Got the phone back! I tried it this morning and it was on the move through Heidelberg. I thought it's obviously still on the bus! I tracked it through the suburbs until it was near my place and went out to the bus stop, caught that bus and found it wedged down between the seat and the wall! It was so exciting! Hey, I'm a middle aged mum, it's the most exciting thing I've done all year! The bus driver was kind enough to wait at the stop for me to search for it as well. Wonder how often they clean the buses tho..
