A story with a happy ending

I have found a few phones and cameras on the hill over the years. Always take selfies and pics of dunny’s before handing them in.

One day we found one on the Big D, when I got to the bottom, I was sussing the pics out and looked up, the girl in the images was standing three meters away from me. Didn’t even now she had lost her camera. smile


My cousin bought a car years ago. Not long after getting it, they did a road trip around Tassie. When he got home he pulled the back seats out to clean the carpets, found a SD card. Bungs it in the computer, the people who owned the car previously (from Melbourne) had down pretty much the exact same road trip.

The best bit was when the lady was having a spa with the awesome view of Cradle Mountain enjoying a few glasses of bubbles. As she drank more, she revealed more and more to her husband who was taking the pics. LOL

We all had a good perv and laugh smile

Hahaha gold!

I had a pair of Liquid Image goggles with built in camera which i lost in Tignes in January with about 5 days of photos and video that i hadnt downloaded yet teacherboy
Came off during a stack and goggles just disappeared down the hill whilst i tried to stop and recover. I thought a skier picked them up so rode the lift for a while and checked with the lifties and mountain management buildings but no love

Awesome story with a good little bit of humour to boot.
one of our crew yesterday lost her phone in a case with her credit cards, license and a heap of other bits and bobs fall out of her pocket down Zali’s. Took her around 20 mins to notice, i called her phone no answer, tried 2 more times and on the third a lady answered, it slid right past her on her run so she grabbed it and was taking it to lost property, she met me at the blue cow cafe and returned it and wouldnt accept any money as a reward. There are some good honest people left out there in the world Its great!

mr.h0z and I chased a guy down early starter because he dropped his glove.. on the way down we noticed his wallet was shoved in there, full of cash.. could have been an expensive loss for him!

i found an iphone at falls last year. It was pin locked so i couldnt find out whose it was by ringing numbers in the contacts, but the owner in his wisdom decided to post on facebook that he lost it as it kept showing facebook notifications on the home screen with people saying ‘oh no’ ‘that sucks’ etc, rather than calling his phone which i would have answered to organise to get it back to him. Eventually a smarter than the owner friend of his decided to call it and I was able to organise to get it back to the dude but as he had already left falls to head back to melbs by the time he called, i had his phone for the rest of the week until i got back to melbourne
Oh and it seems that the ginder app also gives out home screen notifications haha

If it has siri you just hold the home button and tell it to “call home” or mum or dad and you’ll usually get somewhere that way smirk

Whilst in theory a great idea…

It would suck if mum or dad’s number were international…

In a sick kind of way I’m waiting for someone to steal my phone/tablet so I can give Cerberus a go which allows me to track it via GPS, take photos/video/audio recordings without the thief knowing.
