Dropped Thing 1 off yesterday morning for a weekly skiing trip to Mt Baker. I was barely awake and had put my phone in the pocket of my pj's. It apparently fell out without my noticing. Someone later saw and picked it up. When we tried calling it later that day to see if we could hear the ringer they noticed the call attempt and used that opportunity to get my wife's number so he could call back and tell us he had the had the phone. Turned out he was at the same place (YMCA) my wife was heading to take Thing 2 to his basketball game.
Got the phone back with a full charge even. Screen is broken, though that is most likely from being run over. Still usable. Since its marketed as indestructible I'll see if it's warrantied.
Phone is encrypted so if he tried to get anything from it he should have been thwarted.
