“This little black book is my External Memory, as well as my Soundboard and Loyal Constant Companion. ”

“It contains a little piece of who I am. If I’m ever as stupid to loose it, I beg you, be kind and return my darling to: (address). ”

“Thanks! You are the kindest stranger ever!”

Luckily, I have never had to find out if this strategy works or not. However, both my lost scarf and – more recently – left behind on the train iPhone were returned to me, so I remain optimistic about the nature of man. 😉
