About a year ago, I found an Blackberry in a taxi cab on the way to work. I looked through the phone and found only 10 contacts and two email addresses. I emailed one of them and I simply stated that I found the BB and that the owner should come pick it up at the front desk of my office. I left the BB with the front desk.

Later that evening a woman came and picked up the phone. (I was in my office during this whole thing. This info was relayed to me by frontdesk later). She took the phone, sat in the lobby, fiddled with the phone for 3 minutes, got up, asked the ladies at the frontdesk for my name, then left. The front desk let me know the woman had picked it up. I then proceeded to completely forget about the incident. Here is where it gets freaking wierd.

Two weeks later, a big bouquet of flowers was sent to the front desk with my name on it. There is no card. At first, I had no idea who they came from. I asked half a dozen people, including my gf before I concluded that it was likely from the BB lady. I went ahead and found the email address in my outbox and sent a short email thanking her for her nice gesture.

Two hours later, I get a call from the front desk.

Frontdesk: "A man is here to pick up his blackberry." Me: "What? What do you mean? That lady already came and picked it up." Frontdesk: "I don't know. There is a man here to pick up his lost blackberry."

I go down to the front desk to see a man, late 40s, in a suit, well kept, with a calm look on his face. He explained to me that he had gotten an email thanking someone for flowers. And when he had scrolled down through the email, the email history had shown my original email (I had attached the original email to remind the person who I was).

The man then claims that this lost BB is his!

I asked, "Well, why didn't you respond to my original email? The email regarding picking up the device?" He then proceeded to tell me that he never got the original email. Why, might you ask? Well, the email address was not his!!! He then pulls out a new BB Curve (one that he had purchased to replace his lost BB) and says, "See, this is my new BB. And here is your new email regarding the flowers (with lost BB info attached)."

Me: "Well, if this isn't your email, how did you possibly get this email on your new BB!!?!" Man: "I have no idea." Me: WTF is going on here. This makes no f#&&# sense. "What do you mean you have no idea?" Man: "It just appeared in my BB." Me: "Uhhhhh, yea. Hmm. Ok."

I check the email for myself. And indeed, it is just in his messages folder. It isn't forwarded to him. It is from me, and to the woman's email address. (Bear in mind, the woman's email address is a woman's first name, followed by a last name @aol.com). We exchanged a couple more minutes of meaningless jibberjabber. I gave him all the info I had. And he proceeded to leave. Still have no idea what happened.
