Lost phone

I lost my phone (T-Mobile G1). The last time I clearly remember having it was around noon, in the 3rd floor men's room in the MIT student center (near our MIT Mystery Hunt team's headquarters), and it's quite possible that I left it there.

I'm not sure what all I need to do about it. I'm going to ask about a lost & found tomorrow, and talk to the cleaning staff. I've tried calling my number, but no answer (and I'm sure the battery's dead by now anyway). I'm a little worried about what passwords I might have on the phone, though unless someone is a dedicated identity thief I doubt they could/would do much damage. Also, should I contact T-Mobile? Do I need to cancel my number, or can I keep my number if I end up getting a new phone?

Has anyone dealt with a lost smartphone recently? Any tips for how to deal with it?
