Anyone hear the bloke call up on Sydney Fire comms channel 103 today and say he's found a radio?
Went something like....
Bloke - "hello, I've found a radio"
Operator - "This is Sydney Fire comms, can you repeat your last message"?
Bloke - "yeah, I think one of the cops has left his radio at X address" (I assume he thinks it"s a cop radio)
Operator - "thank you. can you please take it to your nearest post office which isn't far from your current location and we'll organise someone to pick it up"
Bloke - "ok" ....long pause....."do I get a reward?"
Operator - "you will be rewarded with a big thankyou so leave your name with the radio"
Bloke - "no worries, I was just joking about the reward"

Re: Punter finds a FRNSW radio..
I found an FRNSW radio myself a while ago, our RFS brigade turned out to yet another AFA at a local retirement home (burnt toast yet again), went downstairs to the panel and I started hearing voices, turned around and one of the FR crew had left a portable on the table, still running!
Went past their station to drop it off and nobody had even realised it was missing... should'a kept it in our truck instead...

Wouldn't had been the first time and won't be the last, and the fact the Comm's Operator told the individual to go to a Post Office . . . well one might say there seems to be a well planned recovery system inplace.
Even my Station has misplaced a couple, one being handed into the local Police station after being found on the road, only problem it had undergone modifications to be reduced in bulk after being run over a thew times, didn't seem to sound the same after that.
