I've done that. Left my bank card at the caravan place just east of Wagga , didn't realise till I was near Hay somewhere , they were very helpful and sent it on to a little opal mining town in S.A. where I was headed to . I see that everyone in that town is getting evicted now . Given back to whoever hunted in the area before . Cannot think of the name . There are a lot of retirees there. I was thinking of having a go at mining myself , luckily I didn't. That was over 10 years ago .
I left my new phone on the table of an inner city Mc Donalds a few years ago in Sydney.
I rushed back, not really expecting to see my phone again.
But when I got back several school kids were sitting at the table I left the phone on.
In trepidation I walked up to the table and asked if they had seen an apple phone, they pointed to the phone propped up against the wall at their table.
I thanked them and dropped $20.00 for them top all have a drink on me.
