It figures

[hardnox71]

You know how sometimes you walk down the street and think to yourself, "Damn, it would be nice to find a wallet right about now!"? Well, last night I did!

I'm blading across North Ave. (a pretty bust street on the north side of Chicago) and I'm dodging traffic when I see it laying there. It threw me off so hard I damned near got hit by a fucking car but I didn't care. Know why. BECAUSE I FOUND A WALLET!!!!

OH, HAPPY HAPPY, JOY JOY, HAPPY HAPPY, JOY JOY!! OH, HAPPY DAY!! WHAT I GLORIOUS TIME TO BE ALIVE!!! THE SKIES ARE BLUER, THE GRASS IS GREENER AND THE BIRDS ARE SINGING LOUDER. ALL IS RIGHT IN THE WORLD. WHY? BECAUSE I FOUND A WALLET!!!!

So, I zip back out in the street to grab it and as I get closer my eyes gaze upon two of the most beautiful letters in the enitre alphabet.

LV

Louis Vuitton.


OH, HAPPY HAPPY, JOY JOY, HAPPY HAPPY, JOY JOY!!! You know the rest.

Louis Vuitton. Hot Damn!! You're thinking CHA-CHING!, right? Yeah, so was I! I pick the wallet up and it's about three inches thick. I'm so excited by now I'm starting to hyperventilate. I'm about to pass out at stack of cash I am about to feast my eyes upon.

I open the wallet and look inside and what do I see?

CREDIT CARDS!! A BUNCH OF LOUSY FUCKING CREDIT CARDS!!!

Not one lousy dollar bill. Credit cards, ID, business cards, Starbucks card (the yuppie fuck) but not one damn dime.

I'm still pissed. I still have the wallet. An associate of mine relieved it of all of its contents. I don't fuck with credit cards so he was welcome to them. I'm a cash only business.

You're probably wondering why I didn't be a good little Boy Scout and try to unite the wallet with it's owner. I'm not spending the next two days trying to track down some yuppie schmuck from Arlington Heights (a suburb way outside of Chicago.) I'm not an extremely busy person but I sure don't have time for that shit. Fuck him.

Find a wallet. No cash.

It figures.

[Helvete]

So you would have taken the money if there was any there?

[hardnox71]

Would I what?


I don't know what the fuck you just said but it's not a hard concept to figure out. If there was any cash in the wallet it would have become mine. Plain and simple.

[yooooo]

Sell the wallet.

What are you, like, twelve?

You sound like an honest person.

[Tone Capone]

SELL THE WALLET!!!!! :mad:

[hardnox71]

What are you, like, twelve?
No, I'm not. Why do you ask? Are you into little boys?

[hardnox71]

SELL THE WALLET!!!!! :mad:
I'm gonna. It's damned near brand new and I'm not into the who designer label thing so I don't want it.


Hey, uh, Tone.....wanna buy a wallet? Cheap.

[hardnox71]

You sound like an honest person.
Judge ye not.........

[Tone Capone]

I'm gonna. It's damned near brand new and I'm not into the who designer label thing so I don't want it.

If it's black and has a thing that folds up and shows ID. Those are the kind I buy... and it's gotta be leather.

[jackrock]

If it's brown and says "Bad Mother Fucker" on it, it's mine.

[yooooo]

hey man give it back, yer goin to hell:mad: :mad:

[Bob]

i dunno what i'd do if i was in hardox's situation, but the truth is that if i were in the yuppie guy's situation (i've lost my wallet somewhere on the streets of chicago), iiiiiii'm not expecting that wallet back any time soon

[hardnox71]

If it's brown and says "Bad Mother Fucker" on it, it's mine.
Yeah, that's the newest line from Louis Vuitton in men's accessories, 'Bad Mother Fucker'.

Company reps expect it to do very well this holiday season. :D :D

I not gonna lie. I definitely would have kept the cash. Like I said, I don't fuck with credit cards. There is too much time behind credit card fraud. But the guy had gold cards, platinum cards, a shiny metallic credit card (don't know what the fuck it was but it looked really cool, like something they give only to people with unlimited credit). If this guy had lost his wallet in Beverly Hills he wouldn't have gotten it back, he had so many damned credit cards.

[Yorkshire~Rose]

Hardnox you are very naughty taking that wallet. But seeing as i like you i can't stay mad at you for long. :D

I once found a purse in the back of a taxi. My friend and i were 3 sheets to the wind (i.e rather drunk) and we took a £10 note from it.

I felt very guilty afterwards but it was a very skanky looking purse. Lots of beads and shit on it.

[HOTWIFE]

Now I see why you're always getting yourself into trouble. I could never find someone's wallet and feel right about taking anything out of it and not returning it to the owner. But that's just me. Karma's a bitch!

[ericlee]

Yeah, that's the newest line from Louis Vuitton in men's accessories, 'Bad Mother Fucker'.

fcuk hasn't thought of "Bad Mother Fcuker" yet?

[ScarySquirrel]

I'm going to Arlington Heights next weekend. It should be a good time. I hope to hang out with a bunch of yuppies and drive some Lexus cars.

[hardnox71]

Hardnox you are very naughty taking that wallet. But seeing as i like you i can't stay mad at you for long. :D

I didn't take it. It was laying in the middle of the street. I found it. No, I rescued it from being smashed by the vicious cars, is what I did!!;)


Now I see why you're always getting yourself into trouble. I could never find someone's wallet and feel right about taking anything out of it and not returning it to the owner. But that's just me. Karma's a bitch!
And that's why you are you and I am me. For the record, I didn't take shit out of the wallet. My associate did. Do you have any idea how much shit I find? In the last three weeks alone I have found four cell phones, a gold chain and a gold Citizen watch. It's not my job to run around being the official 'Lost and Found' of Chicago. Maybe it should be other peoples job to hang onto their shit. And, yes, she is a bitch. Your point is?

I can't recall ever being in Arlington Heights so I can't tell you what it's like.

[ScarySquirrel]

I can't recall ever being in Arlington Heights so I can't tell you what it's like.
I was there last year for the same reason. Lexus holds this same event (apparently) every year and I somehow get invited.

Arlighton Heights isn't as much of suburbia as you'd originally think it would be for being so far out of Chicago, but it's definitely a far cry from the atmosphere of downtown. There are a few of those picture perfect movie scene neighborhoods I managed to find while I got lost for a little bit though. Oh, and some bomb ass houses as well. Like, gated community with only six or seven total houses in there type ish.

I think I'm going to be making a stop downtown on my way in and out though just so I can check some cool shit out. Chicago is one of my favorite cities of all time, man.

[hardnox71]

I'm sure Arlington Heights is nice, I'm sure. I've always known it's money out there.

Chicago in the summer is off the hook, Scary. You're catching the tail end of it but it's still warm here and there is still plenty to do. Have a good time and enjoy yourself in our fair city.

