Such a close call, almost lost my camera today!

I'm visiting NYC this week and took a cab to my hotel.  Got out and just getting ready to enter the elevator to go up to my room and I got a call on my cell phone.  My camera (which has my phone number on it) was left in the cab I took.  When I was paying for my fare, I accidentally forgot my camera in the dark back seat of the taxi.  Another rider found it, and gave to cab driver who called me! 

What a close call!!

So true!  Nice to see some good.  However if that was me, I think my luck would have turned out a different ending!  lol
