Finders Keepers
Sometimes you just can't believe people. As with the following amazing story about a guy who loses his camera, only to have a park ranger tell him that it's been found. Only to have a strange conversation with the woman who found it...
Read the blog post. The "bit of a situation" is that these people are stealing his $500 camera and related equipment. No two ways about it. They took it and they are keeping it, so far.
And that is a pretty ugly way to treat people. And a really lousy lesson for the son.
"Well," she said, "we have a bit of a situation. You see, my nine year old son found your camera, and we wanted to show him to do the right thing, so we called, but now he's been using it for a week and he really loves it and we can't bear to take it from him."A bit of a situation?
I listened, not sure where she was going with this.

It is the web, so I naturally take everything I read with an appropriately sized grain of salt...
However, if this is true, the mother needs a good whack with the clue stick. Kids are out of hand because their parents don't teach them what needs to be taught.
Yes - salt is necessary.
As one of the commenters points out, this is a good bit of self-promotion if it's not true.
What's the current internet estimated time for debunking hoaxes nowadays? Is it over a week?
I'm still working my way through all the blog comments, but I'll say this: I'm pretty sure a digital camera won't cure diabetes.
And that using stealing to make someone think they have good "luck" suggests other issues as well.
That son is probably going to grow up with such a sense of entitlement he's going to get in so much trouble...
