[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid just lost two coats at college.  Left them in the dorm or cafeteria.  Haven't showed up in lost and found.

I gave him Avery name labels to take back to college.  [/quote]

You really think the name labels are going to help? If someone is gonna steal a jacket-they are gonna steal it with or without a label.[/quote]

IDK, both jackets were pretty common brands and models (nice looking but not cool/elite/resellable).  By the time somebody realized it was not theirs (because they have 2), they might not remember where they picked up one of them to drop it back off.  It's also possible my kid needs to check other buildings beyond dorm and cafeteria.

My kid brought home the wrong brand of black snowpants from the elementary lost and found once.  We went back together the next day and I found the correct ones and dropped off the mistaken ones.

I would like to imagine that college students are not casual thieves.  And if something was genuinely lost, giving a phone number would work.

Anyway, wanted to share that the issue continues even with older kids, lol.

I think my kid will be more careful now.  At least it wasn't his heavy winter coat.[/quote]

It's cute that you think his coats were not stolen. They were. Heck, someone stole my middle schooler's Owala bottle and it was labeled and had stickers on it. They are very easy to remove.[/quote]

She wants you to know that they are really smart rich kids, so obviously they would never steal! Typical. [/quote]

PP.  I was kinda being sarcastic but you missed it.  [/quote]

I know you were being sarcastic.  That’s why I responded the way that I did. You are referencing your own sarcasm without being able to recognize someone else’s. [/quote]
