I found a jawbone up4

[Deleted]

i found a jawbone up4.  They sell for ~$140 on Amazon.  At first I thought there was no way to return it to the owner, because I have no idea who that is.  I found it on the sidewalk, while walking.  I started wearing it and like it.  I was asking online how to do something on it and mentioned I found it.  One guy said I should return it to the owner and said the way to do that was to send it to Jawbone and they could find the owner through the serial number.  I sent a message to jawbone and they said they would send me a prepaid package to send it to them. 

I sent back a message asking if they would be able to find the owner.  They didnt reply to that.  I dont want to send it back if they can't find the owner.  I like having it.

Do you think they will find the owner or will Jawbone just throw it away?  It is in their interest to not send it back and hope the person who lost it buys another.  It has been a month since I found it.  Would Jawbone send it back to me if they can't find the owner?

What I found.

It really doesn't matter, @hickle.  It isn't yours.    It is like finding someone's cell.  Not quite because the depth of the information is not quite the same, but it is a personalized device.  It can even be linked to an American Express card.

If the company can't find the owner because the owner never registered it, the right thing is to destroy it.

I know it can be linked to an American Express card, but I thought, mostly guessed, that it had to have a blue tooth connection to a phone.  Otherwise it is a pretty insecure way to do credit card. 

eta; I was wrong. You don’t need your phone with you, or to push any buttons –

I'm so not with it.

I read the title and thought you found a human jaw bone.

What about selling it on e-Bay and donating the proceeds to charity? After I left my job with the company with the wellness program, DH and I had a small pile of FitBit Zips and accessories and even the little plastic widgets to open the battery compartment sold on E-Bay. Jawbones are a lot more valuable.

Same. Even as I was reading it I was like... o.o I had no clue what it was. 

People just going around selling jawbones now.
I could use a new one. Mine cracks all the time. Has to be because I let my wisdom teeth grow fully in. Oops. But they didn't even make my teeth crooked sooo >.> I suppose I'll deal with the cracking. 

But as for wanting it back? I don't know. I don't blame you for wanting it back. I know some places let people do that...If you can't find the real owner then the person that found it can keep it..

BUT...the RIGHT thing to do is to...yes, send it back. BUT I mean? It doesn't hurt to ask anyways, right? =P 

-- I also really don't know what this jawbone is to be honest.

In order to use the UP4, the owner would have linked it to an account with jawbone. Jawbone will be able to at least email the owner.

It's not yours. If you like it, buy one yourself. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

No one has, Jawbone makes Bluetooth speakers activity trackers.
