What Would you do if you Found an I-Pod Touch?

You should put up a piece of paper or two around the area you found it. If you found it at a club, start there.

If you found it at a store, start there.

etc. etc...

The real owner should be able to unlock it, right?

And why does DK get to use anecdotes left and right but when I do it, he throws it out as unbelievable? (Despite his being more over-the-top.) I guess it doesn't really matter. DK needs stuff to complain about.

Because you're black.

Keep in mind I did not steal the I-Pod, I found it should it be a case of finders keepers?

You might as well keep it or pawn it. If you call the police and say "I'd like to report a missing i-pod.", they're just gonna laugh at you.

keep it

i scammed bestbuy out of a 60 gig for 70 bucks

its on them if they're stupid enough to lose it

I would.

In the UKL the answer would be simple... hand it in to the police.. they will take your name and address, and if the item is not claimed within 4 weeks, title passes to the finder, and the Police hand it over to you.. if the owner does claim it, and money is more important to you than right or wrong, you are legally entitled to a finders fee of not less than 16% of the value of the item.. alternatively you can keep the item.. you then become guilty of the crime of "Stealing-by-finding" which can carry a sentence of one year in prison... basicaly put, its not yours... you have no title as we say over here, and you should hand it in...

I would keep it and use it as my own for about a month. If i did not hear or see any type of postings about a lost ipod touch i would then sell it because i already have one. I would be more than willing to help out the person that lost the ipod in returning it. I would not actively pursue finding the owner though. Not only would it invite many false claims it could evolve into a headache, battling over someone who claims the ipod is theirs but really isn't.

Now, if the ipod had some pictures, that is a different story. If there were infact personal pictures in the ipod, i might attempt paying for a post in the local paper.

A lot of police stations have a policy where if something isn't claimed in a certain time period, it returns to the person that found it.

So you can probably be altruistic and potentially selfish at the same time.

This is the best option imo.

😎

If there was a way of getting it back to the owner, then I would return it. Otherwise I would keep it.

I'd sell it and keep the money.

Me love the Ipod.. My pocket love the ipod..

And I would just keep it. I killed my inner voice a while ago.

Keep it. But, then again, even I would admit that I should not be the go-to guy on morality issues.

I think he should drink on it fer awhile and then decide

Connect it to the pc(or mac) and see what the person named hior her ipod and then look him up. if that dont work sell it and keep the cash

Nah, different type of anecdotes. DDM used to use them to prove his point in an unrelated debate, DK illustrated what he'd done in a similar situation after being asked for advice.

DDM:
Some story -> DDM's anectdote -> Therefore DDMs point is absolutely true (in his mind)

DK:
Advice question -> DK's anecdote -> Therefore DK would do that in such a situation and advises to do the same.

Seems obvious, too.
