im confused.
in the midst of mad cramming for my boards this week, i left my wallet+keys+cell in a bathroom stall when i was changing into work clothes. yes, im an idiot like that. anyways, closely monitored amex and visa accts online, zero transactions since i lost my wallet. closely monitored verizonwireless, zero activity since i lost it. so i assumed that a good person must have found them and turned them into lost+found. checked with the lost+found office this morning: nada. checked with all the local security, no one knew of a wallet+keys+cell being turned in. so why would someone find my stuff, take it, but then not use it? theories? btw, im going through with cancelling all cards and getting replacement phone and other important stuff. so annoying. |

at 9:02 AM, Thursday September 1, 2011 EDT His point isn't that it's legal, it's that it's so petty that it would cost the card holder more money to prosecute him rather than let it slide. He's justifying his crime by the amount he stole being so small coupled with his "good samaritan" act of returning the belongings.

at 9:12 AM, Thursday September 1, 2011 EDT The cost of the subpoena (whether its $60, $30 or $15) and the filing fee are all recoverable if the plantiff were to win. There would no problem finding a judge to take the case, that is what the small claims is there for.

at 9:23 AM, Thursday September 1, 2011 EDT point being to yodel, that after he found out i spent his 25 dollars, he sent me a thank you card anyways. No cop in the united states would arrest me for a crime 8 years ago where the 'victim' sent a thank you card for being 'victimized'
It wasn't as 'sleazy' as you say. I took something, told the person I took that I took it, and was fully willing to return the money if requested to do so. Theft is the taking of someone's property so as to deprive them the use of it themselves, with no intent to return said property. I mailed this guy his wallet with my name and return address. It's not theft. Get off your fiero-hate wagon. |

at 9:35 AM, Thursday September 1, 2011 EDT tbh the fiero hate wagon is comfy. jk. and yes i agree that it is not theft.
but there is an issue with the unauthorized use of a credit card. i was simply asking some more questions regarding the issues surrounding the use of a 'found' credit card and how anyone would support the justification for fraudulent use of one. |

at 11:40 AM, Thursday September 1, 2011 EDT if you want to get into semantics, it's not theft. but it is illegal to use someone else's credit card without their consent

at 11:58 AM, Thursday September 1, 2011 EDT Riding with my roommates years back driver of the car came to a sudden stop in the left of the road, we were all wondering wtf dude was doing until he hoped out and ran back collecting money in the street leading back to a wallet. We were on our way to get some pizzas and beers, so the cash we found paid for that. The person that owned the wallet collected it from my roommate at his work a few days later super thankful and didn't even ask about the cash, was about $100, figuring that was the finders fee or it was lost before the wallet was found.
/cool story bro. |

at 12:11 PM, Thursday September 1, 2011 EDT your story sucks. i have been with 2 people who have found 100 dollar bills on the ground, both times we splurged and just had fun with 100 dollars we didn't have before. Neither incident had a wallet. Once in Sydeney, once in Boston.
