Replacing a phone/iPod/iPad/tablet can prove expensive and stressful, not to mention the frustration of losing all your information with it. But here's a tip that could help ensure your device is returned quickly, saving money and stress!
Recently, when my husband and I went to Melbourne, we both turned on our pass code locks on our devices and then wrote a 'note' saying 'This device belongs to ****, if found please contact ******* on ******** and you will be rewarded for your honesty and its return. Thank you, much appreciated!' We then took a screenshot and loaded it as the lock screen. I know there are apps that can help you find your phone but this way there is more likelihood that it will be returned quickly!

My cheapo phone does not have a lock screen so just put a screensaver with the other contact Number on it. Yep a good tip.
Good idea from simplesavings.com newsletter
