1. Blogfolks, do you know what today is? I do. It's coming back to blogging day. I won't lie to you, people of blogland: I wasn't on a total blogging hiatus; it's just that for the past year I've been involved in a specific project, which required a specific blog. Somewhere else.

2. Today, in the horror that is central London on pretty much any day, but especially when school's out, I found a phone; a posh one, with Prada written on it- because I'm not entirely labelwise, or I don't care, I first thought it was 'Pravda', like the Russian newspaper, and thought: how beautiful! a communication tool named after Truth; but no.

3. High on Good Intentions I went through the address book; I would call the owner if a home number was listed, say I'd found their phone and send it to them.

4. No home number; what to do? Ah, call someone else. Who are the friends?

5. The outbox reveals dozens of abusive text messages, complete with insults and bodily threats.

6. I'm taking the phone to Oxfam. What would you do?

i'd maybe take it to the police.

but yes - i'd pretty much stop trying to locate the owner if i saw that in the outbox too.

Well……..I might switch it off before the owner tracks me down and inflicts bodily injuries…..or calls and threatens body harm. Or I might brave it and wait for the owner to call and give them a piece of my mind (not that I have much to spare) threatening all sorts of vengeance worthy of a Titan ….then switch it off before they track me down…..then I would abandon it…………so long as there were not CCTV cameras around……….in case they track me down…………………..

Take it to the police. I think if you took it to Oxfam they'd be obliged to take it to the police anyway.

But never mind that, you're back, Yaaaaaaaayyyyy!
