There was a story in the newspaper about a woman and her wedding ring. She had put it in a cup and her husband threw it away. The staff at the WL dug through the dumpster and returned it to her. Gotta love Disney!

Talk about your unenforceable laws.
If the police don't know you lost something how on earth are they going to arrest you it!

A friend of mine went to WDW a few years ago to watch his daughter in a parade......he ended up leaving his camera in the room at All Star.
When he got home he called, and they informed him they would look for it. Within a week, he received a package at our office......with his camera in it.
He went on and on about how they had mailed it to him at no cost, and what excellent customer service that was.
If every business, church, etc. made everyone feel the way Disney does, the world would be a better place. :wave:

Wow, buzz kill.................. when our 18 yr. old was 3 he left his lion in our room at the Yacht Club. We reported it and it was mailed back to a very happy boy within a week with a nice note. It had gone trhough the laundry as it was in the bed sheets.
Here's an excerpt from the Florida statute:
705.102. Reporting lost or abandoned property
(1) Whenever any person finds any lost or abandoned property, such person shall report the description and location of the property to a law enforcement officer.
(2) The law enforcement officer taking the report shall ascertain whether the person reporting the property wishes to make a claim to it if the rightful owner cannot be identified or located. If the person does wish to make such claim, he or she shall deposit with the law enforcement agency a reasonable sum sufficient to cover the agency's cost for transportation, storage, and publication of notice. This sum shall be reimbursed to the finder by the rightful owner should he or she identify and reclaim the property.
(3) It is unlawful for any person who finds any lost or abandoned property to appropriate the same to his or her own use or to refuse to deliver the same when required.
(4) Any person who unlawfully appropriates such lost or abandoned property to his or her own use or refuses to deliver such property when required commits theft as defined in s. 812.014, punishable as provided in s. 775.082, s. 775.083, or s. 775.084.
I never said it was aginst the law to not report it. It is against the law to not report a found item. I may have mis-worded that. If you find something, generally that means (but not always) someone lost it. That means it is a lost item. That's what I meant. Items that are found generally aren't called "found items" but rather "lost items." I should have been more clear.
Actually, the main problem is that the poster who originally quoted you put the line about reporting lost items in bold whereas you did not. That made that line stand out on its own and somewhat altered the context. I think many readers read that revised edition. It does make more sense in your original post without the bold. By changing the style of someone's original post in a quote, it can change the meaning. Quoters and quotees beware.

However, it is generally common practice to bold parts of a quote that you are responding to, especially when there are several sentences in the post.
So...guilty as charged. :shrug:
Perhaps underlining would have worked better, or a different color?
I do most of my posting at work...so I am not always careful with my wording. Glad it orginally made sense. On topic, I couldn't imagine if it were against the law for someone to fail to report losing something...I think we'd all be in prison. I lose things on a daily basis.