[HOTWIFE]

Yeah and letting your associate take this person's credit cards is of no blame to you, right? A wallet's a little different than a cell phone or a watch. It takes a minute to drop off the wallet at a police station, or make a call using the person's information. I can't stand people like you dude, seriously.

[fucktopgirl]

I think you did a wrong move by not sending back the wallet!
And for taking the credit card, another silly move as for cash money this is another story. I , for myself, would maybe take money in a wallet depending if it seem to be a rich person or not. BUt i would definetely give back the wallet to the person and not touch the credit card.


If you lose your wallet one day and somebody would find it, would you like them to send it back to you and prevent all the assles to cancel and making new cards???

KArma man!

[Schmeltz]

My wallet was lifted out of my backpack at work a couple of weeks ago. It had no cash in it, but it did have my bank and credit cards, and all my ID, which I had to have cancelled and replaced. I'm willing to bet my wallet got ditched when the thief realized it had no money in it, so either it's sitting in the garbage somewhere or some asshole just like you decided to be a real smooth thug and turn it over to some lowlife criminal.

Fuck you, dude. People like you are part of the problem. I hope it comes around and bites you in the ass.

[HAL 9000]

Nevermind - post was far too condescending

[ericlee]

Honestly, for every action I do such as this, I put myself in the other person's shoes and think how I'd react if I knew that I had to cancel all of my credit cards...

Oh wait, I don't even have any credit cards. I totally would never own any credit cards.. But then again, I always have cash in my wallet.

If the wallet had cash and I found it, I would take all the cash and then put the wallet on the steps of a police station. If it were nothing but credit cards, I would just take it to the police station without even tampering with it. If may pay off with a reward or it might not but I'll still go home with a clear conscience about it.

The guy may be some rich yuppie but, you never know how he became that way. Just because he's rich doesn't mean everything was handed to him on a silver platter by his parents. He may have come from rags and worked his ass off to achieve that status and therefore, I respect that.

[King PSYZ]

everyone who says "I would never take that money it belongs to someone else..." is full of horse shit.

if you were strapped for cash, and most likely even if you weren't... and stumbled upon a wallet full of cash you know you'd take it and probablly would never tell a soul.

facts are, if you loose a wallet consider it's contents gone. if he had just left it there someone else would have taken it and had he retunred it he would have gone three days out of his way for some random schmoo who would probablly say something to the effect of fuckit I cancelled all the cards and then send the 5-0 over for some 20 questions.

[fucktopgirl]

While there is no such thing as Karma in terms of a force of retribution


YOU mean?

[Bob]

facts are, if you loose a wallet consider it's contents gone.

that's what i'm saying, yeah. i guess it's just rationalizing, i dunno, but if you lose your wallet, you really shouldn't expect it to come back to you.

kinda messed up to turn over the credit cards like that though. i wouldn't have done that

[HAL 9000]

YOU mean?

I mean that there is no magical force of justice that punishes the cruel and rewards the kind hearted.

[fucktopgirl]

I mean that there is no magical force of justice that punishes the cruel and rewards the kind hearted.

I think so...maybe not a "magical force" but i kindly believe that a balance occur in this univers and people that act without consideration for others being will get pin in the ass later on and vice versa.

you attract/get what you do/give.

what about everyone who died in katrina, or those monsoons that wiped out all those people in southeast asia? did they do something to deserve it? every last one of them?

i remember the dalai lama saying that they did (acts in a past life, perhaps), but i don't know, it doesn't seem too fair to me. i'm more with HAL. retribution exists, but when it happens it's something that happens logically. doesn't always work of course.

[fucktopgirl]

[QUOTE=Bob]what about everyone who died in katrina, or those monsoons that wiped out all those people in southeast asia? did they do something to deserve it? every last one of them?

Well this is more karma at a large scale,,,we fucked this mother earth and she get back at us and too it is not being at the right place at the right moment.

[zorra_chiflada]

i would have handed in, and i expect anyone to have found a lost wallet of mine to hand it in as well.

[sercomdj01]

You give a ritch guy a wallet back you get a reward maybe???

[yooooo]

good point

[synch]

You lot are completely missing the point of this thread.

This thread is about how inconsiderate that man was for not having any cash on him so the hero of our little story could have gotten some money out of this instead of just a thread on the beasties board and the admiration of his peers.

[hardnox71]

The only time I walk into a police station is when I'm cuffed. That's it. Not for any other reason.

btw-I won't be able to sleep tonight, HOTWIFE, knowing you can't stand people like me. :(


If you lose your wallet one day and somebody would find it, would you like them to send it back to you and prevent all the assles to cancel and making new cards???

KArma man!
First of all, I don't carry a wallet for this exact reason we're discussing right now. If you lose it, then you've lost everything in it. But if I did carry one, lost it and it was returned to me, I have no idea what was done with it while it was gone, so I'm cancelling and replacing all of my cards any fucking way. If you don't you're a moron.


so either it's sitting in the garbage somewhere or some asshole just like you decided to be a real smooth thug and turn it over to some lowlife criminal.

Fuck you, dude. People like you are part of the problem. I hope it comes around and bites you in the ass.
How does finding a wallet and not giving a shit enough to track down the drunk yuppie schmuck who lost it make me a 'smooth thug'? And 'people like me' are a part of what problem, other people being drunk or careless and losing their shit? Prey tell, how am I a part of that problem?

Please, go ahead. I'm all ears.


everyone who says "I would never take that money it belongs to someone else..." is full of horse shit.

Exactly. Thank you, King.


You give a ritch guy a wallet back you get a reward maybe???
And spend two days tracking down this mope just to hear, "Oh, thanks, man, but it was all for naught."
I'll pass.


You lot are completely missing the point of this thread.

This thread is about how inconsiderate that man was for not having any cash on him so the hero of our little story could have gotten some money out of this instead of just a thread on the beasties board and the admiration of his peers.
EXACTLY!!! That is the entire point of the thread. 'Find a wallet. No cash.' That's exactly it. Boy, you're quick, synch. And I couldn't give a fuck about the admiration of my peers. I don't live my life to please others. If you don't know that about me by now then you haven't been paying attention.


btw-Last night, I found two debit cards in two seperate locations. One belonging to a Holly W. Metzger and one belonging to a Debra L. Schwartz. See what I mean about how much shit I find? I guess I'm suppose to run around trying to track them down, too, right? Fuck that shit. I snapped the cards in half rendering them useless. I shouldn't be blamed for other people carelessness. That's not my fucking fault.

[DandyFop]

I guess you're completely blind to what a dickhead you are eh?

