Re: The Rant Thread
I'm with Axlin08 on this one.
if it has details in it, then you know who's money it is, then it's theft to me same as if you stole it out of their pocket in the first place.
The act of stupidity in loosing the wallet doesn't justify taking something that belongs to someone. Does the stupid act of leaving your front door open mean it's ok for someone to come in and take stuff or rape your family or something. The issue is not stupidty, it's that of ownership, a person misplacing something does not negate their ownership of it, the only time it would, is when it's unidentifiable. If you find cash on the street, with no ID and so on...fine keep it, but if it belongs to someone else then it's not right to keep it.
Re: The Rant Thread
It's not right. It's just not, on any level to me. You have your outlook, I have mine. I'd return it cash and all to the best of my ability.
And i'd hope - HOPE - that one day someone would do the same.
As for me and cash, I try to carry cash, but I always carry it in my side-pocket, not my wallet. It ain't like i'm gonna lose my pants.
Put your wallet in your front pocket like I do. Problem solved.

Re: The Rant Thread
I lost my wallet few years back on a busy main road with lots of shops and people (happend to be where I lived sort of also so I knew a few of the shopkeeps). I had a panic attack when I got back home realising I was minus 1 wallet. I went back out looking around and in a few shops where I`d been, nothing, I was in a right mess..I panic at the thought of losing something even if there was fuck all in it but a few £s and some credit cards and ID etc.. I went to the post office where I know the woman there, I tell her what happend, she says, is this it.. some fucker handed it...I was gobsmacked. Before that I had never found something like that so I dont know what I`d do tbh, but I think I`d maybe have took it and run but now my outlook has changed and I`d hand it in..

Once I was sleepy enough to forget the cash in the ATM. I just took off for work without grabbing it. Wasn't much though. I was called up by my dad 3 hours later. Some guy had found my money and connected with the local bank who called my last registrated number. The guy who found it came with the money the same night. So nice.
Just fucking deliver the purse or wallet if you find one. It could be a family on their trip to some fun-lands money, it could be a couples money for their nice dinner that week. It could be anything. You don't know.
If I loose my stuff, I hope for someone like Neemo here to find it, and not James Lofton who would use it all himself and obviously throw away the wallet, which I actually got as a present from my mother in law. Everything has a value, money wise or nostalgic. It all counts.
I've never found any purses etc. Once, I found a 200 Norwegian Krone bill on the side of a street in a fair. I took that, as tracking down the owner of a dirty 200 bill is as easy as finding a needle in a haystack.

Good to see someone with their brain attached properly!
Re: The Rant Thread
Theres been a lot of "skimming" devices found on atm machines round my way for the last few months, seems to becoming a more and more common type of theft. There was one weekend in june where every cash machine in a 5 mile radious was closed until they were given the ok.
