Im a part timer at a retail outlet and i somehow misplaced my
handphone on the counter i was working at and went for lunch. When
i realised my handphone was missing, I went back to my counter and
asked this aunty if she saw my handphone, she said she did not. I
then further asked her to lend me her handphone so that i could
call my hand phone in case someone else found it. She started
acting suspicious and tried to act as if she was using it. It was
only when i requested with the store manager to see the CCTV
footage did she suddenly said she found my handphone.
Its clear that she wanted to steal my handphone but when i made a
police report the officer said that maybe the staff there were
trying to play a prank on me and said that further more she
returned my handphone so he asked me "on what grounds" would i file
a police report on.
I'm seriously puzzled as does
that mean that i can take someone's handphone and return it only
when im caught?
Bear in mind that theres a CCTV just above my counter but i did not
view it.
keep your handphone will you...because you misplaced (not robbed
or pickpocketed) your phone.
like in mrt, i saw a $50 note, I can pick it up and it will
never be a crime.
The biggest amount i every pick up from the floor was $100,
seperated in 2 $50 dollars note.
and just in case anybody get me wrong, I will always try to
return the money/valuables i found.
The two $50 notes was blowned right infront of me when I was
returning from school. nobody was around.
