I found someone's cellphone on the sidewalk outside my apt. No contact info on the screen and it's locked so I can't access the contacts.

She doesn't clear her notifications so I think I know her name. I tried to message someone with her name on IG but no answer yet.
I think I have the name of a co-worker of her's and I tried to message him on FB but I had to create an account and I'm not sure the name Found Kerri'sPhone is going to be a message he reads but I hope so.

I also think I know where she works, Altice. They have a big office building in my neighborhood but I'm really tired and don't feel like walking over there. It's not far but it's also not close.

Hopefully someone gets back to me and can come by and pick it up. Otherwise I think I'll stop by the office building tomorrow after work and drop it off with someone in security and maybe they can get it back to her.

- I hope so. This is why I have **If found please call: 917-xxx-xxxx.** on my lock screen. It's Theresa's number and it actually worked. - Krusty Mar 29, 16:22 2

Her co-worker replied and will contact her through work chat. Hopefully she is on a computer and can read the work chat. -- nm - Krusty Mar 29, 16:13 2
- You’re a kind soul for putting all that work into finding the owner. I usually wait until they try calling it 20 times— -- nm - Flavorize Mar 29, 16:29 1
  - I like to solve problems and play detective so it was kind of fun to see if I could find her before she called the phone. Still no call though. - Krusty Mar 29, 16:33
