Not a good couple of days for me. I was able to track the phone to <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Jamaica,_Queens\" target=\"_blank\">Jamaica, Queens<\/a>, with the Find My iPhone app. I sent it an emergency message, saying there would be a reward for its return. No luck. What kind of person keeps a phone with 100 photos of a <a href=\"http:\/\/fitzroythecat.tumblr.com\/post\/21844552312\" target=\"_blank\">grumpy-faced cat on it<\/a>? There&#8217;s something extra mean about depriving a person of her (un-backed-up) cat pictures.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week official YouTube channel has some highlights from the show.
