Decreasing faith in humanity!

Okay... so I emailed as many people as I could about this... so if you've already got it in your email box, sorry for the repeat!


Happy Monday friends and family!  This weekend I got a hard lesson in humanity... My cell phone was stolen!
 
Unfortunately, along with the pain of my naivety and paying off the international calls that someone helped themselves too, I've now lost ALL of your numbers (and some numbers for people that I do not have email addresses for!).  Oh woe is me!
 
So here's the deal.   Would you please email me your phone numbers so I'll be able to put you all back in my phone?   I'm sorry for the inconvenience, I sincerely appreciate your effort!  =)
 
Thanks peoples! 

Since there have been many questions about what happened exactly, I'll tell you that the excess of calls are really my own fault.  Because I was naive and believed in the goodness of man to return what was taken from me.  Its true!  I realized my phone was missing Sunday morning, and checked my account online, saw no calls so thought it might be lost in my car or even in my ginormous purse, and since it was on vibrate from the night before, I didn't bother about it.  Last night when I got home late from the Canterbury Choral Society Christmas show, I checked my email (for some odd reason, because that's not very normal for me) and whoever had stolen my phone had the courtesy to email me the pictures on my phone.  Bizarre!  So in a panic I logged into my cellular account and saw a days worth of international calls to Guatemala.  So I called and suspended my phone service, but I take responsibility for the calls.  After all, its my own belief in the inate goodness of man-kind that got me into this mess!
 
Knowing what I know now, I would have immediately canceled the phone and saved myself money and a headache.  But it IS only money and a headache afterall.  And now I've contacted people I haven't talked to in ages to inform them of the change in numbers.... so really, it was just a push to talk to people I needed to talk to anyway.
 
But let me ask you something...  Do you believe that man is inherently good or bad?  What would you have done if you had "found" someone's cell phone?

i think i would have taken random pictures of cloud shapes and rude hand gestures and emailed them to you along with a note saying "if you ever want to see your phone again, go to the bowling alley on 39th.  ask for Guido.  have the dope ready.  Guido has been instructed to make the exchange."  if you emailed me back saying you wouldn't do it, then i would probably just leave the phone in your mailbox, wrapped in a scarf so it wouldn't get cold.

I'm afraid I might have made international calls to Guatemala, too.  In fact, I might need to talk to you about something....
