Donuts from ghosts - Found and lost

I seem to have been quite lucky until now. This morning I found my third donut from popping a ghost in a friend's town. When returning to the friends screen I lost the server again and returned to my SF sometime later, but as far as I could tell I got the donut (wasn't sure though). Now, a few minutes ago, I thought I couldn't believe my eyes - there was donut number four, again in a friend's town. I finished popping ghosts and clicked on the Bart/Milhouse button to find that I lost connection again. I returned to my SF, but this time the donut definitely was lost in the process. :evil: Now I know I've been really lucky so far as compared to others who didn't find a donut yet, but I do find this very annoying. This is such a great update and it gets damaged so much by this continuous breakdowns of server connections. I cannot play ten minutes straight without the game telling me it can't connect or having an endlessly spinning donut while changing from one town to another. It really is a shame. I don't wanna think about how many goos, gremlins, in-game cash and XP I've lost in the past days because they haven't been synched properly. :( Isn't there some in-phone memory where the game saves such things until they can be correctly synched to the servers?

This had to be said. Apart from that, great updates and thanks for the free donuts. Now, if we could just keep them...
