I think you are facing an uphill battle if you already told her you want a reward, IMO.
Let's face it, she doesn't know you from a hole in the wall and without facial cues and a first impression if you were in person, saying that with playful grin, etc..., i think a complete stranger saying this over the phone will be interpreted as either a) you literally want one or b) you are hinting for one but saying it in a joking manner. Neither of which is something a truly good Samaritan would do, and if someone did it to me, while I would be appreciative of their effort to return my item, I would not think highly of...just to be honest with ya.
I'd avoid the li'l wayne comment as well since it does show you poked around.
To be honest i'm not sure what your next gambit is after that opener. :) good luck let us know how it goes..
