A woman lost her camera on holidays; the family who found it decided not to return it because their child liked it so much. Now, that's parenting.
"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.
"And he was recently diagnosed with diabetes, and he's now convinced he has bad luck, and finding the camera was good luck, and so we can't tell him that he has to give it up. Also we had to spend a lot of money to get a charger and a memory card…"
I was incredulous. "This is an expensive camera, you know."
"Oh, we know, we looked it up."
I agree with the commenter on this post: she should post this family's name and hold them up for shame and ridicule. This is theft.