This is one of the aspects that is nice when living in Salt Lake. I have lost my wallet a few times, and every time except once someone took the time to return it to me. You know why? They thought to themselves "Wow, if I lost my wallet, it'd be sweet if someone returned it". I wouldn't blame you for snapping the cards in half, because if you don't have their info to return it, then there's no point. But giving the credit cards to your "associate" and still acting like you did nothing wrong is complete BULLSHIT. But whatever you always talk about being a hardass and doing stupid shit that's going to get you thrown in jail, so if you want to be an even further idiot and come here to talk about it, that's your thing.

[Lyman Zerga]

no, i wouldnt take money out of a lost wallet

cause i dont wanna sell my soul for a o-town cd
or maybe i would?
anytime i listened to it i would think to myself was it really worth it?
then lean back and say fuck yeah!

[vickista]

i found $200 bucks cash on the ground, and some indonesian money, it was pretty kool, it was just lying there and my mum said she would of handed it in if there was like a wallet, credit cards or an id but there wasnt, so we kept it. Man christmas was good that year:D

[befsquire]

it's easy to think "i'd do the right thing and turn the wallet in" when you're reading a post in a thread. it's a much different thing to be in the middle of chicago and find it.

if i found a louis vuitton wallet, in good condition, and it wasn't fake, it'd be mine now.

i wouldn't use or give away the cards, even though i know that at worst, the guy is only responsible for $50 per card (and if he's got platinum shit, it's probably the equivalent of a dime to him).

[QueenAdrock]

everyone who says "I would never take that money it belongs to someone else..." is full of horse shit.

if you were strapped for cash, and most likely even if you weren't... and stumbled upon a wallet full of cash you know you'd take it and probablly would never tell a soul.

...Just because it may apply to you, REALLY doesn't mean it applies to everyone else. I'm not full of horse shit when I say that I would return it. I know what it's like to lose something that I love, and how terrible I feel when I do. I know how happy I'd be if it was ever returned to me. I've returned wallets - with cash - to their owners before, and I wouldn't hesitate it to do it again.

If it was a wallet full of cash and no ID, I'd probably be like "SHIT YEAH!" but if I saw someone's smiling face looking on in a form of a driver's license, I couldn't and wouldn't do it.

Plus, most of the time you get a reward for being a good samaritan. And if not, being a good person makes me feel better about myself. Like it'll somehow make up for me going to hell in other ways. :)

[ggirlballa]

if u live in the hood u would take it, if u live in the suburbs then u wouldn't take it

hehehe

what if they were ugly? like really ugly. or what if they weren't smiling? what if you look at the picture and you can tell immediately that this guy's just a compelete jerk-off and even returning his wallet to him would be more interaction than you could handle

i'll say this for myself: i don't know what i'd do for sure if i found a wallet. but IF it had cash and i were to return it as is, it wouldn't be because i feel like doing the right thing, i'd just be too paranoid about getting caught, truth be told. i definitely wouldn't do anything dishonest with credit cards or personal ID or anything like that, but i'm gonna be honest, i wouldn't feel too bad about taking the cash. i could use the money, if you must know.

i wouldn't wanna go out of my way to find the person or anything if they don't have any address in the wallet...i'd maybe turn it over to the police at best

[QueenAdrock]

And also, what if I knew them and they were an enemy? Sure, I'd take it if it was a jerkoff I knew from school.

But even if they looked like a hardass or something, I'd still turn it in. Like I said, my conscious couldn't handle knowing that the wallet could have been easily returned to the person but I decided to keep it. It's just how I was raised. My mom was devestated when she lost her wedding ring once, and I remember how incredibly happy she was when it was returned. Sure, I don't know how much that guy's wallet would mean to him (not to mention if it had pictures of their family, or ticket stubs or other sentimental stuff), but I'd rather just give it back to him.

I accidentally lost a CD wallet when I was at University of Maryland. It had the third CD from Tibetan Freedom (I paid 30 fucking dollars for that collection and it was my favorite CD), which had my favorite version of Root Down on it. I was pretty fucking upset because some jerkoff has it now. And my name was labeled on the inside. I hope his CD player breaks.

wow i get more up-set if i lose any of my cd's rather than money

[QueenAdrock]

At the time, I really didn't care, actually. I was just like "Huh. They're gone." And then the next day I was like :mad: :mad: :mad:. I think it was because I was in shock the night before.

Now whenever I see a CD case and think "What a good fucking CD. I wonder where I put it..." I remember "Oh yeah. Fuckers." :mad:

I knew where I lost it too. It was when I got out of my car, I must have accidentally knocked the wallet out. I went back there, GONE. :mad:

[Schmeltz]

How does finding a wallet and not giving a shit enough to track down the drunk yuppie schmuck who lost it


You don't have to track down anyone, you idiot. Turn it in to the cops. You don't even have to go to the station (and by the way, the fact that you only enter one when you're cuffed ought to tell you which problem you're a part of). Shit, look the dude up in the phone book, call him, and tell him to come to your house and get his wallet. It really isn't that difficult to do.

Turning ID and credit cards over to some piece of shit hood and then whining because you didn't profit adequately from somebody else's misfortune is pretty fucking low, man. I hope the cops knock out a few of your teeth next time you're cuffed for being such a badass.


if i found a louis vuitton wallet, in good condition, and it wasn't fake, it'd be mine now.


Well, I'd hardly expect any different from a lawyer.

As for me: I once lost a paycheque earmarked for my rent and bills, and the next day a very nice lady stopped by with it, said she'd found it on the street and figured I probably needed it. She went out of her way to help me out and I was really impressed - enough that I know I would do the same if I chanced upon someone else's stuff. I guarantee it. I don't expect everybody else to do the same, but I know a lowlife when I see one and I call a spade a spade.

[Documad]

I have returned purses and cell phones and a PDA to people. I don't return cash cards and credit cards when I find them lying around in public. I call the 800 number on the back and report it to the issuing company instead.

I even found a $100 bill on the floor at Target and turned it into the Target service desk. They wrote my name down and a month later when no one came in asking about a lost $100 bill Target gave it to me.

I also tell cashiers when they give me too much change or forget to charge me for something.

That's how my parents raised me I guess.

Last time I was in Manhattan, my cabbie was trying to find the owner of a blackberry he found in his cab. While he was driving me from the airport to my hotel, he reached the owner's husband because he was programmed into the phone part. About a month later, one of my friends lost his blackberry in a cab and the cabbie tracked him down too.

[befsquire]

Well, I'd hardly expect any different from a lawyer.

that hurts so bad, coming from a guy who's been banned many times for being a dick.

[zorra_chiflada]

i wouldn't feel right, receiving money from someone else's loss. the guilt would really get to me, no matter what it was.

[The Notorious LOL]

I found a wallet when I was 15 on my way to work that had about $100 in it in cash. I mailed it back to dude subtracting the cost of postage. He sent me back $20 for my efforts.


I got busted smoking that day, so it redeemed me in my parents eyes and I went unpunished.



