So great start to the day...I leave my iphone on the train. I get to work and use that find my iphone app which locates it and it's still on the train! I think maybe I'll be lucky and a conductor will pick it up. I send it a message with my work number and if located please ring.

Someone rings me! Says he's got my iphone but he has to run as he'll miss my train.

Rings me back and then says some rubbish about he's really far away and will call me later.

I use 1471 on the workphone to find out his number and give him a call. I know roughly where he is located due to the location app and say I'll come to meet him. He says he's working on a job and will be able to give me the phone back at 8 ( he said he finishes work at 6). He's turned my phone off now as says he needs to work.

In conclusion to this rambling post I have no idea what to do and don't know if I should meet him as it all sounds really dodgy.

Any advice??

buy a new phone

yeaaaaah think i'm going to have to aren't I haha. Still holding off erasing it completely just in case....

tbh cant see u getting your old phone back

Meet him. Bring 4 mates and some baseball bats. Init.

But seriously, be careful if he sets up a meet.

if you were to meet the guy, make sure it's in public, alternativaly wire him a tenner to post it back recorded delivery, worst happens you lose a tenner.

Have some faith that he is a genuine bloke.

oh yeah

Small update...Just spoke to him again and am meeting him at the station near where he works. Ringing him again in an hour ( when he finishes work) to confirm the details. He seems more stupid than dodgy now but still....It's a small station as well and think will be getting the same train back the other way together.

Will keep you posted with what i'm sure has got you through Tuesday

be careful, if he asks to meet you in the station toilets, especially if there is a round hole in one of the toilet cubicles, i bet it won't be your phone, he will be putting through there

Yeah, listen to Hlebby - if anyone has experience of meeting shady gentlemen up dark back alleys, it's him

Any update? If he hasnt shown and you havent been buggered by a bbc presenter report it as stolen to the old bill
