Maybe no one took your backpack because they thought it could be a bomb?
When you’ve gone over something again and again and again and again, like I have, certain questions get answered. Others spring up. Your mind plays tricks on you. You play tricks back.

Enid Blyton, Kenneth Grahame, Beatrix Potter, Susan Cooper, JRR Tolkien; they’re all authors that I met by torchlight under the blankets.

I was thinking more of the problem of calling someone when I can’t see my contact list. I suppose I might adopt a variation of your technique.
