[Salone]

One very stormy night, my phone slipped out of my pocket as I was getting out of my car. Tumbles to the soaking wet ground. Don't notice, go inside and now I cannot find my phone. I drive back to work to see if I left it there. In the process, I drive my tires over my phone. When I get back, I unwittingly parked my front left tire on top of my phone. It's now the weekend, so I cannot find my phone and calling it is not helping. Bummed, I order a new one. New one shows up at work, I go to get it, and once I'm back is when I find out about my poor poor phone.

Somehow by sheer luck, the softness of the ground meant that the tire just smushed it in to the ground, and also kept it from getting too wet. It worked, no cracks or anything, but now I was out $100+ on an insurance replacement.
