[quote=Anonymous]The items I tend to see at our camp's lost and found are things like: water bottles, swim goggles, books, hoodies, sweat shirts, lunch boxes, etc. Not typically sweaty clothes.

My response would depend on if the camp confirmed your son's story that the kids were told to help themselves on the last day. Has he stolen things before? If not,I'd be inclined to believe his story. I know that some camps without their own facilities that borrow/rent space in other places may not be able or willing to pack up a huge box of leftover crap on the off chance that someone may claim it. I've been amazed at the things I have seen at our school's lost and found! Like shoes? How can you lose your shoes?????

One of my kids was a bit of a "magpie" for awhile at after care and at school. She saw "shiny" things and couldn't resist them sometimes. I had her return them and made her apologize to the teacher and the after care director. But she was 5. She had impulse control issues in general and was later diagnosed with ADHD. When we started meds, the stealing stopped. [/quote]
