While visiting with my parents last month my father mentioned that he found a Blackberry in a pouch on the sidewalk. He didn't know much about it but there was a phone number on the screen that he tried calling to let the person know he'd found the phone. He told me that whoever answered said they didn't know what he was talking about and didn't lose a phone.
I took a look at the phone and as soon as the screen came on I saw the familiar red colour knew it was a Rogers branded device. I suggested that he take the phone to a Rogers Wireless store and they might have better luck contacting the owner.
Yesterday while visiting again I asked my father how it went with the lost phone and was surprised when he told me that the staff member at the Rogers store was annoyed by the fact that they had returned the lost phone and that they couldn't do anything to locate the rightful owner. Apparently they took the phone anyway.
Is returning a found phone to the carrier not the proper thing to do?
