vgirla, that was extremely admirable of you to do that!  I seriously doubt that any ohter person that flew that plane that day or even that week would have done that.  It would have quickly gone into their pocket and they would have never looked back.  Great job!

I, even as a mostly honest person, would have had a hard time passing up a free iPod…  But I’ve (nearly) lost my iPod before, and I know that that amount of adrenaline isn’t safe.

Big deal:  Get a life and lighten up.  This was a story about human honesty.  Know what that means?

i feel the lost ipod pain, and wish i was as lucky! i just returned from a month in Costa Rica and lost an ipod mini after the clip came off my marware case! Of course frantic calls to the cab company did nothing! Wish someone had found it and checked w/Apple Bravo human kindness!!!

Of course, you could just put your contact information in a note on the iPod itself, with a title like “If Found”. Assuming the finder is honest, that would save them the trouble of contacting Apple, etc.

You could also get your email address engraved on the back…

i have an “owner info” note on my iPod. i’m thinking about recording it too, and making it the first song that would be played.

First off, if they had given it to a flight attendant, it would have ended up in the airline lost and found and returned to the owner when he/she called looking for it.

If I lost my iPod I would not want someone just to take it and then post on one of the 10,000 iPod sites looking for the owner.  Sounds like whoever took it just wanted a back-up iPod.

I lost my ipod a week ago on a flight. I’m encouraged by this news and trying my luck here. Anyone found an ipod on a flight arrived at JFK airport on July 5 please contact me. I also registered the lost ipod with Apple today (I found the serial number on the packaging). Any infomation/suggestions are appreciated.

I’ve left ipods on planes twice in the past year.  Neither was turned in to lost & found.  Wish vgirla was on my flights.
