Could be. What is certain though is that imposing obligations wantonly and discarding personal property is similarly immoral. What gives anyone the moral authority to impose significant demands on others for their own carelessness, misfortune, or unwillingness to spend their own time finding their property? That is a similarly 'poopy'.
And what is up with the shaming? And why assert the false statement that it's 'other people's property' when it has been intentionally abandoned?
If we can't discuss this unemotionally, it's only going to make the community worse.
I love the noble intent, but from a practical standpoint, it just doesn't play out that way and it would be much more simple with much less moral baggage to return to finders keepers--which also seems more in keeping with the law of the land.
I'll hang up and listen.
a lost disc is not discarded. it is lost.
