Default Most expensive you have lost

I have many friends who have lost their mobiles recently. My husband lost his precious D500 6 months after he bought it. It was a wedding gift

What is the most expensive phone that you have lost? And how?

I lost my HP iPAQ rx1715 in a medical centre. It was gone 15 minutes later when I checked.

I dropped my Nokia 7600 down the loo. I grabbed it out as fast as I could (very pleasant) and whipped the battery out as quickly as possible, rinsed off the phone, flushed, left it to dry and fortunately it was ok when I put the battery back in. Suppose it was always a bit of a ****ty phone though!
A good friend of mine managed to drive over his pocket loox at a petrol station, he'd driven a mile down the road before he noticed his sat nav was missing so he drove back to find it smashed to pieces right where he'd filled up. But insurance can be cool.

My iPAQ 6365 was ripped out of its case while I was protecting my pregnant wife from getting pushed on the subway. I felt so sorry for the bastard that took it. LOL

I would never have been introduced to the joys of a Wizard if that hadn't happened. As a matter of fact, my wife felt so bad for me, she offered to buy me the Qtek right on the spot.

How did you know it was them.. did you get it back?
If someone answers your question, post a . Don't just 'take and go', it discourages replies.

I don't know how you guys have lost your phones, I watch mine very carefully, too expensive to lose, I even considered getting a rider on my home insurance for it.[/I]

I got a brand new 8525 back in March on a Monday and went to the local mall and it was on my belt clip in a holster and when I realized it was not there 10 minutes after I had went into the mall I raced back to the parking lot and previous aisle I was on and svr desk but it was gone, I was upset so this was the most expensive. I ended up getting another 1 abt 3 days later and this one I guard w\me life I barely let others use it..

My phone went missing a while back (taken off the bench I was sitting on). I got another phone when I realized and called it. Someone answered so I asked why they had my phone. I then asked where they were- and they told me! I ran to that place and got it back. Thank god the thief was so thick, they normally take the sim out straight away.
