There’s some good and bad news if you’re that poor son of bitch who lost the next-generation iPhone in a bar. The bad news is that you’re Internet famous for all the wrong reasons, your career may be screwed and Steve Jobs will likely demand a pound of your flesh. On the upside, you may score a sweet, free trip to Germany thanks to Lufthansa Airlines.

According to an open letter from the airline on Twitter:

I recently read in the news that you lost a very special phone at a German beer bar in California … At Lufthansa we also noted with great interest your passion for German beer and culture. We thought you could use a break soon – and therefore would like to offer you complimentary business class transportation to Munich, where you can literally pick up where you last left off.

Sucks for that dude, but it’s a cute marketing ploy by Lufthansa. Take it, man, I’m guessing you could use the vacation.
