Don't you think that maybe it's not anyone's business who has what, or at what age?

But it does break forum etiquette of "being nice to all moneysavers" and "please be sensitive"

It doesn't matter if who lost what, the store handed over a valuable item from 'lost and found' without taking a record of the recipient or verifying it was the owners item

Yes indeed, what you say is very true.

It's my opinion that threads and discussions like these would benefit from people posting who were able to stick to the point and not veer off into matters that are irrelevant to the issue.

Regardless of the legal right and wrongs, the matter highlights JJB attitude to customers and their crap internal procedures.

London Underground (http://www.tfl.gov.uk/contact/871.aspx) require "Personal Identification will be required in all cases of property collection" ... why don't JJB take the opportunity the OP has highlighted for them to improve their company. Says a lot about JJB.

Because the London Underground has hundreds of thousends of people going through it a day and has alot of lost property so would require this system more than a store that has hundreds of people a day and has a piece of lost property once in a blue moon.

You answered your own question

I support a hefty fine and compensation or return of the stolen goods. I do not condone or support state brutality of any kind. The only reason you could infer that from the post I made is you are somewhat unstable.

But it only cures the repeat offender as I mentioned.

So would you advocate chopping the arms off offenders? That only cures the repeat offender, does the opportunist deserve this punishment?

That would be morally, I think morely means like a specific type of mushroom.

The pen analogy is exactly the same, it is still theft in a sense.

Just because I disagree with you, your reason here.

Glad to be a sad person!

I used to work for a large grocery facility on customer services and any lost property had to be fully logged and when claimed, we had to get I.D. with a name and address on it, which had to be entered onto the copy of the original logged sheet. We would always ask questions that only the real owner would know.

Shame on JJB, which branch was it?

If only JJB had excercised the same care with this young lad's IPOD, he'd more than likely have it back now, hopefully feeling very lucky and very chastened after a good talking to by Dad and maybe even have learned a lesson about taking better care of expensive items.

The scumbag of a thief may have been embarrased (although THAT's unlikely) by the store assistant's questions that clearly showed that she was trying to appropriate something that clearly didn't belong to her.

Is it really so difficult for a store to deal with lost property responsibly?

any lost property on my land goes straight in the bin.

Another analgy on 'Lost Property' If the neighbours ball or aother comes into your yard, do you keep it or hand it back?

1 Keep it
2 Hand it back straight away 9I normall give a good drop kick and back it goes!)
3 hand it into the police after 28 days.
4 Burst it

Or if you lived near golf course, would you just get a collection of golf balls?

^^ thats easy Freddy, If something lands in my garden and its not mine I throw it back out. (I live on a green so we get loads of toys and balls in my garden- so your analogy is true for me.)
Personally I would have considered the ipod lost forever once I realised I had left it in the shop theres no point blaming JJB for your loss.
