These are all the broken cell phones I have found littered on the ground over the past 7 years while walking around Columbus Ohio by piranhamode

veespike on March 2, 2026 12:10 am I wonder how many people will see this and think “Holy shit! He told me he got rid of that phone!”
Jakesummers1 on March 2, 2026 12:15 am Collecting things from an imaginary place like *Ohio* Wild stuff
Accomplished_Emu_658 on March 2, 2026 12:16 am I wonder how many are burners and you have evidence of a crime.
eddievandawg on March 2, 2026 12:19 am Wonder if one is mine. Lost it off morse road. Left it sitting on top of my car i think
Accomplished_Gur4466 on March 2, 2026 12:31 am Start opening them and collect a bit of gold that is in them, i know its not a lot but its something
Gamerwhovian9 on March 2, 2026 12:36 am Man where in Columbus are you walking? I rarely saw a lost phone and if I did it was by campus or high street
RLewis8888 on March 2, 2026 12:44 am As someone who spent 40 years in Columbus, OP is likely close to OSU campus area.
Shen1076 on March 2, 2026 12:50 am Now find the video about recovering the gold that’s in each one.
stillalone on March 2, 2026 12:54 am See if you can salvage some ram and flash. Shit is getting expensive.

Ok-Jackfruit-6873 on March 2, 2026 1:12 am Imagine if there was a serial killer in Columbus Ohio and the last thing he does each time is smash the phone

Dudes got like 7 million dollars worth of ram right there.
I’m betting that some of those should be in an evidence locker
