Ever found something that isn't yours? Be it on the road, in the office, in school, on the floor, in the toilet. Did you keep it? Was it valuable? Did you try to find the owner and return it? Did you get a word of thanks?

Once, I found an expensive phone on the floor . Eventough I was rushing, i still took my time in finding the owner . After half an hour, i finally located the owner. And after all my effort, the least i could expect was a thanks . The owner didn't even bother to look back .

Till this day, I'm still continuing these good deeds tough . It's really satisfying to see the look on the face of grateful people when they get their things returned to them:)

How about you people? Anything lost BUT found again?
or...
Anything found BUT kept?:)
Do share:)

I once found money which fell from a guy pocket, i rushed behind him to give him his money, after some minutes of chase, i finally returned him. Then he thanks me and make his way on. If i see something which just fell from a person pocket or purse, i will return the person, even if he does not bother to thanks me. But if i see money which is on the ground or any other expensive thing, and that there are nobody around, then i will keep it. It depends, if it has just fell or had already fell and lying on th ground.

Yeah;) It makes alot of difference when something just fell or has been there for a long time . Thanks for your views.

I found a wallet once when I was working. There was no id in it so I turned it into the service desk. No one came for it for three months so the manager said I could have it. It actually paid to do the right thing in that case, literally . happy


Mywrlot (40)   ranked 20,952 out of 35,455 in people  11 months ago

Haha . Honesty really is the best policy and it does pay
After 3 months...Assuming there was an identity in it . Would you have gone through all theat trouble to find the rightful owner?

When I found something, I must lost something even more than these. So I usually feel worried.Do not laugh at me, it is truth.From child to now,I pay attention the truth. So I usually try to find the owner when I found something, and I also can receive their appreciation and smile face. As the same, I can get my lost stuff from other people too.If I were you, I will also be unhappy or gloomy,but please you trust, almost people are kind. Keep doing that, you will get more smile and you can get more too. I support you.


Mywrlot (40)   ranked 20,952 out of 35,455 in people  11 months ago

Thanks man . Great principle too:)
I'll keep returning stuff i find, no matter if i get any gratitude or not.After all, we should treat people the way we want to be treated
