I know a human that has been having cellphone "problems" that began a couple of years ago. It all started when he lost his phone while doing some home repair on another humans' home outside. Though he didn't know it at the time that was where he lost it.

He looked everywhere, but had no luck. Unfortunately in his line of work, he could not go very long without having a phone. So he needed to get a new phone. In a way, this was a blessing in disguise. The lost phone was small, slow, and had a mind of its own more times than it should. The new phone was larger, much faster, and usually did not do things on its own with out the human approving it first. Unfortunately he lost all his contacts --which was quite large-- and all of his text messages --that contained important info.

A couple of days pass, and it snows just enough to cover everything with a thin layer. At the house he had worked at, some of the miniature humans that occupied the home were outside playing in the snow. They find the lost phone in the yard. After playing with it for a bit, they give it to one of their overseer humans that were infesting this home. This human contacts him and he goes over there and gets his old phone back.

There was much rejoicing (I assume). Even though it had been stuck outside for many days and covered with melting snow, it still worked. He was able to take it back to the store where he got the new phone and they were able to transfer all of his contacts to his new phone. I do not think the texts were moved over but at least he could still access them on his old phone. Once he was finished with it, he stashed it away in a drawer to never, ever, ever, ever, to be seen again...

To be continued...
