In the parking lot, I set the phone on top of my car so I could strap my 13-month-old into his seat and load our dog into the back. My luck finally ran out yesterday, after going for a run, using my iPhone 5 to listen to my favorite games podcast (and, at one point, to phone park rangers after chancing on a guy who’d tragically tumbled from his bike, dislocated his arm and shaved off enough skin and muscle to expose bone). The iPhone was fine, with nary a scratch or screen crack. I realized a few minutes down the road that I didn’t have the thing in my pocket, but the car’s Bluetooth system indicated it was present somewhere in the vehicle, so I pulled over, popped the rear hatch (not realizing where the phone was) and poked around in the trunk, then gave up, dropped the hatch, and bam, there it was, now cradled in one heck of a dent in the frame, thanks to my brainless torquing. The first time this happened, I forgot my iPhone 4 on the roof of my Jetta wagon, near the rear hatch door, where it lodged in the seam between the door and the frame. I’ve done that at least four times now: first with my iPhone 4, and more recently with my iPhone 5. I know that sounds obvious, but don’t even set it there for a second. Follow tip: never, ever leave your smartphone on top of your car.
