Poll: Would you keep it?

[SonicKoala]

Honestly, I think what you did was kind of shitty; apparently this person "couldn't get home without the phone" - that could mean a multitude of things, but one thing is for certain - you SHOULD HAVE GIVEN IT BACK. Anyway, that's what I would have done. I'd feel tremendously guilty if I hadn't.

One time I found an Iphone in the seat pocket in front of me on a plane. My dad and I found the person and mailed it too him. He wrote a letter back thanking us for it and said that we restored a bit of his hope for good people. Suffice to say; It made me happy panda

I'd have either just let it be on the floor, or taken it to the lost and found.

While you prolly can't find teh owner yourself, with so many people, the owner woudl prolly check the lost and found.

Your cousin seems to let greed pwn morale.

I would have kept it with me until I got the text tell her to meet me somewhere(like by the front desk), and given it back before kicking my cousins ass for trying to ve a selfish prick

Whenever I find stuff, I bring it to a nearby lost & found or at least the nearest reception desk or whatever.
I can't be bothered to look for the person who lost it but I don't just keep it, either.

I would have given it back, or at least returned it to lost and found. Mobile phones are useless anyway when found, since you dont have the charger and ones it happens to deactivate you cant use it anymore since you dont know the password. That, and they are not exactly expensive to get anymore, so I dont really see the value of a found phone.

if I were you, when your cousin handed the phone to me, I'd have ran off with it and given it to lost and found. Then probably punched your cousin cus that's illegal. & If I was the person who lost it, I'd have punched your cousin as well.

 

[GrinningManiac]

I'd probably lift (steal) it from my associate who wants to keep it, call the person, find them, explain what your friend/cousin did without naming names (hell, I'd just say I found it and feign confusion and non-involement when she discovers things have been deleted)

As for the cousin, what's she/he gonna do? Repremand you for getting rid of hot (criminal) goods with no repruccussions to either of you?

I'm quite a manipulative person in this way. I will slide to fix things withotu direct responsibility.

 

[SmartIdiot]

Your cousin is a thieving *****, you're no better for assisting her in the matter. You should be fucking ashamed of yourselves.

Well, seeing as I currently have no phone, I'd like to have one even if I don't use it. It's the girls' fault for dropping anyway.

The girls' fault for dropping anyway... so nothing's ever fallen out of your pocket then?

 

[The Red Spy]

Congratz on lacking a spine. So your cousin forced you into deleted the memory, didn't you even question that or realise what it would mean? You just stole a phone, pure a simple. The owner even goes and texts you, but you damage their property and keep it for yourselves, even when it's clear they need it to simply get home. Don't go by that foolish rule of finders keepers, it was still their property and you could of returned it at no loss (You could have been given a reward if they were greatful, but that shouldn't be your motive).

I'm sorry but you're a fucking idiot in my definition, you say you've had your own phone stolen, but you think it's fair game to do it to someone else? What a dick.
