[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't see how this is a problem, honestly.

Let's say the PTA is in charge of moving the items from lost and found to Goodwill. I am on the PTA, let's say. I am boxing the items for goodwill...I'm putting them in my car. I find nice pants, a jacket, a lunchbox, and more. Can't *I* take those items?!? What difference does it make if I take it, or if I give it to goodwill (which throws a lot away). [/quote]

Goodwill throws a lot away, but are the things they throw away the same as the things that you'd take?  Or are you taking things that are higher quality and would have decent resale value?

I'm a teacher.  I've raided lost and found at the end of the year end then traded with teacher friends at other schools, so I have age appropriate stuff to give my kids who don't have enough, and they don't run the risk of meeting the person whose pants they are wearing.  But that's taking what was headed for charity and using it for charitable purposes.  Taking what is headed for charity for yourself or your own kids is stealing.   [/quote]

That is some questionable logic. [/quote]

Seriously! So the teacher can take things from Lost and Found and swap with other teachers and it is not stealing, but only the other non teachers who are doing that are stealing. Some twisted logic.[/quote]