Im a total asshole but I couldnt keep someones wallet. Id instantly gravitate towards a mental image of a family of crying ass unfed kids who wont be eating cuz "dads wallet was lost"

[Schmeltz]

that hurts so bad, coming from a guy who's been banned many times for being a dick.


What? I've never been banned.

[Documad]

It's not fair to judge everyone in a profession because of an off-hand comment that one person said on a message board. I'm a lawyer and "finders keepers" is not my motto. In fact, lawyers are expected to live by higher ethical standards than non-lawyers. I frankly don't believe that Beth would keep a wallet that had ID in it.

[Schmeltz]

I would like to thank Documad for explaining the punchline.

[befsquire]

I also tell cashiers when they give me too much change or forget to charge me for something.
i do that too.

i've turned in wallets and purses before. louis is my weakness. i can't even say for sure what i'd do, but i am saying (not to you documad, just generally for this thread) that it's easy to post about it when you're not in the situation.

bobby found some ID cards when we were walking home from the ice-t show. they were in a weird area, and scattered, no wallet around. he wanted to track down the person and give them back and i told him not to touch them and then he picked them up anyway. my point to him with that is he doesn't know how those got there like they were. what if her body were on the other side of the bushes or on the other side of the building, and the guy who killed her had touched them? not only would bobby be disrupting a crime scene, if the person who did it touched the IDs, then he obscured that guy's prints. or the way the cops work here, he might end up as a suspect. or what if she were robbed and gave a vague description of a white dude with blonde hair? again, he's a suspect. would it get sorted out later? yes. but how much later? what should have happened instead is he should have just called the police instead of touching them.

[hardnox71]

1. I guess you're completely blind to what a dickhead you are eh?

2. I have lost my wallet a few times,

1. Absolutely oblivious.

2. Exactly my point. Keep track of your fucking shit. It's YOUR shit, it's YOUR fucking job, not mine or anyone else's.

[hardnox71]

i wouldn't wanna go out of my way to find the person or anything if they don't have any address in the wallet...i'd maybe turn it over to the police at best
This guy had an address on his ID........all the way out in Arlington Heights. You guys are not from here so you don't know but to get to Arlington Heights you have to take two camels and parachute out of fucking plane. I'm not going through all that shit. He had his business cards, also. He works in fucking Morton Grove. I'm not trekking all the way out there either. And I'm not waiting around in some fucking McDonalds for two fucking hours while he makes his way back into the city to get his shit. This will teach him to keep better track of his belongings.

[hardnox71]

I was pretty fucking upset because some jerkoff has it now. And my name was labeled on the inside. I hope his CD player breaks.
Why is the person who found your CD a jerkoff because you were irresponsible? How does that work?

[Bob]

i would file that under "not going out of my way to return it", don't worry, i wouldn't have bothered either

[Documad]

I have thought about it when I pick up credit cards in a public place. I feel much more comfortable if I can hand them quickly to a nearby cashier and leave it in her hands. When I've found them at night outside, it has occured to me that there is a very slim chance that someone could accuse me of something if I was found in possession of it before I report it. I've assumed that risk because I'm a middle aged white woman and it's usually happened in an okay neighborhood and there aren't any surrounding circumstances that make it look like a crime. I can definitely see a situation where I wouldn't pick up cards on the street (and even more so a wallet) -- especially if I were not a white middle-aged female.

But once you decide to pick up the wallet and look inside, I think you've taken on a moral responsibility to do something with it that makes it more likely to be reunited with its owner.

It's a sad, sad world, but I would never be a big sister for the same reason. I worry that I'd be paired with a disturbed juvenile who would accuse me of something. You see crazy pit falls when you work in criminal law for a while.

Expensive pens are my particular weakness. I've never found one, but if it was laying in the street with nothing to ID its owner . . . . :o

[Documad]

Is Arlington Heights the movie where there's a terrorist living in the suburbs?

[g-mile7]

If the owner is smart the cards should be canceled by now.

[Bob]

It's not fair to judge everyone in a profession because of an off-hand comment that one person said on a message board. I'm a lawyer and "finders keepers" is not my motto.

so the rule of capture does not apply to wallets? i should write that down, we're studying that in my property class right now (totally not joking)

[hardnox71]

1. You don't have to track down anyone, you idiot. Turn it in to the cops. You don't even have to go to the station (and by the way, the fact that you only enter one when you're cuffed ought to tell you which problem you're a part of). Shit, look the dude up in the phone book, call him, and tell him to come to your house and get his wallet. It really isn't that difficult to do.

2. Turning ID and credit cards over to some piece of shit hood and then whining because you didn't profit adequately from somebody else's misfortune is pretty fucking low, man. I hope the cops knock out a few of your teeth next time you're cuffed for being such a badass.

1. What fucking part of 'I don't give a fuck enough about it to go through all that shit' don't you understand, Asswipe? The guy lost his shit. That is his problem, not mine. And, please, why don't you tell me what problem I am a part of. I would love to hear this from the resident sociologist.

2. Profit adequately? I didn't profit at all, you moron. Someone's misfortune or someone's else carelessness. It was a Friday night in an area that has a slew of clubs and bars. The guy was fucking hammered and careless. And how does my indifference make me a badass?

[QueenAdrock]

2. Exactly my point. Keep track of your fucking shit. It's YOUR shit, it's YOUR fucking job, not mine or anyone else's.

Sometimes things just fall out. No one MEANS to drop a wallet or anything else. And maybe they try to keep track of it by going back to where they last saw it...but it's gone.

And it may not be your job to keep track of their stuff, but it's also not your job to pick up the wallet in the first place. Beth had that mentality with Bobby and the credit cards, and sometimes it's the right one.

[befsquire]

yeah, it is pretty sad out there documad. and i feel you on the pens; i love my montblanc (i've had it for about 10 years now!).

anyway, a dude at the office just lost a murder trial last week. 19 year old kid, going to do life (and in florida, life means life). i didn't even know about the case when bobby and i were in that situation, but apparently this kid is on video using the credit card of a woman who had been murdered earlier (whether she was murdered minutes, hours or a day earlier, i don't know). the kid said he got the card from someone else (he might have even paid $10 for it). the state offered him 5 years to plea to using the card and they'd drop the murder charge. he refused. and now he'll do life.

i guess if you're the type who would / could kill someone, dumping their wallet is a good way to get the cops to focus on someone else who tries to use the card.

[tracky]

I lost my wallet with like $500 cash in it once. Fucking cunts.

[QueenAdrock]

Why is the person who found your CD a jerkoff because you were irresponsible? How does that work?

