but I am sure she would prefer that to losing the phone.

I joined them after visiting Jim for his daughter's 1 month celebration. To cash in on the luck of her finding the phone, we went to buy 4D. We bought the 1st 4 numbers and the last 4 numbers of her phone, and also the date that she lost the phone. Unfortunately, I write wrongly. Meant to get 1706 (01/07/06) but I drew 1705. Luckily 1706 is not the winning number. In fact, none of the numbers are winning number. Haha!
