I lost my mobile phone :(

What's worse - its a business phone issued by my company!  I've owned a mobile phone for over 8 years - since mid-2000, and I have never lost my mobile phone!  Why now?  

I thought long and hard - it must have been left on the table in "Bangladesh" meeting room at my client's place.  We left the office at about 645pm, and I called security at 1033pm, who told me that it was nowhere to be found.  So between that 4 hours, who picked it up?  Cleaners?

Loads of questions are running through my mind right this moment.... Will the cleaners return it to the security?  Was the security guy really honest, or did he pocket the phone himself?  What will HR say? How will this incident affect my appraisal?  Is the phone insured?  If not how much will I need to pay?

Worried, stressed... but through it all, I must testify that God is still good.
  • Just enough credit in my UK Vodafone a/c to send an SMS to a colleague who actually knew the telephone number to the building security in my client's office
  • Found Voipcheap online that allowed free calls to landlines in Belgium for 1 min per call - just enough to call the building security!
  • Although the phone wasn't found, I managed to connect finally (after 2 calls) to a T-Mobile operator who understood English and could lock my phone a/c
Prayer: Dear God, would you bring me through this ordeal unscathed?