He's a jerkoff because it would take him less than a minute to turn it into lost and found, or just LEAVE IT THERE. I wasn't irresponsible, everyone makes mistakes. How is it irresposible to get out of your car and accidentally knock something on the ground and not notice it? It'd be irresponsible if I had it with a bunch of my other stuff and left it in a room unattended KNOWINGLY. Accidents happen, and once I realized my mistake, it was gone.

I surely hope nothing like this happens to you, because you'll then realize how truly frustrating it is.

[hardnox71]

1. That's another reason I got rid of that shit. You guys have no idea how many times I get stopped on some random "you fit the description" bullshit. The last fucking thing I need is to be in posession of someone's else's wallet and cards when the cops decide to give me a quick pat down because it's slow night and they have nothing else to do. I would sit in lock up until this mope could be reached and all this shit could be straightened out. No, sir. No me. Not gonna happen.

2. Documad, everybody's moral compass setting is different. I just don't feel it's my responsibility.

[Schmeltz]

What fucking part of 'I don't give a fuck enough about it to go through all that shit' don't you understand


The sheer laziness. To me, it doesn't make much sense that you would bother to turn the stuff over to some scumbag, but not bother at all to try and find its rightful owner. But then I guess you've probably been victimized enough already what with the wallet not having any money in it. You can only ask so much of a lowlife, after all.

[Documad]

so the rule of capture does not apply to wallets? i should write that down, we're studying that in my property class right now (totally not joking)
Ha Ha! That was from my very first property law class in my very first semester.

You have to learn your old english common law in a vacuum and not consider modern statutes and whatnot. It's disaster if you take the blinders off.

[hardnox71]

1. He's a jerkoff because it would take him less than a minute to turn it into lost and found, or just LEAVE IT THERE.

2. I surely hope nothing like this happens to you, because you'll then realize how truly frustrating it is.
1. 'or just LEAVE IT THERE' so someone else can come by and take it?

2. It has happened to me. I've lost a gang of shit and never once gotten anything back. It would be nice and sweet if we live inside a Disney movie but we don't. I don't like it either but that's just the way it is. It's not the other persons fault. It's mine. I learned to keep up with my shit.

[hardnox71]

I lost my wallet with like $500 cash in it once. Fucking cunts.
I did the exact same thing about ten years ago. Just cashed my check. Went drinking at the bar. Went to the bathroom and while I was pissing I go to light a cigarette and had to pull my wallet out to get to my lighter. Put my wallet on top of the toilet paper dispenser. Walked out and forgot it. Twenty minutes later I realize it's gone and of course no one in the bar knew anything about it.

Taught me to:

1. Stop carrying a gotdamned wallet. Haven't carried one since that night.

2. KEEP TRACK OF MY FUCKING SHIT!!!!!

[hardnox71]

Is Arlington Heights the movie where there's a terrorist living in the suburbs?
I dunno.

[QueenAdrock]

The "Leave it there" applies to everyone who may have walked by it.

And you didn't think the guy who took your shit was a jerkoff? You just said "Oh, well. That's fine. It was my mistake, what a nice fellow he was to have done that."? I personally was mad as hell, so yeah, I do think he's a jerkoff. It IS the other person's fault if they take it from where the person may have found it.

[hardnox71]

1. To me, it doesn't make much sense that you would bother to turn the stuff over to some scumbag, but not bother at all to try and find its rightful owner.

2. But then I guess you've probably been victimized enough already what with the wallet not having any money in it. You can only ask so much of a lowlife, after all.

1. The scumbag was standing right there. If the rightful owner was standing right there I would have given it to him. You see, Schmuck, it's all about being in the right place at the right time.

2. Yes, this is true. Us lowlifes can only do so much.

[Documad]

I guess it was Arlington Road, not Arlington Heights. I can't remember what happened but there was a surprise.

[hardnox71]

No. You know what? I didn't think the guy who took my shit was a jerkoff. Know why. BECAUSE I'M THE ONE WHO LOST MY SHIT. IT WAS MY FUCKING FAULT FOR NOT KEEPING UP WITH MY SHIT. WHAT DON'T YOU PEOPLE GET ABOUT 'IT'S YOUR JOB TO KEEP UP WITH YOUR OWN SHIT.' Didn't you guys learn this shit in, like, first grade.

I was more mad at myself for being so gotdamned careless that at anyone else.

[Bob]

I guess it was Arlington Road, not Arlington Heights. I can't remember what happened but there was a surprise.

is that the one with jeff bridges? or is it jeff daniels...i get the confused. was it even a jeff? the big lebowski, him

[hardnox71]

Im a total asshole but I couldnt keep someones wallet. Id instantly gravitate towards a mental image of a family of crying ass unfed kids who wont be eating cuz "dads wallet was lost"
Dude, this guy had gold and platinum credit cards and he lives in Arlington Heights. Nobody in his fucking family is hurting, believe me.

[hardnox71]

is that the one with jeff bridges? or is it jeff daniels...i get the confused. was it even a jeff? the big lebowski, him
Jeff Bridges-The Big Lebowski

Jeff Daniles-Dumb and Dumber

[QueenAdrock]

How exactly do you "Keep up" with all your shit? You keep an inventory of everything you have, wherever you go? When you leave an apartment store, you search through your wallet to make sure your proper ID, credit cards, money, pictures are all there? You look on your fingers to make sure all your rings are there? When you get out of your car, you check around the entire car to make sure that nothing accidentally fell out? And then you check the car next to yours to make sure nothing rolled underneath? And when you were in school, you checked your backpack regularly to make sure that nothing had fallen out of the backpack by accident?

If so, I applaud you for your thoroughness. However, there are people who don't have time to constantly be checking every possession they have that might be of value to them, to make sure it's still there.

Either way, he wasn't asking for this to happen to him. He didn't want the wallet to fall on the sidewalk. He didn't want someone coming along and take it, and give the cards to an associate to be used against him. Granted, he could have been more thorough when "keeping inventory" or whatever, but to use that as a justification against him seems very harsh to me. Everyone makes mistakes, and you should be more understanding of it, especially since it's happened to you.

[Documad]

Yes, Jeff Bridges and Tim Robbins. One of them was the bad guy.

[DroppinScience]

My rationalization is this:

If I find any change or bills just lying on the ground, it's mine for the taking. I used to work in a movie theatre and we'd find lots of pocket change (which we'd all keep) when cleaning the theatres in between showings. Paper money was found only once in a blue moon and we all kept that, too.

There's been a few cases where I'd be walking behind someone and they'd accidentally drop a $5 bill or something. I'll give it to them immediately rather than keeping it since they're only a couple feet behind you and the guilt factor is high. But if it's blowing in the wind on the streets, it's "finders keepers."

But if said money is found inside of a wallet or purse, you better turn that in. My line of thinking is that anything contained in a wallet is strictly the property of said person. And that's especially low that you'd turn over credit cards to your "associates" so he can go nuts and buy lots of crap on Amazon.com or something.

