Funny story that won't help at all:
A couple years ago, lurkette and I were on vacation visiting my parents. One night we went to this great asian restaurant for dinner, and when we left, lurkette forgot her pocketbook. The way this pocketbook worked was, there was a slot inside the cover of it to hold her palm pilot.
On our way home from the restaurant, my grandmother called my mother's cell phone, extremely upset. She said had just gotten a call from some chinese-sounding person who had kidnapped lurkette and was holding her for ransom.
Turns out, our waitress had opened the purse, seen the palm pilot, turned it on, and saw my grandmother's number, which was the most recent one lurkette had looked up, and called it. Somehow between the woman's accent and my grandmother's poor hearing and sketchy grasp on modern life, the "We have your granddaughter's purse" turned into "We have your granddaughter".
Funny story. Told you it wouldn't help.
