Took the daughter to brighton on wednesday on my route. on one of the roads, her ipod fell out; we went and backtracked but no luck in finding it...........:smt022
it was probably thrown into the grass; im planning to go there again this Sunday 19 April and have another good look.

If any one wants to come and help us look they will get...
(A) good ride out..
and
(B)get fed for their trouble.....:smt106

The person who actually finds the ipod will get a £50 bonus !..................................
only applicable to one person only...unless you want to share................................

Reminds me of my dad who had a skinfull in Skipton in the 60s. He needed to stop on the way home and managed to loose his false teeth.

The whole family next day walked from Preston to Skipton looking for a pile of puke in the verge and hopefully a set of teeth nearby.


No luck for him that day

Surely it would be safer and less hassle to just buy a new ipod?

I have an ipod in my draw that I never use. You can have that for £50. It's not worth that much but I don't mind.

Tony. I lost my bike, will you buy me a new one too?

Seriously, sorry it got lost dude. How many times have we all done that? Even now I keep getting to work get to the gate, go for my pocket to get my pass and realise my pocket has been left open all the time. :roll:

Sorry TK. Can we go look for iPod sheep now? :smt045

I lost my wallet once after riding the bike. Got home and had a missed call, rang it back and it had been found near my parents place and had a receipt for a bike I'd bought with my mobile number on it. What are the chances of that eh?!

Lost it again a week later on the M3. Never to be seen again.

Doh!

I've recently lost the alarm fob for the ZZR somewhere on the oxford ringroad -and I have no spare, which is an **** as they don't make them any more for that model.

A bit of carful ebaying should ahve you a nice one at far less money mate. Ipods are always coming up on ebay. infact, here in one local to me at the mo, any good?....

Take heart, I lost an mp3 player from a car (don't ask) in the middle of wales. Next day I did the route backwards and found it! Scratched and wet from the rain overnight but still working! May I add it was a Creative, not a fruit-based product. Still working years later!