This thread really does show the worst in humanity and if we're to learn anything, you better be extra paranoid about NOT losing your wallet/purse/whatever.

(n)

[Schmeltz]

Didn't you guys learn this shit in, like, first grade.


Yep: brand-new sneakers stolen from my locker, much to mine and my parents' dismay. And another thing I learned in first grade was some basic honesty. I'm not saying people shouldn't blame themselves first if they're careless with their belongings, nor am I asserting that it's reasonable to expect lost valuables to be returned (though it's always nice when they are).

But I am asserting that turning someone else's valuables over to petty thugs is a shithead thing to do, and I am asserting that you'd be a better person for having taken the extremely minimal trouble to help someone in a tight spot resolve their situation. If more people did that, instead of helping trashy roughnecks with credit card fraud, maybe life would be a little easier for all of us. But then your definition of a little easier seems to consist solely of assuming as little responsibility as possible, and happening to be in the right place at the right time, so I don't expect you to think too hard about that, or much of anything else.

[hardnox71]

How exactly do you "Keep up" with all your shit?
How stupid are you? Keep track of the shit you leave the house with. It's that simple. As for the rest of your post, I didn't bother to read it.

[QueenAdrock]

Maybe you should read it, then.

And there's no need for insults, I have the courtesy not to insult you.

[hardnox71]

You know, Schmuck, you keep calling me a thug like I robbed this fucking guy. I didn't take shit from anyone. I found a gotdamned wallet in the middle of the fucking street and I just don't care enough about the situation to go through all the motions to find this mope. How does that make me a thug?

[g-mile7]

Like I said: whoever dropped it more then likely canceled his cards.

[hardnox71]

Maybe you should read it, then.

And there's no need for insults, I have the courtesy not to insult you.
Just like I didn't care enough to return this guys wallet, I don't care enough to read your post.

It's not an insult. It's a legitimate question. What do you mean, "How do you keep up with your shit?" Do you really need someone to tell you this?

[DroppinScience]

Like I said: whoever dropped it more then likely canceled his cards.

I'm sure they were all cancelled before the "associate" could bid $20,000 on a Terminator 2 pinball machine at eBay.

[Documad]

It's funny that so many people think of Jeff Bridges as The Big Lebowski. He's such a great actor and that's what he's going to be known for. :p

[hardnox71]

Like I said: whoever dropped it more then likely canceled his cards.
Oh, I'm sure. If he didn't then he deserves whatever he's got coming for being so damend stupid. Like I said before, if I lost a wallet and even if it was returned to me I'm cancelling and renewing all my shit any-fucking-way because I don't know what was done with my cards while my wallet was missing.

[QueenAdrock]

Just like I didn't care enough to return this guys wallet, I don't care enough to read your post.

It's not an insult. It's a legitimate question. What do you mean, "How do you keep up with your shit?" Do you really need someone to tell you this?

If you left out the "How stupid are you?" part, yes, it would be a legitimate question and not insulting.

If you read the rest of my post, it would make sense. You'd have to keep up with everything you've ever owned, every minute of the day, or possibly it might be lost. That's very harsh thinking, because people make mistakes. Watching everything you have at all points of time is a very hard thing to do, and though I agree he may have been careless, I also don't think he deserved having the wallet picked up and credit cards dispersed.

[hardnox71]

I'm sure they were all cancelled before the "associate" could bid $20,000 on a Terminator 2 pinball machine at eBay.
You're a riot.

[befsquire]

it's funny to me that schmeltz is coming down so hard on you in this thread, as if he's morally superior.

to some, schmeltz, you are one of the people who should be walking into a police station through booking, and not the front door. to some, your pot smoking makes you a lowlife druggie.

i've got no problem with people smoking pot, so don't post a response making me into some sort of crusader. and you're certainly entitled to your opinion, of course. but you're walking a thin line when you stand in judgment of someone and call them a lowlife.

weren't you bragging about eating some sandwich made out of $100 beef that someone paid for and didn't eat? did you first offer to wrap it for them so they could take it home? if so, and they declined, right on. but, if they walked out, forgetting about it, did you try to run it out to their car to them? or call them? you could easily track them down, right? now you might think it's a ridiculous analogy, but really, it's not that far off, is it?

[Schmeltz]

Dude, I've never been arrested, never committed a crime (well, not a real crime), never had cuffs on, I don't know anybody who could profit from a stolen credit card, and I return people's shit when I find it instead of handing it to the nearest sketchbag and bitching because I couldn't get any free money. Maybe that doesn't make me a saint or you a thug, but I reserve the right to call it like I see it: you're a shithead.

In reply to befsquire: I pay my own rent, bills, and university tuition through a full-time job and occasionally a second part-time one. If, after all that, my recreational pot use makes me a "lowlife druggie," then so be it. It's not like I sit around the house all day watching movies and smoking pot, living off the dole and doing nothing productive.

Also, that prime rib was from a catered affair and all the food was packed up for the party to take home - except for the prime rib, which they didn't want. So it was up for grabs fair and square. Again: I am a basically honest person and I'm not interested in profiting at the expense of other people, only through my own efforts. That makes me a better person than someone who looks for every opportunity for a free lunch, if you ask me.

[hardnox71]

If you left out the "What are you, stupid?" part, yes, it would be a legitimate question and not insulting.

If you read the rest of my post, it would make sense. You'd have to keep up with everything you've ever owned, every minute of the day, or possibly it might be lost. That's very harsh thinking, because people make mistakes.

Wah, wah, wah. Whatever. You need to grow up and learn to KEEP TRACK OF YOUR SHIT!!! Your MP-3 player, your cell phone, your laptop, your purse, your FUCKING WALLET, your eyeglasses, your watch, your Gameboy, your bookbag, your socks, your underware, your shoes, your housekeys, your house, your carkeys, your car, your cat, your dog, your brother, your sister, your mom, your dad............

KEEP TRACK OF YOUR FUCKING SHIT!!!!!

[hardnox71]

Do you feel better now?

[QueenAdrock]

Or else you deserve this.

You must be pro-life too, because they believe that if you have sex, you therefore want a baby.

I just don't think that way, sorry.

[g-mile7]

Beth thank U. And its not that vague if you know me off here.

[hardnox71]

Or else you deserve this.

You must be pro-life too, because they believe that if you have sex, you therefore want a baby.

I just don't think that way, sorry.
:confused:

The fuck are you talking about. No, wait, scratch that. I don't even want to know or do I care.

[QueenAdrock]

A lot of those girls try their very hardest to use birth control, and personally I don't think they should have to suffer through pregnancy and its social stigmatas if they tried their hardest to be responsible. Same type of thinking.

People may try their hardest to keep track of their shit, and if they lose it completely by accident, I don't think they should have to suffer by someone else picking it up and giving their stuff away.

