I'm starting this thread because even today, several years after the event, I still feel guilty about it.
I was waiting at the bus stop to go from Magic Kingdom to the Pop Century, and when the bus came, the doors opened and I discovered I was the only one on the bus. I took my seat and casually looked over on the seat opposite from mine, and there was a small video camera sitting on the seat. I picked it up and asked the bus driver if anyone claimed that they lost their video camera and he said no, so I held on to it. When I got back to the Pop Century, I immediately took the camera to the Customer Service counter and I told the CM that I found it on the bus and asked her to take it and hold on to it in case someone came to the counter and claimed they'd lost it.
To my surprise, she said that they receive so many lost articles and it would be almost impossible to have it returned to the original owner, that she suggested I keep it. I was kind of taken aback at her suggestion, but I did what she asked only because I didn't know what else to do.
To this day, I simply cannot use that camera without a mound of guilt on my conscience, so I put it in my safe at home and have not used it since. Even when I look at it in the safe, I cringe. I think that it must have been someone's valued camera that they wanted to use on their vacation and now they're missing it and had to perhaps buy another one to use giving them an unexpected expense.
So I did try to return it, and I feel like I did the right 'good Samaritan' thing by wanting to give it back to the owner and I feel so bad after this, that in the few years that have already gone by, I still feel guilty that I have it.
If the person who lost it is reading this, let me know and I'll send it to you! Haha!

. Still unsure if there were just a few of the style in the batch and that's just the ones I ended up with (and maybe someone else got mine?) or if someone else just got them out the basket and kept them... Either way I took the velcro off, put some alcohol on it, and a lil glue on a bit that dried out, and to me am GTG.
