i feel i got treated unfairly.
-
yesterday i found a phone in the taxi. seeing that noone claimed it, it guessed it was lost and that it was mine. I was on the way to my friend's house. He saw the phone that i found and was very interested in it. I assumed that since noone in my family ever shown interest or needed in a phone, i promised him.
when i got back and told my parents about the hp. they were slightly disturbed by the fact that i didn't asked them first instead of promising my friend that phone. i told them that he wanted it and that they didn't shown any interest in that hp anyways, so i gave it to him.
i got very upset due to the fact how they managed this inccident. is it wrong to think of the world before my parents? they implied that no matter what, i should still seek them for their interest. i feel that being in a well average family with all the necessities and leisures covered, i feel no need that they needed anything more. whereas the outside world, who tends to be less fortunate needed the things we had. my friend may have shown interest in that phone and wanted it, but my parents downstruck values were still there, that they were utmost importance regardless anycase...
what an out-rage i feel.... -
shld report mata.
-
why didnt you think of giving it to the police, hence back to owner?
the owner may need it more than your friend or your parents. -

cause the contact book, bo home number, bo family number, all is mostly public numbers. 0_0

yeah i know what you mean man.
i dont think you should get too worked up about your parents - parents are parents. they always seem to annoy you, so just deal with it and get over it.
it's really none of their business anyway. youre probably old enough to make your own decisions. -
u indirectly stole a phone still can come and post here!!!
go do the right thing and return the phone or at least the sim card. -
The powner may call the phone.
-
nah s/he didnt steal it. it was just lying there!
and although it does piss me off when i loose my sim card... -
I don't think that is regarded as stealing as it was the owner's responsibility to take care of his own belongings and he lose his belonging and when someone else see it and take it I dun think that is consider as stealing as the person did not snatch from the owner or take it out of the owner's bag directly. Therefore the owner can only blame himself for his carelessness.

exactly!
at any rate, its a harsh life. to return a phone, would require one detouring to the station, maybe filling a report etc etc etc. which is time. why should anyone expect it? im not saying its not a nice thing and shouldnt be done, im just saying its a hard life so dont expect it.
maybe if it were a passport or something really important -
There is nothing call fair in this world...

At least return the SIm card
When i was in Ns I have lost my entire wallet b4 and i am glad that the founder at least return my 11B (although the money is gone lah)if not i will be in big trouble in camp -
your family very tork kong.
instead of chiding you for not returning the lost phone they blamed you for not giving it to them. -
actually its considered stealing.. imagine if the owner po mata. then gif the imei number to the mata. then 1 day, ur friend suay suay police screen him.. then see the hp he haf is 'stolen' 1.. at that time, he and realistic nonsense can really hong kan ready.Originally posted by thinger:nah s/he didnt steal it. it was just lying there!

Just tell me its not an n80, or I will be devastated.

In the first place, it's wrong. What's wrong with dropping it off at the police station or waiting for a call, possibly the owner?
Or being proactive and calling the numbers within.
It just goes to show the lack of morals and ethics in your upbringing.
Oh, and people who want to keep stolen goods, have more brains than to bitch about online about it.

I know if i lost my phone/ watever i'd want the person hu found it to return it.. Juz report it.. Sure u'd feel the same way if it was ur phone.. So it really wasnt urs/ur parents/ ur friend's phone to keep.Originally posted by Realistic-Nonsense:yesterday i found a phone in the taxi. seeing that noone claimed it, it guessed it was lost and that it was mine.

jeez are you serious?Originally posted by Ito_^:according to the law.
yes its a crime. and it is theft.
if its a w810i, im interested. -
The first step is already wrong wor.
U picked up a phone that is not yours, the only right thing to do is to return to the owner.
I lost my phone before, i understand how it feels to lose a phone.
I'm surprised your family members said u should seek their interest first.. I thought the first thing they should ask is how could u give someone's phone away to another person when in the frist place u din own the phone? -
You should have waited for the owner to call.
I lost my phone 3 times before, i also understand how it feels to lose a phone. -
Yes, as posted very recently, it is a crime and it shall be traced and you and the receipient shall be deemed to have committed a petty crime which makes you a criminal nontheless.
My advise is repent and return the goods now. -
jus out of plain curiousity, wat model was it?
maybe it will give us a better understanding of the monetry value of e phone..
