One time in Korea, on a public bus, I was wearing Korean paints, which have shallow pockets and always made me worried something would slip out... well it did, and the it was my cellphone... which in South Korea, a cellphone can be used for quite a lot of things... like buying some porn, some animations, etc.
A few days later I got my phone back because I called it and told the Korean my school address. When my director received the phone in the mail, he gave me the phone and threw away the envelope, etc.
On my next monthly bill, I owed $500... mostly porn by the look of it, sex lines, crazy ring tones, etc.
I went to the police, they couldn't help because the business was located in Thailand or something. I didn't have evidence to show the cops because my director threw it away. I never could track down the culprit, and since I was enrolled in auto bill pay... I lost $500.
Advice: If you lose your phone, cancel it immediately - no matter if it is being sent to you in the mail or whatever... cancel it to be safe. And if your phone has a lock key code that can disable it unless the correct code is entered, do it.
My director apologized a thousand times. I got angry. So I went to the Dragon Bar and then to a Karaoke Bar... and all was alright in the world the next day.
