how do you know
that they already haven't?

I could be doing a good turn to someone else anyway, by not handing it in, the owner won't be wearing it when that lorry zooms round the corner, so they'll hear it in time and won't be squished.

Ah so you done them a favour by stealing their shuffle
If you're lucky the victim will write you a letter thanking you!

I didn't steal it
they lost it. If there had been anyone else on the bus I would have asked people if it was theirs. But there wasn't. If I handed it in, it's most likely going to sit in a box at the depot for six months then handed out at the Christmas raffle.

I'm just the bitter bastard
That has lost an inordinate amount of wallets/phones/etc while drunk.

I've actually returned phones and things to the rightful owner before - it rarely works the other way though :(
