Saved From Further Embarrassment

Last Tuesday I did the unthinkable—walked out of a bar with my precious iPad sitting on the table. It was the day before leaving town for Thanksgiving, and it wasn't until I was well on my way out of the state before I realized it wasn't in my bag where it belongs.

That first feeling is terrible; I was pretty sure I had left it at the bar, but I wasn't entirely convinced. My instinct was to use the Find My iPhone app to locate it, but because of another massive lapse of focus, the account to which I logged in was not the account with which the iPad was registered. So I figured I had simply forgot to enable the feature on the device.

I called the BrewCo Manhattan Beach to inquire about my lost item, and to my utter relief they had found it and held it for me until I was able to pick it up the following Sunday.

When I came to get it, they wisely asked me to unlock it in front of them to prove it was mine, and at long last we were reunited. That first Tuesday was my first trip to the BrewCo, and if their good food and great beer selection weren't good enough reasons to return (they were), the honest and responsible staff are another reason I will definitely be going back soon. If you're in the area, you should check it out as well.

Thanks again, guys.
