I’ve lost things before because I was careless. I’m not holding some vandetta against the person that found it. [/quote]
No one is saying the guy who lost it is super intellect who needs his cell phone, we’re simply saying the OP’s a dick for not even trying to return it.

What if the guy who lost the phone was a complete asshole who deserved it, and his buddy who is out of a phone did some good deeds, and this is the universe’s way of paying him back.
Huh?
Good point. Or maybe the OP did something good to deserve finding a phone.
Losing a phone sucks, but it’s usually the original owner’s fault for losing it. [/quote]
Lol, that’s called justification and it’s one of the elements that is always involved when theft occurs. It’s a way to rationalize why it’s right to do the wrong thing.
Good for you, slugger.
And FTR, I don’t pretend to be a saint, I’ve done my fair share of wrong things in my time. But that doesn’t make the OP any less of a dick.

My first post was a sarcastic way of saying that was a shitty thing to do by the op. It’s a cell phone and not murder so in the big scheme of things no one gets hurt, but as far as my own standards go if something like a cell phone is found my first impulse is to find a way to return it to the owner.
I would hope if I being the imperfect person I am lost my phone a decent person with standards would find it and try to return it to me. I personally just don’t care for sociopaths who’s first impulse is to burn another person.
see there is a chance that the person who lost the phone was a really hot chick who would have repaid you returning it by sucking your cock. Unfortunately, you will never know if that was the case.

I totally agree. I would try to return something lost to it’s owner and would hope the same thing be done for me. My point is the owner has a responsibility to not lose their belongings and if they do so they should be prepared to not get them back.
My one exception was when this girl left her iTouch at the Bar and the boyfriend called it. He started yelling at us calling us mother fuckers and threatening us because we “stole” her phone when in fact we were trying to return it. My buddy just told the guy to fuck off, and sold the phone on ebay for like 150 lol.

If you drop your cell phone in the toilet, does the toilet say “Sorry about that buddy, let me get you a new one.”
fucking asshole thing to do, a couple of years ago I remember purchasing a blackberry pearl when they first came out, had a function got 5 girls numbers then went to the casino. I was pretty drunk and must of left my phone on the table(playing roulette) I tried calling my phone as soon as I got home and it was turned off, I left a message asking the person to call my home number, never heard back.
I believe in karma, it may not be for a decade but eventually you’ll cop something a lot worse
