In 2010, after seeing a movie (in a theater, at night) in Austin, I decided to send an e-card for a relative's birthday. I found a Starbucks (which was closed) and tried to log on from my car....usually a very easy thing to do. I tried and tried, to no avail. I decided to look for another wi-fi location. Then...I couldn't find the key to my Yaris...and had only been sitting in my Yaris after turning off the engine. I turned my Yaris 'upside down' looking for the key (I usually have it on a ring, but for some reason didn't that night), including getting out of the car and looking under the front seats. I was wearing a polo shirt and found the key in the breast pocket of the shirt

.

I decided to look for another wi-fi spot. I found one and sent the e-card. I then got on I-35 and started to drive back to Montgomery County. After only a few miles, I reached for my phone to make a call. I couldn't find my phone. I replayed all of the events in my mind. I realized that when I got out of the car to look for the key in Austin, that I put my phone on the roof of my Yaris

. I drove back to that Starbucks. The parking lot was very well lit, and the Starbucks was in an upscale area that had basically zero foot traffic at night, but I still couldn't find the phone

. I called the Starbucks the next day and the carrier a couple of days later to se if someone had turned in the fairly simple phone. Never saw the phone again.
