Lost My Phone….then something really weird happened advice?

[looptyloop]

Hi everyone!
This year was my first burn…..and I didnt make the smartest decision ever by bringing my phone out on the playa to take pictures of the man burning. I left it where i had been sitting in all the crazyness and realized it later.

I checked lost and found twice before i left on monday morning. No Luck .

then at 7:30 or so on monday morning my fiance realizes that he had a voicemail from some unknown washington number. It said they had found my phone and would like to return it to me! I was ecstatic and called back immediately. First try no answer so i left a voicemail. They called back but we missed it bc his phone was on silent. Tried again. didnt pick up. then again. then texted still no luck. i just dont know what to do anymore.

The guy sounded young and nice and his number is 2**-***-***8 does anyone know who this is? are you his friend? could you let him know id really like my phone back before my birthday on the 8th…

What should i do?

If he's like a lot of burners who drove home to Washington, he's probably been sleeping all day and night. It might take a couple of days to sort it all out. Best of luck.

i can understand that but he accessed both my facebook and email after i had called back which doesnt sit right with me.

Rewards for stolen items in california are often responded to from washington numbers.

No idea why.

Don't know if there is a connection.

First, keep calling for a few days, or
try that number in one of the internet reverse phone lookup sites. Might get a name and addy you could write to. a few
of these sites are free. Most are crappy pay sites. Perhaps paying $20 might be worth it if you get a good contact.
