We recently had the opportunity to help reunite a lost pager with its owner, thanks to the honesty of the person that reported having found it. It is encouraging and inspiring how many people go out of their way every day to do a good deed.
We just had an experience with our daughter losing a special pager. This is one of the more elaborate models that is associated with a contract for service and would have been quite expensive to replace. There was a short security cord that attached to a belt loop for extra security. When the attached cord failed and the pager was lost the ImHONEST.com sticker that was placed on the pager served as the backup plan.
Very shortly after the pager was found the finder contacted the 800 number on the sticker and we were contacted within minutes. ImHONEST Customer Service was excellent!!!
This is a great service! Our thanks go to the honest finder of the unit and the ImHONEST staff.

Anybody that has lost a phone knows how painful and frustrating it can be, especially when it’s your new iPhone. For days you’ve been pampering it and keeping it shiny, and then its gone! The good thing is that there are honest and kind people that will go out of their way to help you find it and who knows there might be a part deux to the story (read on).
I went to see the band New Found Glory in San Francisco on Sunday night. I was so excited, because I hadn’t seen them in quite a while. I brought with me my new iPhone 3G, because, well, it’s my means of contact with the outer world!
There were 4 bands total playing that night. I lost my iPhone during the second band, Set Your Goals. I believe I noticed during their 4th song. My iPhone, with it’s slick outer covering, is super easy to slip into and out of my pocket. Unfortunately, that was the reason I lost it. Set Your Goals were pretty intense, and people were moving around a lot, including some awesome parts to jump to. During their 4th song, my hand was forced up against my left pocket, and I felt no bump where there should be an iPhone 3G. I checked all pockets on me, and it wasn’t there.
I tried to continue enjoying the show, but horrible thoughts of what may happen to my less-than-1-week-old iPhone kept coming to me. How am I going to break it to my mom that my new iPhone is no more? I can’t contact anyone to tell them the bad news! Every time an audience member jumped up and came down, I grew sick. I stood behind the main swell of the crowd and looked on the floor when there was enough light to see. Nothing.
I decided there was only one thing to do: wait. Wait until after the band finished and look for it. But, my own looking for it wasn’t going so well. So, when Set Your Goals finished, I came up as close as I could to the front, I cupped my hands around my mouth, and yelled the following: “Excuse me! I just lost my brand new iPhone. Can anyone find it on the ground?”
Pretty much everyone right in front of me started looking down. It was less than 10 seconds before I heard someone shout, “I found it!” They held up an iPhone, passed it back, and it was given to me. I turned on the screen to see if the wallpaper was the same, and it was! Someone unknown person had just returned my iPhone to me! I kept it in my back pocket (with a button in it to block the opening) the rest of the night.
After the show, I went outside to New Found Glory’s bus so I could meet the guys. For any new fans out there, just know they’re super nice guys and always willing to sign an autograph or take a picture. About 15 other people were also waiting. I struck up a conversation with some people, and it turned out that this girl in the group (I believe her name was Angelina) was the one who had found my iPhone! I immediately gave her a hug and told her I loved her! We all waited and got to meet 4/5ths of NFG and then we departed.
I also found out she works at a venue in San Francisco called the Warfield Theatre, which is where I’m going tomorrow night to see a band called Less Than Jake. She said she would probably be working there tomorrow night, so I will hopefully see her! This is the beginning of a beautiful friendship. Thank you so much, Angelina! And, if I got your name wrong, I’m really sorry.

Late last year, we decided to share select ImHONEST customer testimonials. This is a great story we can share with you thanks to the honesty of a student. This happened a few weeks ago when we had a late and very surprising snowfall in Georgia.
I needed to take my Golden Retriever to the Vet Hospital in Athens, Georgia for a treatment. Since there had been a record snowfall of 12 inches, I thought to bring my camera with me to take a few pictures. My memory card was almost full and the snow pictures would be the last of 200 pictures before I downloaded the entire card.
At the Vet School, my dog was extremely anxious to go home and he really acted wild and excited as I got him back into the car. In the excitement, I must have dropped the camera into a small snow bank. I never thought about taking the pictures and I even forgot that I had my camera with me. The next day we had a call from an ImHONEST.com representative with the great news that the camera had been found and the finder used the information on the tag to contact ImHONEST and return the camera.
Through the simple ImHONEST return instructions, the finder was able to get the camera back to me. My 200 pictures and memory card were saved and my camera is back home. We are grateful to the finder and to the ImHONEST program.

Have you ever found a purse in a parking lot? One of our readers sent her inspiring and encouraging story.
I am a college student and the phrase starving college student definitely applied to me when this incident happened.
I was a freshman at college trying to make ends meet not sure about finances at all my boyfriend had forgotten to pack a lunch and had called me on his break to see if i could bring him food. So i grudgingly took him lunch and wasn’t happy that I had to waste gas just because he forgot. Anyway I sat and ate lunch with him in my car outside of Wal-Mart (where he worked). There was a cart that had been there for a while next to my car and it had something in it…a purse i learned later. Well it started to rain and i didn’t want the contents of the purse to get messed up so i ran the purse inside to the service counter in hopes that the lady it belonged to would look there and i went back to my car. Around the end of my boyfriends lunch a lady who looked really upset was looking in the area of the cart she looked really frantic. I asked her if she had left a purse in a cart she said yes and i told her to check at the service desk because i had just taken one in.
As i was going to leave she ran out with a gift card to Wal-Mart with a generous amount of money and thanked me very much for my honesty with tears in my eyes i took it. God had answered my prayers i had desperately needed that money. I used that card for the next two months getting food and other necessary items. Honesty does pay.

Today, I’m posting the first of a series of testimonials sent by ImHONEST customers whose valuables have been returned to them thanks to honest people and the ImHONEST.com service. I hope you enjoy this great testimonial and are encouraged by another example of honesty in action.
On 10/29 I accidentally left my Blackberry Pearl in the men’s room of the Renaissance hotel in Charlotte, NC. There was no sign of it when I returned, and no one had handed it in to the front desk. When I arrived home, 3 hours later, I had an email from imhonest.com, that someone had found it and called them. In 7 days I had my Blackberry back, through UPS. Two things should be noted from this situation. Firstly, I subscribed to the imhonest.com service and attached the label to my phone because I truly believe that most people are honest, and would turn it in if I misplaced it. Secondly, the cost of this service is so low it is worth the risk of testing someone’s honesty. Fortunately for me, both cases proved to be true.
