Honestly, i think he maybe couldve even left the phone with that intention tbh. Like who doesn't have a code on their phone? And who would say "oh no that's fine, KEEP IT!" When you say ur willing to bring it back? Ol buddy probably got a work phone and another MESS phone or some shit

But, maybe he doesn't and he's really this uber squeaky clean person. Iono, but going thru his phone wasnt outta the way, especially in this scenario. U didn't even know he was trying to fck with u, so ur looking for the fckn deets. I can dig it
