"Finders Keepers; Loosers Weepers..." It seems most adults in our society have not moved past this mentality.
An employee at a mall in Long Island (Massapequa, more specifically, which I only know about because my Childhood friend Jamie McNeely lived there before moving to Midland Park, NJ) found a little over $12,000.00 on the floor of the mall and he returned it.
The story quickly circulated among mall employees this week, said Erica Lockhart, senior sales manager at the Nine West shoe store.
"How do you leave that sitting around?" she said.
"I told people in the mall about it and they were all like, 'Did he keep it?'" she added. "They were mad that he did turn it in."
Asked if she would have kept the money, she sighed. "Oh man, yes," she said. "I have bills to pay."
As you can see people didn't have the best reaction to the fact that he didn't keep something that didn't belong to him.
