If you found my missing wallet, would you help yourself to the last $1 in it before returning the wallet to me? Why or why not?
Absolutely not. Every cent in your wallet is your property. I lost a wallet once, as a student (which should have been obvious from my student ID and driver's license) and the person took all my cash (about $50) plus my bus card.
I had actually lost my purse, and they took the entire thing. The wallet eventually got dropped into the mail, though I am guessing by someone more honest. I actually had to pay the post office to get my wallet back, which meant borrowing money from someone.
If I found someone's wallet, I would return it completely intact, and if I couldn't reach them on the phone, I would pay for the wallet to be shipped. Dropping it into the mail loose (they return it to the address of the driver's license) means a greedy postal employee can help themselves to its contents, and I know the person is already having a terrible day, so I would want them to have it back with everything still in it. People are horrible, and I think it's worth a few bucks to do a good deed for someone.
No, I would save the last dollar and everything else in it for you. I've lost my wallet and it was like losing my life. The person that had it got caught shoplifting at JCPenney and used it as ID.
She even had the same color hair and eyes that I have. It was a huge mess, got all sorts of unwanted things in the mail, including traffic warrants in another county. I hang on to my wallet now and never carry my social security card in it.
I'd never even consider a thing like that. Why? First of all, the obvious: it's stealing.Period.
That $1 belongs to you, not me, and if I'm giving you back your wallet, I'm ostensibly doing you a favor. For you to discover that I went behind your back would be hurtful, to say the least. It's not just theft, but a betrayal, so it's doubly wrong.(And the details mention lying, so that makes it triply wrong.) And then it's such a petty theft, too.
It's a dollar! It can't buy much of anything! If I'm so poor that a dollar is a large sum of money, then I'm rather out of the bounds of this conundrum.
Sorry to hear this happened to you.
I definitely wouldn't touch the money. The bottom line is that it comes down to ethics. However, I also wouldn't consider a single dollar to be any kind of actual gain.
Nothing to gain; lots to lose (if you steal it). Why would anyone ever consider it?
No! Did this actually happen to you? If so, wow.As for why I would not do this: the $1 does not belong to me so I would not take it, and furthermore, I don't need it anyway.
It's just a dollar! I would let you know how much money was in it when I found it though so you didn't think I stole everything but the dollar.
No I would not take it. 1) It is a tacky thing to do 2) It is an unethical thing to do.
Simple questions like these may help. If you know there's a slim chance of finding it, or if your wallet was stolen, proceed to the next step. Make calls to places you've gone recently (since you last saw your wallet) including restaurants, theaters, and the like and ask if they have a lost wallet.
They will need a description. Usually the name on an ID or a specific member's card will do. Even larger places, like malls, have lost-and-found offices or security centers.
Don't assume that the movie theater or other business would call you. Some businesses do not make calls due to concerns that it might disclose the fact that you were somewhere or with someone that you do not want made known. 2Always assume the wallet is stolen.
If you can't find the wallet within a few hours, someone else might, and you don't know if that person will return it to you. When it comes to your identity, credit cards, and bank accounts, you're better off safe than sorry. The maximum time you will want to wait is 24 hours as, for many companies, there are deadlines for reporting lost cards.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
