Umbrella Thief

Oh I hope it wasn’t the one sitting on the ground by the seats that face the doors…I saw one there this morning (longer type and blue), you know the seats with the support pole next to them? Thought about bringing it up to the desk but I was already by the doors and there was a crush of people getting ready for the “Race up the ramp”.Sorry I didn’t go back for it! Now I feel bad, I should have just walked over and picked it up dammit!

The OP left it behind FOR A MINUTE and when he/she went back to get it, it was gone, so yeah, someone took something that wasnt theirs… in my opinion, they stole it, otherwise, they would have tuned it in…

Yes its stealing when you take something that obviously doesn’t belong to you. So Vicky, would say the same if you left your purse or other valuable at a restaurant or some other place by accident and came back to discover that someone took it and when it was found later all the money was missing. The logic you use would mean the person had every right to spend your cash.

“It’s not STEALING when you leave it behind, so be mad at yourself, asshole.”Vicky, you’re the only one coming off as the asshole here. What, you’ve never left anything behind by accident? Fuck, you must be perfect. I hope someone steals YOUR umbrella during monsoon season. See who the asshole is then.

I pay attention to my stuff, poop, so no, I don’t leave anything behind. I’m not saying I’m perfect in any way, but if you leave it, you stand a good chance of losing it, period. Ex-hali, if I were stupid enough to leave my purse anywhere with cash in it, I would not expect it to be intact if I got it back. That would be my own fault for leaving it in the first place. Who the fuck carries cash these days anyway? Get real, assholes.

Some people gotta carry cash, at least until hookers and drug dealers start taking debit or credit. Come to think of it….if we got rid of cash, what would drug dealers and hookers take in exchange for goods and services….would you have to barter with them?

If you are getting dinged like that for debit transactions, you gotta switch banks. Nobody shoudl be paying for debit these days.

Yeah, that doesn’t surprise me. That’s the bank I switched from because I was wasting so much money on transactions. I think there might be a few other major banks banks that offer much better debit deals for a lot less a month. Look into ING Direct or PC financial or some credit unions, they typically offer no fee bank accounts. Shop around a bit online, there are lots of options.

PC Financial automatically puts a 7 BUSINESS day hold on any funds you deposit into the account( aside from EFT’s). When opening any bank account there is either legal disclosures they read you(if opening over the phone) or you sign the papers that outline perfectly well the fee structure.Free banking…not a chance..but doing your banking as cheaply as possible is very doable.

and like what was asked cat lady…..how could the person that picked up the umbrella know how long it was sitting there? How do they know it wasnt from the previous trip accross the water? What if they picked it up and were looking for you in a busy terminal and missed you? What if you were walking back to get it, and they walked past you on the way to turn it in, and turned it into the incorrect person? What if the person that found it, turned it into the transit corporations lost and found? These are all viable options, They are all possible, However it seems as though OP has confirmed this was a theft. Strange considering the many other options here.

Vicky, how did you know that???…. OMG is that YOU??? The Vicky that does that thing??? How you doing???… How long has it been??? Sorry I didn’t recognize you without the mattress on your back.

We’ll have to call it a draw for now Vicks… Unless you can top yourself on that last one…
