perhaps i'm getting ahead of myself in arguing my point. do i have the information correct? i thought the phone was lost, then found—which is different from being stolen. was it actually illegally and maliciously pick-pocketed from some well to do engineer? i suppose that's a different point, but still; if it's that important, what's it doing in a bar in the first place?
doktor, your scenario (which sucks btw, sorry) is an entirely different circumstance. it's not like a bunch of thieves penetrated (eww) apple's HQ and mission impossible'd off with an invaluable piece of technology. it's more like some drunk employee left his phone at a bar and now there's going to be hell to pay for it because it was important and it belonged to someone even more important.
maybe after all these years it's just that i still believe in finders keepers losers weepers, which i take comfort in being a perfect logical expectation for lost belongings. do i think it's right necessarily? no, but this is the world we live in. i should note: despite my contentment with losing things and knowing they'll likely be gone tomorrow (which is again different from being stolen), i would never keep anything i found if there were a chance i could return it to its rightful owner.
- i did keep a gi joe i found in a playground once when i younger, even though i knew...gabe
- who it belonged to. i still feel kinda guilty :(gabe
- It's okay, guilt is good. You can send it back you know... I won't tell. =]DoktorDavid
