Yes, it is my own stupid fault, which makes it so much worse. I have a terrible habit of putting things down and forgetting to pick them up. I once put my purse down in the grocery store to look at something on the shelf then walked off without picking it up. gah! I had a shopping basket on my arm so maybe my brain was thinking I was already holding it. That time the universe was kind to me and an honest person picked it up and brought it to the service desk...phew!
Dreams, I think I will try that lanyard idea. I do try to always put it back in my purse when I'm done so I don't do this, but apparently I didn't this time. Thanks for the chocolate and hugs.
I guess the lemonade from this experience is that I can now get the new 4th gen!
I go there for lunch a lot so I'll check again just in case. Maybe they will bring it back if they can't get past the passcode lock.
