My son and I went to a thrift store in Lexington Park this past Friday because he needed a " suit for a play he's in this week. Unfortunately, he took his gameboy in with him and laid it down on the table next to the suits while he tried on a jacket. We went, paid for the suit, went to the car and he then remember his gameboy. He went back in to get it and it was gone. This was in a matter of about 5 min's. We search everywhere, it was gone! Then one of the store staff said that they had seen one of the van drivers (a lady) playing with it but didn't see what she had done with it when she left. After discussing this with the manager, he later found out that someone else say her son (her son was with her because of no school on Friday) playing with it. When questioned, neither would admit that they had even seen it!
I am so upset, one that neither my son or I remember to pick the gameboy back up but secondly because people are so selfish that they wouldn't admit it wasn't theirs and give it back.
I'm chaulking this up to a lesson learned for both my son and I. The police say there is nothing I can do because there isn't a law saying that someone has to turn anything in that they find.
I can't imagine keeping something like that without at first trying to find the rightful owner. Am I overreacting?
