K. So I'm watching the Stanley Cup (go Flyers!) and don't want to be answering the phone but the area code was intriguing.
This random guy from Bellimgham said. "hey, I think I have your board". "We have the same address just different cities & zip codes". The guy actually tracked down my phone number.
A friend sold me his directional board and gave it to a shop in Padre to have it shipped. I called the shop to verify the address & pay for shipping. I was wondering why it hasn't arrived yet.
Wow! I'm blown away by the honesty and he will take it to Fed Ex tomorrow to straighten out the confusion.
Impressed..
M.

Weird story.... I just keep picturing this dude showing up at your house in a clown suit with your board and no pants looking for his finders fee.....

I had that happen once with a pair of boots I ordered from Cabella. The story ended differently. The guy at the other address got a brand new pair of boots. I eventually got a pair as well, but after lengthy conversations with customer service.
How did this guy track you down anyway? Did he just google the address and saw it in another city?

A Phone Book? He had her name and adress which makes it easy to find anyones home number.  Plus the phone number can sometimes be on the shipping label.

Holy SH!$$. THAT is funny. i havn't picked up a phone book in about 5 years. Never even considered to just look up a phone number of someone in a paper book.
