Enslaved tells us more.
OP here! First off, when I called the number, a man answered. When I told him I found a phone,(an iPhone5c for those that are curious) he told me to "**** off" and that I had the wrong number, then hung up on me. He called the phone back a few minutes later and I could hear him yelling to what I assumed was his wife/GF in the background. He was asking her if she went out shopping? and how dare she spend his money, plus lose her phone! I did give the phone to the manager of the department store and told the man to pick it up there tomorrow if he wants it, since the store was already closed for the night. My heart is just uneasy because I know that my call caused what seems to be an argument between the lady that owns the phone and an irate man. I could tell he was very controlling and she was very afraid of him.

Just tell him how much you saved him by finding the phone.
Exactly OP you didn't do anything wrong.
And he could save even more by switching to Gico...
No no no, progressive is where it's at.
Well... They are going to have something to talk about when she gets home...
Not on the phone though?
Calmly give the phone to the store manager and try not to think about how angry the husband will be.
well this is not a FYL nor a YDI :)
you did the right thing, not sure what he thought making you feel awkward would accomplish though
You just earned yourself some good karma!
I bet it's not just his earnings she's blowing.
#65 Or she doesn't have a job and it literally is his money?
You're a good person. Most people I know would keep and sell the phone.
That is really her problem. But you're an awesome honest person for giving it back!

Your call didn't cause anything. Her lying about going off shopping and his attitude in general started the argument between them.
