It was a phone. Locked and no emergency contact information. Luckily the owner rang it again so we could connect.

@ckr And you didn't answer?
That trashcan was the start of an epic sidequest that would have taken you all across the world in the pursuit of a master jewel thief who, in the end, would have stolen your heart too but if you succeeded, they would have changed their ways and become good, dedicating their skills to aiding orphans for the rest of their days.

@nazokiyoubinbou @ckr he never answered and many puppies perished at the hand of the irate jewel thief.

@ckr So how on earth did it end up in a trash can?

if you answer it and put it up to your ear you get pulled out of the matrix

She has no.idea how it got in the trash can. "Was it with a Popeye's bag?"
While texting back and forth to decide where to meet, the phone rings again. It is her husband. "Who the fuck is this!" he yells.

I quickly explain the situation. He has been trying to reach her, and worried maybe she was with another man.
At this point, I am thinking I take the phone back to the trash can.

When I saw the OP that's exactly what I thought this was, so I clicked on it to see if this was a new adventure from the Heart of Gold and whether or not I had my towel ready.

@ckr make sure to meet in a public place or at a police station.

So, the guy says he can come get the phone but he is on foot and about 30 min away. I send him my address, but he doesn't show. Eventually he calls and says "I am at the District Mart at 8th & H. Can you meet me?" It's getting late and this location, while only about 5 min by bike is chaotic.

I figure it's a public place, so it should be fine apart from finding the guy. He told.me.he was sitting at the streetcar stop, glasses, black clothes. I told him I am an older white guy with a beard.

I bike over. Lock up the bikeshare. I walk up to a group of 6 or 7 guys and ask if anyone is Tuan or knows Tuan. Nope. Same procedure across the street. No sign of the guy.

I pull out my phone and call his number. At first it goes to voicemail, but after a few tries he answers. I say "Hey, it's me with the phone. Where are you at?" He says, "You can't fool me. I know you're a cop. Stop calling me." And he hangs up.

I call him back and say"Do you want this phone? I can leave it at the counter at District Mart." He says "Take your phone into District Mart and let me talk to the dude at the counter. He knows me." So I go to inside. Tuan says "Salaam. It's Tuan. I'm on the bus on the way there to get this phone." Dude at the counter is a little confused, but I sense he has a high chaos tolerance. I leave the phone with him.

@ckr sometimes you reject the call to adventure, and sometimes the adventure rejects you.
