A moral question...NTR

MyOwnLady · June 2011

Ok, so I was just at a store, and they have carts with bags on them, and kid seats in the front. Anyway, we got to the store, put Aditya in the front, and was going to put my diaper bag in the shopping bag. I noticed a camera thing in there. I turned it over to a store employee. Later, as I was telling a friend, she said I should have kept it. Just out of curiosity, not judging anyone, what would you have done? Part of me wishes I would have kept it, because it was a really nice one, but then I know when I've lost stuff, I've been REALLY grateful when some honest person turned it in....

Turned it in. Found a wallet at the zoo a couple weeks ago and gave it to an employee near by. Looked like a young persons wallet but hope they got it back. It sucks to lose stuff!

groovygrl · June 2011

Yeah I wouldve turned it in too. It's different if you're in a parking lot or on the street or something, but in a store, someone might come back to get it.

Jennicap · June 2011

turn it in I loose crap all the time!

simplyatomic · June 2011

Depends, I would have turned it in if I noticed it like you had. But once I found a camera thought it was mine and stuffed it in my purse. It was three days before I figured out it wasnt mine. Luckily the people had left their number at the store and I was able to return it. It really sucks to lose things like that.

I turn in everything! I have lost stuff and been so thankful that a good soul turned it in! Can you imagine if your baby's first pictures were on that camera??!!

Just remember...Karma knows all!

This.

Definitely would have turned it in.

lil_rhody · June 2011

Turned it in. If not, the guilt would have eaten me alive.

penguingrrl · June 2011

I would have turned it in. If I lost my camera I'd be so upset since it's full of pictures of my kids, so I would hope someone would be as honest as I was.

greengirl0909 · June 2011

I lost a camera once...even more than the camera, I was really bummed about losing the pictures. I would've turned it in.

yunk11 · June 2011

I would have turned it in. It would have eaten away at me to keep it. Plus, I always imagine those hidden camera TV shows (you know the ones that set up a moral situation to see what people do). It wouldn't be fun to have to try and explain yourself to a national audience!

I turn everything in....I once found a watch in the shopping cart at the grocery store and turned it in to Customer Service.

My mom left her purse in a shopping cart in the parking lot of Costco....she didn't realize it until she got home. She went back and someone turned it in to Customer Service....with EVERYTHING still in it...she was very grateful of course.

I have had people at Dunkin Donuts give me change for a $20 bill if I paid with a $5 bill and I tell them of the mistake and they are very grateful.

I think being honest is best.

lemonJAM · June 2011

I would have definitely turned it in.

dragon_chica · June 2011

I would've turned it in AND question how much value I should put into a friend that wouldn't have any problems taking something that isn't theirs.

Que*Syrah · June 2011

Anyone who would keep it is a total moron.

I'd turn it in. and I've been wondering, how do you pronounce your DS's name?

I'm not usually one to get on my high horse about things, but I agree with this. I cannot imagine any of my friends thinking that it would be okay to keep something like this. This is a level of dishonesty far beyond little white lies or sneaking a soda into a movie theater. The fact that she was so comfortable with the idea of keeping something that wasn't hers would make me question what else she is comfortable with.

g8trkim · June 2011

Definitely would have turned it in. I would not even think twice.

Ciconrad · June 2011

Definitely turn it in. Karma's a b!tch.

realisticdreams · June 2011

I found a SWEETTTTT smartphone (motorola or android or something, lol) and I turned it in at Walmart.

DH was like whatt you should have kept it. The thought of keeping it, had never even crossed my mind.

It was, oh..

lost phone, must take to customer service, lol.

SINCE THEN. I left my purse in ER triage at VCU, my phone in the Target dressing room & Walmart bathroom & my wallet at dh's urologist. ALL of them were turned in & I was so grateful.

I'd like to think i'm still living off good luck from that $600 phone lol.

ohfour · June 2011

I would have turned it in. Just because someone left their belonging somewhere doesn't give someone free reign to just take it, IMO. It doesn't belong to you, you take it, you're stealing bottom line.

I once found five $100 bills that someone had dropped at a store and turned them in.

You probably made someone's day/week/month with that good deed.

sunnyday016 · June 2011

Turn it in.

+diana82+ · June 2011

I would have turned it in. I left a wallet in the grocery store cart one time. Called the store - nothing. Went back to look for it - nothing. Went and put all my cards on hold (a cute trick considering I hadn't used half of them in YEARS and needed to go through all kinds of hoops to get in in the first place).

The next day, I got a phone call from someone who found it. They had found it on the side of the road so some kids must have grabbed it looking for money and then pitched it out after going through it. I had no cash, so nothing was taken except my pocket change.

JulesDiane · June 2011

Absolutely I would have turned it in. I would like to think that others would have turned it in if it was my camera. It's also about setting a good example for your kids.

SugarBrideOct10 · June 2011

I always turn in everyting that I find, although karma NEVER pays me back!! One day I found a $20 on the ocunter of a coffee shop - turned it in. The next day I put a $20 in my pocket because I was going on a walk for ice cream, and the money fell out of my pocket, gone forever. I was soooo pi$$ed!

NewFamily09 · June 2011

Oh gosh, I'd definitely turn it in. I can't bring myself to take stuff like that, because if I lost something I would be so disappointed if someone stole it. This actually happened to DH recently. He was at home depot and bought a $20 box of screws. He was walking out to the car and they fell off his cart, but didn't realize it. As he was pulling the car out, he saw a guy pick up a box of screws off the ground and keep them. He didn't make the connection that the box was his until a few seconds later when he checked his bag. But by the time he got back to the store, the guy was gone. He went into home depot and asked to make sure the guy hadn't brought it back in. They said he hadn't, but the people at home depot were really nice and gave him another box for free.
