Just another Adventuresome...
Larry my good friend from TN came down this weekend. (More on Larry this coming Friday... Larry Friday). But in our normal antic ideas moments, we had some highlights
We headed over to Unclaimed Baggage. This is the final resting place for your baggage when you lose it at the airport. They bring it into this place, a little town in Alabama, then go through the stuff, and sell it! So basically its a store full of junk. Well inquisitive on the matter, I asked an employ where the stuff they don’t sell is placed... the garbage. A few minutes later found Jared and I dumpster diving... Jared (an expert in the field) found 2 cell phones and 3 pagers in a matter of minutes!
One cell phone worked... so we called up the owner. The conversation went as follows: (Bold : Us Non Bold: Person we called)
Hello!
Hello?
Yes This is Elbert E Smith with the US Government, the Department of Missing Cellular Phones.
OK?
Have you lost a phone in the last year, we have found one with your identification code. Or possibly someone you know.
NO?
How about in the last 3 years?
No
Um... let me pull up a tracking record and see if you can tell us the proper contact information... our data pulled up your records.
Do you recognize this phone number?
Yes that is my husbands phone number.
Has he lost a phone?
Yes we lost one about 3 years ago.
Oh... OK this is a 3-year loss case then.
Um, Yes that was my husbands, but he has since replaced it... the other phone is turned off right now.
Yes we know that mam.
Well here at the bureau we are just wanting to bring a close to this case, it has been quiet extensive.
We just need some information.
OK
Where are you located?
Dallas, TX
Would you like the phone back?
NO I don’t guess.
OK We will destroy the phone and bring a close to this case number.
The Closing Department will now complete this case.
Hello?
Hello.
Yes, we only have one other thing that seems to be completed, along with this phone was found a large sum of money. Do you know anything about this?
No.?
You did not lose a large sum of money the same general time.
No I don't think so.
OK, if you find information or know who this large sum of money may be owned by please contact the Bureau here and ask for Lavende S. Traunket, the phone number is...
Let me get a piece of paper.
The number is **Bogus phone number give**
Thank you.
Thank you mam we will now destroy this cell phone, and sell the other items found with this luggage, goodbye.
Another story comes from the cave as you see in the pictre, that story coming Friday...
