[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]If[/b] someone in charge said, "Help yourself to the lost and found" I would not think twice about it. I would help myself. That is not stealing. You people are nuts.[/quote]

Isn't this the open question?   This is the explanation that OP's DS gave her when she questioned him on how he acquired the stuff.  So...seems to me that OP should confirm that this is the case.  Do you agree?[/quote]

If I didn't believe him -- and clearly I would and I admit I am a bit of a sucker that way -- then I would definitely confirm before I would punish my DS and "teach him a lesson" and call him a liar and a thief, for sure.[/quote]

I hear you which is why I said I think that OP should confirm before taking any action.

Camp experiences differ.  However in my experience with my own kids, folks may not realize that something is "lost" until they get home and unpack.  The last day of camp there is usually a mad scramble to get packed up.  So IME, it is reasonable for a kid to get home and realize (or his parents realize) that something is missing.  Then, the following Monday the parent would call or email to try to locate the item.  Admittedly, my kids attended a camp with its own facilities and the camp even told campers to contact them if they got home and realized something was lost. [/quote]
