Here is a recent adventure…

---

I was at an undisclosed town in another state celebrating a birthday with a long term friend. We booked rooms at a hotel. By about 9 p.m. we were done and took rideshare to the hotel. The lady driving said it was her last run.

---

At the hotel, I tell my friend “Let’s have a beer outside. See you at the front in 10 min.”

---

In my room, I was emptying my pockets and…NO PHONE. Mild panic set in. I knew I had my phone in the rideshare car. My friend gave me his phone, and I started to login to Find my iPhone (nobody answered it when calling). Luckily, I remembered my password and it pinged. I drove, he navigated. There was no street address, just some cross streets. I used my vehicle nav to drive to the area. Finally, he says “It is on this street on the next block.” I drove slowly, and there it was: The black VW we rode in. I stopped and said “I hope that house is the driver’s.” I gave him my keys in case I would be shot by the resident so he could get away.

---

There was a person on a couch. I knocked and asked for “Jane.” She was the driver. We went out to her car, opened the back door. There was my phone making a noise stuck in the seat belt. My friend had activated it to alarm mode. I gave her $50 for her inconvenience.

This is something that a good friend of 30 + yrs would do. Risk getting shot in the ‘hood to help me find my phone.

Back at the hotel, we drank our beer by the AC unit outside laughing our heads off.
