I once found someone's iPhone in a shopping basket at my local supermarket and spent the whole day getting it back to them. I decided to buy a lottery ticket - after all, my cosmic karma must be running at an all time high.

But first, I'll make myself a nice cucumber salad and I'll use that new mandoline slicer we got - protective dongle thing be damned (The very same mandoline slicer my wife told me to be every so careful with before she left on her trip). Wow.. this is cool - every slice of the cucumber is identical down to the en.. OW!

Sliced my finger opened and spent the evening in the ER getting half a dozen stitches and the top of my finger sewn back on.. So much for karma...

The lesson I learned from this is never, ever return a phone you found - it will only lead to pain! :)