It's not black-and-white in many cases, the thinking of "Do this or deal with this" is very harsh thinking.

[Bob]

Ha Ha! That was from my very first property law class in my very first semester.

You have to learn your old english common law in a vacuum and not consider modern statutes and whatnot. It's disaster if you take the blinders off.

yeah it's kind of annoying to be honest. we're studying these cases from like the 19th century about whaling and fox hunting and buying lands from native americans and stuff. i mean it provides an insight to how property law got started, but is that really relevant to someone who needs to know the law as it exists today?

i don't know, maybe it is. i haven't even been here a month yet

[g-mile7]

Oh, I'm sure. If he didn't then he deserves whatever he's got coming for being so damend stupid.
Ive found 80 and 100+ dollars in the gutter and mall before. I also assume 2 much that, do to my area, no one will miss the cash. I also have a 2 day rule b4 I spend the money if a large amount such as a 50.

[Schmeltz]

Also, if it seems like I'm coming down hard and being presumptuous, I probably am: a bunch of my stuff got jacked from work a few days ago and I don't have a lot of patience right now for the kind of thinking hardnox has been displaying here.

[befsquire]

sucks when shit gets jacked from your job. because those people are your friends / co-workers, you don't expect them to do that.

my umbrella was taken by a corrections officer at the jail the other day. i hope whoever took it is nice to all the inmates charged with petit theft. i couldn't take it past the control room though, because it could be used as a weapon.

oh, and i thought you were an alias of this dude who was a huge dick. sorry for the false accusation.

[synch]

EXACTLY!!! That is the entire point of the thread. 'Find a wallet. No cash.' That's exactly it. Boy, you're quick, synch. And I couldn't give a fuck about the admiration of my peers. I don't live my life to please others. If you don't know that about me by now then you haven't been paying attention.I was just making a point in the sarcastic manner that might get me either killed or at least hospitalised some day.

I do however find it odd that anyone would make a thread about this but hey-ho.

[Pres Zount]

hahaha. Is this the same hardnox that is always complaining how he always get's in trouble and wrongly accused of things? Now you know why, you piece of shit.

I'm guessing you would take anybodys wallet, rich or poor.

[Schmeltz]

sucks when shit gets jacked from your job.


Not just me either: three other people got ripped off too. :mad:


sorry for the false accusation.


That threw me for a bit of a loop for sure. But I will return the sentiment: I meant my earlier comment as a joke, definitely not some kind of put-down. So, sorry if it came across as mean-spirited.

[g-mile7]

hahaha. Is this the same hardnox that is always complaining how he always get's in trouble and wrongly accused of things? Now you know why, you piece of shit.

Here comes trouble, but I'm sure that was your intention with posting your first comment in this thread in this style of diction.

[zorra_chiflada]

i don't know what hardnox really expects. he posts a thread bragging about finding a wallet, giving the cards away to his "associates" but being pissed because there was no money in there. i mean what the fuck? do he want a standing ovation? most people think that behaviour is unacceptable. if only faithbanks were here to agree with him.
and i like how he couldn't be bothered taking it to the police station, but he could be bothered to actually take the wallet and hand the cards to one of his "associates." did he expect us to all go "yeah, man, that was sooo cool of you"??

[Helvete]

Oh you guys are silly! Come on, you can't blame Hardknox, he's like a half black or something, isn't he? You know, slavery, oppression, chains. He's just sticking it to the man!

[Pres Zount]

Here comes trouble, but I'm sure that was your intention with posting your first comment in this thread in this style of diction.
Yeah, apart from the desire to stir up trouble, I got nothing.

I actually agree that one should take as many wallets as one can find. Take the money and run, that's a lesson for your kids, I'm sure.

[TAL]

Take the money and run, that's a lesson for your kids, I'm sure.
As taught by Steve Miller.

1. That's another reason I got rid of that shit. You guys have no idea how many times I get stopped on some random "you fit the description" bullshit. The last fucking thing I need is to be in posession of someone's else's wallet and cards when the cops decide to give me a quick pat down because it's slow night and they have nothing else to do.

Yeah man you were totally smart and shit about it, you just handed it off to your "associate". Even the way you talk is ridiculous. Just shut up already.

i can't believe i'm posting on this section or this thread..
but whatever...


if this guys address was right there in his wallet...put it in a $2 parcel and mail it to him.
the whole thing will cost you maybe $5.
failing that, drop it off at a police station.

you needn't require an award or reward.
it's called being a civilized, social human being.

reciprocity is how our species got to where it is.
"every man for himself" and "take care of your own shit" gets a culture and species extinct...
a species such as ourselves, a social "pack" species, relies on reciprocity and cooperation and perhaps even altruism for survivial.

imagine what our world would become if we suddenly all decided to "just take care of our own shit".
the world would become a fuckin wasteland in a generation.
we are a society...a cooperating, reciprocating society.

that extends from the mighty numbers of a nation...to the individual standing on a sidewalk in downtown Chicago.

it is on this lofty understanding of society and civilization that i rest my morals and ethics on.
and this is why I or anyone can say that stealing is wrong or that being accessory to theft is wrong, that facilitating theft is wrong.....AND that not taking time and effort to help out someone in need is wrong.

there are not "differant compasses" of morality for differant people.
only one.
whether you grew up in the hamptons with a trust fund....or in the inner city ghetto picking cockaroaches out of your cereal.
one moral code.
one code of ethics.
one standard.

we all know what the "right thing" to do is.
we all make a choice....and those choices are what make us US. It is on those choices that people and society as a whole judge you...as we and they have a right to.
we depend on you...you depend on us....whether either side wants to admit to it and can see that..or not.
it is true.

one of my favorite quotes from full metal jacket is something like this...

"If it weren't for pieces of shit like you that leave things unsecure then there wouldn't be thieves"

[hardnox71]

Also, if it seems like I'm coming down hard and being presumptuous, I probably am: a bunch of my stuff got jacked from work a few days ago and I don't have a lot of patience right now for the kind of thinking hardnox has been displaying here.
Apparantly you can't read. I found a wallet. Key word there is found. The key word in your post is jacked. I don't jack people. I never have. When most people are gullible enough to hand over whatever they have anyway with the right amount of schmooze.

Don't be mad at me because your shit got boosted. These are two completely different situations.

[hardnox71]

hahaha. Is this the same hardnox that is always complaining how he always get's in trouble and wrongly accused of things? Now you know why, you piece of shit.

I'm guessing you would take anybodys wallet, rich or poor.
You seem to have the same visualization problem that Schmuck has. I didn't take shit from anyone. I found a fucking wallet. End of story.

[hardnox71]

Oh you guys are silly! Come on, you can't blame Hardknox, he's like a half black or something, isn't he? You know, slavery, oppression, chains. He's just sticking it to the man!
Watch your mouth with the 'half black' shit, dickhead. I've never said anything in this post regarding the color of my skin. So why should you bring it up?

