Plural: lost phones
You'd fire this thing up, but the battery's dead and you don't have an appropriate adapter for it, so you don't have any way to figure out what the number is, or who it belongs to. There's something spooky about a lost phone, anyway. It makes you wonder if the owner is also lost. Like if, once you turned it on, Amelia Earhart might call. Or Jimmy Hoffa. Or the crew of the Flying Dutchman. Wouldn't that be creepy?
