[QUOTE="snapsalot, post: 1418630, member: 37085"]Chris while I too feel morally that returning stolen property is the right thing to do and if in a situation where I find stolen property and know its stolen I would return the goods without thought, I do feel you are not considering something. Because of peoples greed 99 times out of 100 if you go to the police to find out if a theft of a similar item has occurred and it has not you will be asked to leave the goods there for 30-90 days then if it is not claimed you may claim it for yourself. A big problem though is almost every time someone will catch wind of the valuable possibly being stolen the someone will come in falsely claiming it was stolen from him and taking it for themselves. If someone drops some money as they walk by I pick it up and run them down to give it back. If someone loses their wallet and it has their ID inside I go to their house and give it back (or call them if i find their number). But if I find a random bag of quarters, unmarked in a random field that nobody has been to for as far as i can tell a long time, well, I am keeping it.[/QUOTE]
