Dear UBC Student who stole my BlackBerry,
I wanted to wish you all the best on your new adventures through life with my cell phone. Since you have now taken my best friend away from me, I thought you should know a little bit about it. If you are wondering why the screen is fading in the top left corner it is because I stabbed it with a ruler in my studio art class a few weeks ago without noticing. In my eyes, it adds character. I hope you treat my phone with the same respect and care that obviously I have shown it. Please do remember to take it for walks and to take photos around UBC such as I have. In addition, I hope purple is your colour and you appreciate the $30 purple protector case I bought from Rogers only 3 weeks ago.
When you grabbed my phone from the forks, spoons and lack of knives section of the Totem Dining Hall, I just want to let you know I was about to enjoy the best meal of yams and gravy that you have ever witnessed. It was going to be magical. Instead, half of them are nestled in my garbage can since I spent my evening asking every UBC desk if anyone had turned in my phone. I wonder what you were purchasing that lead you to be gifted with a new Blackberry.
I always thought people would be sincere and return lost items. Now, I get to go visit my lovely friends at Rogers and buy another $600 phone. It’s just what I wanted for Thanksgiving. Tell my phone I miss it very much and I hope that one day we could be reunited and share in a very quickly typed email together.
All the best,
Erica who is stuck in the Okanagan without any means of communication.
Update: I went to Rogers. New Blackberry Bold: $699 plus taxes. Hello savings account. Fml.
Erica !!
This makes me so sad. can’t believe someone would actually do that. Its one thing to find a blackberry and not return it, but to take it while you were right there is disheartening. I hope it turns up!
I found your site on technorati and read a few of your other posts. Keep up the good work. I just added your RSS feed to my Google News Reader. Looking forward to reading more from you down the road!
Oh Erica I’m so sorry to hear that!!!!! That’s just awful, taking it out from right under your nose. I hope someone finds it. If they were there at the cafe presumably they must be from totem. assuming they didn’t change anything on the phone did you try getting someone to call the number right then? maybe see whose phone starts ringing and then catch them? This makes me so mad!!!!!!
I hope someone finds it and returns it. If I’m around totem i’ll give your phone a call and see if i hear any ringing? I tried calling it now but it wouldn’t go through.
i hope this doesn’t damper your weekend too much 🙁
I called it a bunch of times right away, it would ring and then go to my voicemail. After 20 minutes of calling it started going right to voicemail meaning they turned it off. Fatemeh, your call wont go through because I deactivated my account until I get a new phone so I can’t get charged with whatever they do with it.
That sucks 🙁 It’s too bad that nobody’s returned it yet. Hopefully they feel bad and hand it in eventually.
Perhaps the impersonal forces were trying to tell you that you do not actually need a cellphone?
Aww. I hope the rest of your thanksgiving will be much better.
OMG!! It seems we have a cell phone thief on campus….mine disappeared out of my purse on Wednesday. It was sitting on my bag and I turned for 2 seconds and nothing.
I feel you for sure.
Erica , u should track it down ,
go to the place where you brought it and
tell them to track your bb down. All BB’s can get
tracked down , and hopefully you’ll find it 🙂
Best Of Luck Darling ; x
