10%? You don't think the owner might check lost and found first?

People who keep other people's property are called Thieves. However, if there is a campus security office you should call them. Sometimes they have an actual lost and found. Seriously, keeping lost property is stealing. It is the same as taking it out of their book bag.

Wow. I hope you lose something valuable and not be able to recover it because some d!pshit thought it would be ok to keep it.

Come on, thats not so bad is it? He didn't steal it. and if no one claims it the school will probably just sell it in the second hand shop.

How exactly would he NOT be stealing it? Because somebody left it sitting out? Ok, I leave my car sitting out parked on the street one night while the driveway is being resurfaced. . .if I forget to lock it, then somebody takes it, they are not stealing it right?

Amazing that you have to come on here to ask. . .Even more amazing still how many scumbags like you there are on this forum suggesting you keep it. You know what you should do. You should turn it in. It's not yours. "Finders keepers" doesn't apply any more once you graduate from elementary school.

If its a computer lab at your school, I'd turn it in. The owner WILL come back looking for it.
I doubt he/she just decided to abandon their expensive calculator.
