does what he found of yours work for him? Yope to FA Is what he lost comprised of bits and bytes? It was a physical object, but it had bits and bytes on it... can he use yours? Yope is it a substitute for his? Yope when yours is working, is it something you use? Yope daily? weekly? probably between weekly and monthly, although each of those times, I will use it many times over a period of a couple hours as recreation? Yes did you pay for yours? Yes if so, is where you use it rel.? Yes Hint: All the "yopes" are due to the same thing. | ||

was the physical object a computer? laptop computer? handheld device--(personal digital assistant) like palm pilot or blackberry? cell phone? smart phone? bluetooth? if bluetooth, did he possibly reset the profile so that it could be used with his phone? were there any distinguishing marks on your item that would make him know it was yours? or did it look identical to his item? did he think your item was his? when he tried to use the item, did he realize it wasn't his, but since he couldn't figure out whose it was, he decided to use it as his own? | ||

None of the above were there any distinguishing marks on your item Yes that would make him know it was yours? No or did it look identical to his item? Not exactly identical, but the difference was such that there was no way he knew it was mine did he think your item was his? Yes when he tried to use the item, did he realize it wasn't his No, but since he couldn't figure out whose it was, he decided to use it as his own? He thought it was his own when he used it | ||

credit card? debit card? atm card? here's a thought--he had the item which was yours, and tried to use it as his own, using his code/password/etc. but it was rejected (because he needed your code/password/etc.) so your item stopped working because the wrong code/password/etc. had been used too many times... | ||

so basically he lost his "paper item" and found your "paper item", so your "plastic card with a magnetic strip" stopped working, correct? The "ish" part to whether it is a club membership card: does this have to do with the fact that it is maybe not a membership, or does this have to do with the fact that it might be a different type of club that you are thinking of? could it possibly be a different type of "club" like a bookstore membership card? a wholesale grocery warehouse--like sam's club in the states? the paper item--is it a document? money? something with words on it? numbers on it? | ||

the items that your friend lost-- was the plastic card affixed to the paper item (I know that some cards come attached to the paper with information on it). Was it a check card by any chance? | ||

ok, here's a guess on what happened: -he loses his paper and card. -he finds your paper and calls the customer service number on it. -he reports his card lost/stolen and reads off the id numbers of the card from the paper (which happens to be your paper, and the id numbers are the id numbers to your own card.) -customer service says they will send him a new card, and they get rid of the old card (which is yours) -when you go to use your card, you don't realize customer service has "deleted" this card, so it no longer works. | ||

Correct! And that is the SPOILER. It was an arcade card at a GameWorks, and he didn't actually "call" any number he just took it to the front desk, but that is close enough. |
