[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If they are unclaimed on the last day, then they are free for the taking IMO. I'm sure this is common practice in every school, although I've never bothered to "shop" in the lost and found.

I do think there's a risk of having your child wear the jacket next year and having another child try to claim it. That's a mess I wouldn't want to be in the middle of.[/quote]

Unfortunately it’s not your decision to make as to whether these items are up for grabs or not. The school didn’t announce that they are up for grabs—they asked the owners to come forward and take items or else the items are being donated. They items that these parents want to pilfer are obviously brand-name items of value, so actually items that are valuable donations to charities. If the school wanted to announce that students/families could come “shop” the L&F before the items are donated, that would be one thing and it would give everyone a fair chance to get a few new brand name items. But the fact that these moms want to sneak back there after the deadline and before the donation happens is definitely something the ethicist would look down on. [/quote]
