Not good.So, as soon as I realized the phone was lost and had no luck calling it or tracking down the cab that drove away with it, I went about the business of changing my Google Account passwords.

When you're not logged in, an @ button appears next to each comment, as well as a "Comment on this post via email" link. Click it to dash off a message with your thoughts on the post. Like all first comments submitted to Lifehacker, your message is subject to approval before it shows up in the thread. If it is, you'll get a randomly assigned user name for each comment-by-email after that. Of course, we won't publish your address on site. Non-logged in readers, give it a try, and let us know what you think.
