A Canadian tourist who lost their phone during a Snoop Dogg concert in Dublin has begun a search to find the two ladies who came to their rescue.
The gig in the 3Arena back in March must have been a great one because the tourist was so excited to get back to the show that they left their phone in the bathroom. Thankfully two women found the phone and before they brought it to a staff member for rescue, took a lovely selfie to highlight their kindness.
Now the Canadian tourist, who went on a desperate search for the phone after the gig, is trying to thank them. Were it not for the pair's resourcefulness, they would have been left without ID, boarding passes and credit cards as they headed off to Cobh in Co Cork.
Taking to Reddit to share their story, the tourist said they were only two days into their two week trip from Canada when the mishap occurred. They also had great things to say about the hospitality and niceness of the Irish people during their stay here.

They said: "Back in March my partner and I were at the snoop dogg concert in dublin. This was our second day of a 2 week trip ( from canada) I had a many MANY drinks, went to the washroom at some point during the concert, and apparently left my phone there. In a Manic drunk panic after the concert as were about to get into a cab, I realized my phone was missing!! We went back to the building, and the security wouldn't let me go back in.
"They said I had to come back tomorrow, however, we were heading to Cobh the next morning and I NEEDED my phone as it had all my identification and credit cards, boarding pass...as even more panic set in, a security guard came down with an arm full of phones, wallets, and purses! Under the huge pile was my phone! I unlocked it, as proof, and was good to go.
"Next morning I went to go through my photos to see what amazing drunk photos and videos I took, and came across THIS photograph as the last one took .THESE are the wonderful ladies who turned in my phone. If anyone knows them, please tell them thank you from the bottom of my heart. My trip to Ireland was so amazing, and it could have been a nightmare without all my information on / in that phone. The Irish hospitality, locals and genuine niceness made me never want to leave . When people ask me about my trip, I tell them . Yes, Ireland IS a beautiful country, but the people are what make it amazing!"
