I found this very funny.
Back story: At the Rec Center, whenever people leave behind their own balls and we, the staff, find it, we hold onto it in the hopes that the person will return looking for their lost ball. After so long, at least several weeks, we might use the forgotten ball as our own to rent out to patrons.
Last night at the Field House, a patron came up to the front desk excited that he finally found his ball. He said that a long time before he had lost it and assumed someone just stole it. The ball in question was clearly not one of our average basketballs and it did still have the visible remnants of the patrons last name, which was nowhere near common. I just let him take it since it was most likely really his anyway.
I'm surprised he didn't try to blame us for stealing his ball, which we kinda did, but only after he failed to even attempt to look for his basketball.
