Stop to think how you would feel if you lost your goodies and think how you'd feel when someone returned them.





I saw a sign the other day: ';I found your jacket, green men's jacket, call xxxxx';. Actually it wasn't one sign. There were 10 of them on lampposts around where, apparently, this jacket was found, so the owner could not miss it.





Someone went through the trouble of putting up 10 signs to return somebody's property.





What's the lesson in that?


First, it's good for the owner.


Second, it probably makes the finder feel good about himself - and well-deserved.


Third: It's a message to anyone passing by that spot: There are people who find something and don't take it as their own. That message stuck in my mind - as I'm sure it has in others.





I say all of that is worth more than someone's shopping.

Enjoy it.
hand it in to customer services at the shop where it was bought..that way my conscience would be clear
Depends on where you find it. If you find it in a more private place like in your apartment building or something, then I would leave it since the owner may come back for it. If it is in a highly public place, say on the street or in public transportation, most likely someone else will take it. But I probably wouldn't take it since I don't know anything about it, so I personally would leave it alone, but I wouldn't look down on anyone who would take it since its pretty much open for the taking...
If there was no way of knowing who it belonged to I'd probably go home and enjoy my new stuff. They shouldn't have left it behind.
If this happens you require to have empathetic understanding. Easy as all you have to do is imagine how you would feel if these were yours and you lost them. However, if you hand these in to Customer Services in a store, police etc insist of a receipt and state you require to know the outcome. I am afraid on lots of occasions someone is honest enough to do this and alas the other party claims the goods for himself/herself. If it is for example found in an apt block then a notice in the lobby or wherever stating you have found a bag, describing same and if anyone has lost this and can tell you what is in it they should contact you at wherever.
if you have no way of knowing who it belongs to then all you can either return it to the store , and they will just resell it because they wont know either . or keep it and enjoy
sort through the cds to see if i want any, give the perfumes to my female friends, eat the chocolate, drink the wine, and do whatever with the other stuff.
If in a car park, bus, etc. Turn it in to the shop manager, or transit people. If multiple shops it is possible that the person loosing the bag will go round to several to see if it had been turned in.



Well, probably keep it if it was just left somewhere. First, I'd inspect it for bombs.
