ATOT requires you to explain why you are not allowed in libraries.

His mom doesn't want him looking at National Geographic. Net Nanny ensures this when he is at home.

He still hasn't figured out his parent's use 1234 to lock down the cable yet.

Ya no kidding, and for you thieves, karma is a bitch.

There are no other options other than turn it in.

50% chance that the person returns and it is not in lost and found anymore or was never put there.

Yeah, cause library clerk is the go-to job for the criminal world. :roll: Give me a break. Most of them are science fiction geeks in graduate school. It would probably not even cross their mind to steal it. We're talking about a position that requires a level of responsibility way beyond that of your average fuck-up.

Anyway, I'd have no second thoughts about turning it in to the front desk. I have no desire to even own an iPod, but I know I'd be completely distraught if I had one and lost it.

I would do the owner a favor, something the owner wouldn't be able to do him/herself... send that POS back to Apple.

I am moral to a fault- I would work hard to try to find the owner. I know how I would feel if I lost something expensive.

My karma = good :)

I'm not defending thieves. They suck, but how do you know that a person finding and keeping an iPod is karma paying that person back?

I would gank that shit so fast and sell it on Ebay. Finders keepers. I've never lost something and have had it returned to me.

So you drop your wallet and the person behinds you picks it up; finders keepers?
I see it as someone misplaced their property, the only reason that i would turn it in rather than leave it is because of other thieves..... Thats just my opinion though.

Pieces of shit like you get what is coming to them. Do you ever wonder why you never get your stuff returned? Its because dipshits just like you are busy stealing them instead of returning them.

Karma? You must believe in fairy dust and pixies and the Sea God and Xenu and all sorts of crazy shit.

I was questioning your use of karma. I don't believe in karma. shit happens and good things happen independently of one another.