[hardnox71]

did he expect us to all go "yeah, man, that was sooo cool of you"??
Yes, zorra, that's the reason I wake up every day, with the hope of everyone on the board to finally agree in unison, "yeah, man, that was sooo cool of you." Everybody has to have a dream right?

Fuck off.

[zorra_chiflada]

you fuck off

[hardnox71]

Yeah man you were totally smart and shit about it, you just handed it off to your "associate". Even the way you talk is ridiculous. Just shut up already.
I don't have to. It's my fucking thread. Don't like what I'm saying then get the fuck out. It's that easy.

OK, this is the first thing that anyone has posted that has made close to any sense.

Your post has been duely noted. Thanks, Q.

It's kinda unfortunate there was no money in the wallet, Hardnox is gonna have to run up some old ladies for their purses or do over the liquor store on the corner tonight.

[hardnox71]

You're just so incredibly stupid. Tell me, Helmet, does it take alot of work being that fucking dumb or does it just come natural to you.

I DIDN'T TAKE SHIT FROM ANYBODY AND FUCK EVERYONE WHO KEEPS SAYING I DID.

There.

[Helvete]

Let me help you with this one hardnox

he didn't STEAL the wallet, he FOUND it!
Yeah, like I found the register in that store open, with the cashier on the ground and a gun in my hand pointing at his head. Fucking finding shit, eh?!

[hardnox71]

[hardnox71]

ooh you're gonna feel stupid in a minute heehee
And how is that? I didn't take a gotdamned thing from anyone and fuck you all who say I did.

There, I said it again. Now, how the fuck am I supposed to feel stupid?

[HOTWIFE]

And how is that?
alright, i've had enough fun for one night. I'm just starting to feel bad for ya now.

[hardnox71]

Yeah, like I found the register in that store open, with the cashier on the ground and a gun in my hand pointing at his head. Fucking finding shit, eh?!
Tell me how you associate finding a wallet in the middle of the street with knocking over a liquor store, Helmet.

You're really stretching for these insults, aren't you?:rolleyes:

[Helvete]

And how is that? I didn't take a gotdamned thing from anyone and fuck you all who say I did.

There, I said it again. Now, how the fuck am I supposed to feel stupid?

You're easy to anger, hardcox71. SEE WHAT I DID THERE?! WITH THE NAME?!?! HAHAH. IT'S BECAUSE YOU'RE A HOMO WHO LIKES HARD COCKS!1

And YES YOU DID TAKE SOMETHING FROM SOMEONE!

You took a little humanity from us all.

[hardnox71]

alright, i've had enough fun for one night. I'm just starting to feel bad for ya now.
Again, my world revolves around what you think of me.

[hardnox71]

1. You're easy to anger, hardcox71. SEE WHAT I DID THERE?! WITH THE NAME?!?! HAHAH. IT'S BECAUSE YOU'RE A HOMO WHO LIKES HARD COCKS!1

And YES YOU DID TAKE SOMETHING FROM SOMEONE!

2. You took a little humanity from us all.
1l. Do you really think you're the very first one to think of that? You guys aren't worth getting angry over. You don't mean that much to me. Your stupidity is quite annoying, I will admit, though.

2. Oh, give me a break. :rolleyes:

[Helvete]

I'm sorry, Hardie. I've never had to deal with your people before.

[g-mile7]

I would have at least turned over the cards/wallet.Thats me Hardnox,but there is a possblity that the owner could spin the sitution as if U stole it. That is rare,but possible.And from what U have told me in your PM's I could see why you'd pass the moral responsblity 2 your homie.And just because Hardnox excerised poor judgement does not make such comments as Helevetes acceptble. You asked if I was thinking with my comments made in fun.What excuse do you have for yours bordering racism/stereotyping?

[hardnox71]

I'm sorry, Hardie. I've never had to deal with your people before.
What the fuck does 'your people' mean?

[Helvete]

What the fuck does 'your people' mean?
Rollerbladers.

[kate]

why is this thread still on top? why does every single member of the board find it necessary to tell everyone twice what they'd do with the wallet. i need better reading material assholes.

read my story about ye olde condomme shoppe

it's the first of a series

How is my indifference viewed as poor judgement. In all honesty, I just don't care enough about this guys shit to track him down, plain and simple. I don't fucking care. That's it. That's just the way it is. He lost his shit and that is his problem not mine. That's is just the way I am and I will not apologize for being me. I just don't care.

[Kerrbear]

Everyone keeps talking about morals being a "compass", but isn't it kind of like a sliding scale, and each person has their own point where they start to take the law seriously? Some people think that it's ok to smoke pot, even though it's actually, really ILLEGAL. Some people think it's ok to keep a found wallet. Does anyone on this board own (gasp) a bootleg CD? Does everyone drive exactly the speed limit? We're all guilty of breaking the law at some point. It's not ok, but we all do it.

The passing of the cards. But hey like I've said b4 on here you do you. I know you understand that homie.

[Helvete]

Honestly though, all jokes aside, and I have been playing with fire saying the shit I have to piss you off on purpose.

If you really didn't care about finding the wallet, why would you even make a thread like this in the way you did? Like it was cool that you found some expensive wallet which you kept, handing over the cards to this 'associate' (who we can only imagine for what nefarious reason), and then act all pissed because there was no money in it.

Doesn't really come across as though you are a particular honest or trustworthy person to be around. I've never met you, so I can't hold any real judgement, but still.

[kate]

i dont see anything about a condom shop! where!!

pretty much i guess. everyone's got their own set of morals (i really don't subscribe to theories of moral objectivity...there's intersubjective agreement on a large scale at best, but that's it), and they rarely coincide perfectly with the law. but here, it seems like hardnox's morals don't coincide with the popular morality of the board, and he's getting blasted for it. who knows if that's justified or not. probably not, but people like to judge

[ericlee]

i just look at it like this. Firstly, I think it was wrong to give the credit cards over to his friend but, if he were to just leave the wallet there and as he explained, it would have landed in someone else's hands...It's not really my business. As I said, if there was money in the wallet, I'd take it but, I would be doing wrong by that so fuck it...

Secondly, I hate when people can't keep track of their shit. I've had a soldier who was in my platoon that lost his wallet. He told me about it and I made him do push-ups. I was going to recommend an article 15 on his ass but I decided to cut him some slack since it was his first time. In the army, if you "lose" shit then some serious shit can happen if it gets in the wrong hands so, I'm not too lenient on it. I'm not in the army anymore but, that one trait in particular has stuck with me.

I always pat myself down after doing anything. I get out of my car, I pat my pockets, I get done taking a shit, I pat my pockets, I leave a store, I pat my pockets...And maybe after this incident, the guy who lost his wallet will do the same thing.
