Before we went to breakfast, I asked Steve to give me "valuables" to lock in the suitcase. This hotel doesn't have safes in the room and charges for lock boxes, so we just lock up the computer and other items in my suitcase. Passports are locked up in Hotel Safe for no charge.
Usually I put his whole bag in the suitcase but asked him for just what I had to add to the suitcase "safe." I took his camera and he said the only other thing was his PDA. It wasn't in his bag. Unusual for it not to be there. The last he saw it was a couple of days ago when he was hotsyncing it and fixing some stuff on it.
When we came into hotel last night, there was a message that we thought couldn't be for us so gave it back to desk clerk. Steve realized this morning that it might have something to do with the PDA so asked about. Yes, it was a call from The Phone Store, near an area where we were yesterday. Message said to call by 7PM last night. Couldn't have called anyway because we didn't get back to hotel until almost 10PM. Our desk clerk tried calling this morning, but no answer. Steve checked online to see if there was an email or something else for contact, but all he found out was that they were closed on Sunday. Our desk clerk said they will continue calling even after we leave hotel tomorrow morning at 10AM. Hopefully it can be shipped to him. I've asked my friend here in Paris to take care of it if the store won't.
We think it fell out of his bag when he was taking out his camera yesterday. Fortunately, an honest person probably thought it was a Smart Phone (which we don't have yet) so took it to a phone store. That person was able to check the calendar and saw that we were staying at this hotel. It's good that I always Repeat an event if it's for more than one day.
It will be interesting to get the whole story.
