6.11.12 What was lost is found

Today was errand - get things done day. I had ordered some new seat covers for the Jeep because the ones on it were falling apart. The new covers had been sitting in a box in the foyer for 2 weeks so I decided I should probably put them on. It was already hot but I went out and got to work on it.
Last August I was going kayaking at the Texas Rowing Center for the first time with HCO and I had my back pack full of electronic stuff for video and such. I decided that there was no need for me to take everything with me so I took my ipod Touch out of the bag and I thought I had put it under the passenger seat of the Jeep. I was late and in a hurry so the details get a little confused. I ended up not taking my bag with me. I left it at the counter because the kayaks were the open kind and I didn't want everything to get wet. When I got back it was late and I looked for the ipod Touch and couldn't find it anywhere. I decided it had been stolen. My alarm had not been working at the time. It was very disappointing because it was an expensive little piece of technology. The next day I looked all through out the Jeep and couldn't find it anywhere (there are really not that many hiding places in there). I went online to try and locate it but that doesn't work if it isn't turned on. So I sent a kill order out on it so that if I had anything important on it no one could steal it.
Back to today....As I took the old seat cover off the driver side seat- I found the ipod Touch hidden in the really tight space between the driver seat and the console. I guess since I thought I had put it on the passenger side I must not have looked too hard on the drivers side. I finished with the seat covers and took the Touch back in to the house. The case it was in was dirty but it appeared to be ok otherwise. I called Apple to see if there was anyway to get rid of the kill order on my Touch but they weren't very helpful. Basically the answer is no. I charged it up and was able to see what was there previously but as soon as I hooked it up to the computer it wiped the whole thing clean. I only lost some pictures that I would have like to have kept.
I also headed back to the school with all of my paperwork for residency.When I got there I was told that it looked good but since I didn't move here til the 20th that I needed to bring it back. She double checked to make sure I hadn't lost my classes and I was sent on my way again. Ugh!
