What people do when they find something.

In the case of explosives? I think we will all agree, LEAVE IT!

Lost and found, lost and leave, or finders keepers — You decide

Recently, we found an android phone maybe not quite as exciting as explosives.

My husband and I found ourselves with a decision to be made while shopping. Yes, there was this android resting on some displayed shirts at Kohl’s Department Store.

What to do?

I am the sort to give the android to customer service serving as a lost and found.

My husband on the other hand thinks the person will return to the place they left it.

We cannot agree on this one so I compromise and might I add, only if he is with me.

Sorry, if you read this and it was your phone, since I compromised and left it for the owner to find it.

Last summer I lost my driver license while walking Max. A few weeks later I receive a letter from the police someone turned it in. Glad the person who picked it up does not think like my husband.

Lost dogs

My husband looks for the owner and believes the owner may be already looking for the dog. Which works sometimes.

If there is a lost dog my neighbor believes we must capture the dog and keep it until the rightful owner arrives to retrieve the dog.

For me, the logic of what to do depends, after a while, we must call the humane society so they can locate the owners. We know most of the dogs in the neighborhood but we had a situation once.

We had a situation of a lost dog and the neighbor and I ended up finding someone that knew the number for the guy at work. He came home mad at us for calling him. This is more reinforcement to call the pound. So what if the owner has to pay a fine.

Lost keys are the number one thing most people lose.

This includes me.
I have found my keys hanging in the trunk keyhole after driving around town all day,

I have also found my keys outside the front door hanging from the lock.

Once I unknowingly dropped my keys on the front lawn when I thought my neighbor was injured.

Then there is the old misplaced in the house, which no longer happens.

TIP for not losing keys

The key thing I solved by becoming obsessive upon shutting the trunk, entering the house, and they go in the same tray once inside the house.

A no-brainer on some lost items

We pull up at the dog groomers and next to my car door are prescription glasses lying on the pavement. I took them inside so the owner could retrieve them, it easy for us to decide on what to do.

Finders keepers – then sell it legally

You read that right. You can buy lost luggage and other items left on airplanes.

We visited this store while traveling across the States.

It sometimes feels like the airlines go with the old adage: Finders keepers.

Here is a link in case you want to stop in and look for something someone else lost to buy in Scottsboro, Alabama. You can follow them on Instagram.

They are constantly restocking. Airlines lose about 10,000 pieces of luggage everyday. Add it up that is almost 4 million a year. This doesn’t count the luggage and all other items people leave on the airlines.

Summary

My belief is the less time it is missing the more likely you are to get it back.

Retrieve immediately.

Words all mine ☺
