I experienced a "found item" situation last autumn on an airplane that disturbed me a little. I was sitting in an aisle seat when a gentleman a few rows behind me nudged me and pointed to a credit card sitting on the floor in the aisle next to me, asking if it was mine. It was not, but I immediately picked up the credit card and pressed the button for the stewardess to turn it in. She found the rightful owner, who was grateful.
The disturbing part was when we were disembarking from the plane. A woman behind me started praising me way too much for the simple act of turning it in, and actually said the card owner "has a lot of money and you could have bought a lot of expensive things". Now, something like that would never even cross my mind, but it disturbed me that she thought that way. I wonder what would have happened if she had picked up the card instead?
Anyway, back on topic. We want to see some photos with the new camera soon, Sam!
