Quoth Part-Time Parrothead View PostActually, if it was 51% of a five dollar bill, it's still valid currency (just take it to a bank, they should change it out.) If it's 50%, then hes SOL.The Rich keep getting richer because they keep doing what it was that made them rich. Ditto the Poor.

Quoth Chazzie View PostAlthough I don't think I condone looking through a customer's wallet, I would have myself out of pure curiosity and I agree, the contents you found are... Interesting. o_o
If nobody claimed it within 30 days, it became the property of the person who found it, with the exception of items like ID, credit cards, or checks. If there was cash in there, it was yours. None of the items I ever found had cash in them, though.....

Quoth Jacen View PostOff topic buit the trouble with mobile phones is that they often don't have any kind of personal markings on it, and sometimes they don't have home, mum, dad... And how do you know which is the husband/wife/brother/sister/whatever lol.
It came in handy when I last lost my phone and the person who found it called my dad, listed as Dad in my phone, who then called me to give me this woman's number, who dropped the phone off for me at work the very same day.
On the topic of wallets, though, I recently found out that if someone loses their wallet in my store but doesn't come to retrieve it in, I think, either 48 or 72 hours everything in the wallet (and I don't know if this counts for money, which it likely does not) gets shredded.
ID, credit cards, debit cards, photos, EVERYTHING. Shredded.
While I don't get why someone would leave their wallet somewhere after we've notified them that we have it for days on end, if it was me who had left my wallet there and they shredded everything I would lose my shit.

That is why you should "ICE" those people. In my phone, hubby is #2 speed dial (voice mail come preset to #1) and I have it listed "hubby'sname-ICE". The ICE is "In Case of Emergency".
My MIL found my phone at a family event one time and brought it right to me. She said she knew it was mine as soon as she opened it because the banner says "Go Braves!" At least she knows where my allegiances lie.

Um...yeah, I'm curious about the restraining order too. Though, when considered, along side the bail bond, I've got my money on the restraining order being against the owner."God appreciates your editing" -Kes

I was just looking for his name (and hopefully phone number) so I could contact him, but as soon as I saw that bail receipt, I just couldn't help myself from rummaging around in there.
Quoth BeckySunshine View PostFor him or against him?
Update: He came back for his wallet today.
I had noticed that the bail receipt had several conditions listed, and one of those conditions was to avoid drinking alcohol or going to places that sold it. Which would include my wine shop. According to my manager, we have no legal liability for having sold him a bottle on Monday. If he'd been caught, he would have forfeited his bail and gone straight to jail without passing Go, etc. But there would be no consequences for the vendor. We can't be expected to know these things, after all.
When he came in today for his wallet, he decided to buy a bottle of wine. However, now that I know he's not supposed to be drinking, I just couldn't do it. It may well have been legal for me to sell to him, but I just didn't feel right about it.
I just looked at him and said, "Um, need I remind you that I have had your wallet and all its contents in my possession for the last 24 hours?"
It took him a few seconds, but eventually a look of realization came over his face and he left. Looking a bit embarrassed, I might add.
I'd feel badly about it, but like I said, he's been a real dick in the past.
If you have to ask, it's probably better posted at www.fratching.com

Quoth xaenon View PostA store I worked a LONG time ago had a policy that if the owner of a lost or forgotten item could not be contacted by the end of the shift, the item(s) had to be inventoried (two people present for this, one of whom had to be a manager), documented, and then everything locked in the store's safe.
If nobody claimed it within 30 days, it became the property of the person who found it, with the exception of items like ID, credit cards, or checks. If there was cash in there, it was yours. None of the items I ever found had cash in them, though.....

Right before Christmas some guy left a wallet with $400+ in it. I looked in it and found his ID and looked his number up. It took him FOUR days to come back in for it. When I talked to him on the phone he said he lived an hour away and didnt wish to go back out that night. He said he would be back in for it the next day. If it had been me I would have came right back even if I was 3 hours away!
