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...

"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."

I listened, not sure where she was going with this.
A bit of a situation?

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.
