Exact same image popped in my head lol.
Hey I dropped that. Right outside the tower - in Asakusa.
I don’t consider the “picking it up” part to be wrong, it’s what he does after.
That was probably his last act with the company.
Twice I had my gold ring returned to me when somehow it slipped off my finger; once at Walmart where someone turned it in to customer service and another at an airport.
So what if I notice this guy’s car just parked somewhere with nobody around it? He wouldn’t object to me taking it would he?
Yeah, I agree. He should have at least tried to return it to the rightful owner before deciding to keep it.
Character Is doing the right thing when only surveillance cameras are watching.
With buried gold, there is a reasonable assumption the former owner is dead and the rightful heirs unidentifiable
“I didn’t think I was doing anything wrong.” That’s because the world is so much more perverted now. Nobody is doing anything wrong except the good guys. And if it’s in a BANK BAG, you KNOW it belongs to a business or the bank.
In the OLD DAYS, when I grew up, it was common knowledge. Parents taught you this stuff. Heck, even TV taught it! There is an Andy Griffith episode where Opie finds a wallet, and he gives it back to the owner, even after the deadline passed and he spent some of it. He returned what he bought so he could return all the money.
If you find something that you KNOW is not yours
For being fifty years old this guy is dumb as a box of rocks
“I feel like if I gave it to the police, it might disappear into someone’s pocket.”
Maybe, but that’s not your fault. You did what you should.
Anyway, the usual procedure is that they take your report, give you a receipt, and if it’s not claimed in [insert your law here], you get it. (Then the gangsters find out who you are, and come for you...)
Hang him
LOL! Priceless!
The pokey for you too!
Unless you get an attitude adjustment.
Like a wood shampoo from Officer Krupke.
“Sir, that is found money and it belongs to you. Too bad for the person who dropped it. Wait. It belongs to the government. You are under arrest”
Exactly! I was behind an old lady at an ATM, and she dropped a couple twenties. She never even noticed, but it was my lucky day. /s
So, next time your car is in a public parking lot, I can just back up my tow truck, and you'll be ok with that?
wow what a lowbrow creep
funny 😉
