I've read / heard of at least a dozen accounts of this kind, involving Blackberries or other handsets.
I would estimate fewer than 10% of misplaced mobile phones are immediately returned / eventually recovered.
Learned a few lessons along the way:
(i) If I put my phone down (i.e.: to charge overnight), it's never out of sight/reach.
(ii) If my phone is not tucked into my belt mounted pouch (i.e.: I'm nekked), it's on loudest ringer.
Everytime; no exceptions.
Which is exactly why (reception-permitting & unless I'm hot-swapping a SIM) I'm accessible every second of every minute of every hour of every day.

I guess you had your blackberry out to look cool with the other people in the bar?
IMO leave that **** hidden or at home. I've had friends get a nice new phone, bring it to the bar, forget it somewhere and POOF gone.
You could also get rogers to put a hold on your account until you get a new blackberry.

yeah..i had my phone out to look cool.... honestly... i don't know why the hell I put it on the table...I always put it in my pocket 
.... it's all good, it was free, just spoke to Rogers, they waived the $100 fee after about a 30 minute convo with a rep..it was like pulling teeth! In the end, I was paying too much for that crap...it was a sign from god! we in a damn recession ! lol

Why else would you leave your cell phone or anything else valuable on the table or out in the open at the bar? I guess thinking is a little hard for you?
