This thread reminded me of a story. I'd been out for a ride with a mate, and when we finished our ride we returned to the carpark where we'd stashed our cars. We fiddled around for a bit, putting our bikes in the back of our respective cars etc. There was a football game in the adjoining sports field and a few spectators were leaving. One of them was in the car next to mine. He drove off, leaving his baby's bag behind!

It was full of nappies, food, clothes, toys, his wallet .. everything bar his mobile phone. We rifled through his wallet, and found his driver's license. Looked him up in the white pages, only to discover his phone had been disconnected. He had an unusual last name, so we called all the other entries in the white pages - nobody had heard of him. Finally, my friend found a card in his wallet for a local church. She called them, asked if they knew him, and they did. They called his wife (they'd moved and he hadn't updated the street address on his license, and of course the white pages were out of date), who in turn called him on his mobile phone.

Twenty minutes later, he was back, flustered as hell, and happy to have all his stuff back.

I feel good about that day
