goldenbrwn1 Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Yesterday I was with the mrs in Tesco Lotus and there was a mad rush of people buying school uniforms and shoes. As I wondered through I noticed an iPhone ( i7-8) on a shoe box. Lots of people were picking up shoes around it but not the phone and walking off. They def saw the phone ....so I picked it up and asked if it was anyone’s??? One lady said yes it’s mine ... I looked at her and she was talking on her ( other) mobile ... I looked at her suspiciously and letting her know I was . She then said no sorry it’s not hers . ?. I took it to customer service and carried on shopping . After shopping and checkout , I was called over by the customer service staff and a lady came forward saying thank you. I’m no angel but I’m old enough now to beleive in some sort of karma. But I’m not so sure about the people shopping around the iPhone that day .. I get the feeling they were waiting for the right moment. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Driving 5Km with it seems either 'dense' or 'suspicious'. He took it to a nearby headman who was his relative. Why is that suspicious? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aussieroaming Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Find the owner preferrably (did that in the past) if i cant find the owner then leave it to the police. Not my issue if they are decent or corrupt. I can only do what is right at the time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickTik Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 (edited) No doubt - return it to the owner with everything intact. However, depending on the circumstances, and if there was cash in the wallet - maybe a 20% Finders Fee. Remember, we are all teachers and we are all students. .
