Ethics question

So much info that is unknown.

Is it where kids walk to school - where a kid might have dropped it?

Would a kid be checking lost and found on craigslist?

You have full support from the membership it seems, but I know that I posted signs where a dude t-boned my car in an intersection and I never heard anything for a week.

You should know if what you do is right.
 
Remember Chili.... karma is a rude bitch when she wants to be. I would do this. Hang on to it for a bit. If it's not claimed within say... 2 weeks, give it to your 7 yr old, and treat it as an upgrade to the player she already has. My guess is that it could have been lost by a little kid, and might be scared to let their parents know that they lost a hundred plus bucks worth of electronics.
 
Appreciate the feedback on these last 2 posts - where I found it definitely would not have been left by a young kid. Almost certain it belongs to a college student. It was on the picnic table right behind our office, and we have Pitt buildings all around us here. I do still have it.
 
So what is on it in terms of music? You can tell a lot just by that.

I think they can be named too so if you connect it to itunes it will say "Joe Smith's iPod" or whatever. Then you can maybe find out whose it is.

If they listen to a bunch of ukranian yak herding music it might be a little harder.

Co-worker tried to connect it, it doesnt give ID info. It's got a bunch of modern pop on it, like Katy Perry and crap. :embarrassed:
 
Put a flyer on the picnic table you found it "lost your mp3 player? if you can identify it by the music and color of the device you can get it back" type deal and your #.

Probably the same look you had when you realized some one broke your Window just to steal some ramen and a soda :grin:

Someone smashed a window in a buddy's car last year and rummaged through the whole car only to find a couple pennies in the ash tray. Apparently this pissed the guy off so much that he ripped off the unlocked glove box door and put a cig out on the drivers seat

My brother in law parked on a sketchy dead end in our neighborhood back in the days when portable cd players were the latest in car audio technology, and he left his sitting on the passenger side seat. Someone broke the car window and took the thing. His comment was that the thief only stole a 60 dollar cd player, but it would cost him much more to get his car window fixed, and he said it as if that logic should have played into the thief's reasoning. I reminded him that the thief wasn't going to pay anything for his car window.
 
i found an 160GB IPod in a snowbank. Put up a few flyers, with an ad on craigslist.

I got responses but nobody could identify what was on it, so they didn't get it.

half the memory was Asian pr0n. still have it. :thu:
