I myself, and others that I know of, have been given cash rewards for returning phones... It might not have been as much as you might have got for selling the phone, but a) you don't look like an idiot and b) you get something out of it anyways!

Hey, go easy on him. At least he didn't turn the phone into his manager.. You know how phones hate being turned into other things

Douche move, dude! Everyone has done stuff like that, just hope you didn't get in too much trouble over it!

You deserved it you their!

I hope she reported you to your boss and you got fired. ******* theif.

**** you, greedy piece of shit.

My take on this -- there are indeed occasions when it could be considered acceptable to pick something up off the ground and take it as your own (e.g., you find a $50 bill on the sidewalk, and no one is in sight). In the case I cited, the chances are high that the person to whom you offer this $50 will claim it, regardless of whether or not it was initially in their possession. Conversely, if you have found something valuable (like in OP's case), and there is even a distant possibility to get it back to who it owns it, then you send it through the proper channels or try to find the owner. Let any authorities involved absolve the responsibility. People say that karma is a bitch; I beg to differ. It is actually a giant dude with a penis that can cause earthquakes that register a 9.0 on the Richter scale if it hits the ground. I hope it ***** your anus. And this is coming from a dude who used to be a poor thief. |the kid|

Whatcha get ********

This isn't a FML. this is a GO **** YOUR SELF for being such a douchenugget

And you want sympathy for being a thief? Really? You should be lucky you have a job at all, although you probably don't now and you might find it difficult to get another job.
