I know what the guy did was wrong and if I were in his shoes, I probably would have just given it to the bar owner. But what confuses me is that everyone is using words like "stealing" and "thief" as if he committed a crime.
From my point of view, he just found something.. just like finding a hundred dollars on the street. Or finding a wallet on the ground with a big wad of cash inside. In the US, is it required by law that one must make every effort to return something to it's owner?
So, the question is, what's the difference between finding something and stealing something?
I think the real issue here is not who found it but who lost it. That ********* who lost the phone should have been sacked the next day. It was not long ago that a Foxconn employee in China also lost an iphone and look where he ended up...
